If you're as old as I am, you remember the ancient urban myth that Jim Nabors had married Rock Hudson.

Apparently, that whole thing started because the two were friends and also because someone once cracked, "If Rock Hudson married Gomer Pyle, he'd be Rock Pyle," nyuck nyuck.

Well, it turns out Nabors is as gay as I always said he is, and he's really gotten married!

But not to Rock Hudson!

To his partner of 38 years!

Wel, go-o-o-ollly!!

Everyone knew he was gay but so what? The idea that everyone should express their sexuality to every stranger in the world is bullshit. Presuming that the reason they don't is because they are ashamed says more about the person making that assumption. Outing is bullying with a very thin veneer of righteousness.

It's also very small-minded to assume that everyone's sexuality is so easily defined that if they don't choose one of three or four words to describe it they are hiding.  Let's not pretend we want to know for any reason other than a 1950's Hollywood Confidential headline.

Did Sgt Carter know? The policy in those days was DADT...

Congrats to Jim (although I still wish that he and Rock had tied the knot).

@Used2BMelinda9 I wish Rock and Phyllis Gates had tied the knot.  Oh wait...they did!

Gomer Pyle was the original proof that there were gays in the military.

Will Nabors now be disinvited from singing "Back Home Again in Indiana" at the 2013 Indianapolis 500 this coming Memorial Day weekend? If not, I hope he brings his husband with him.
