Homo and Garden

Fun observation from LGBTQ journalism legend Hank Plante:

Now that TV reporters are broadcasting from their homes, I think the gay ones could teach the straight ones about home decor. Al Roker in his suburban kitchen and Chris Cuomo in his beige basement seem boring. Especially compared to ABC's James Longman in the modern London house that he shares with his boyfriend. Or Anderson Cooper in the Greenwich Village firehouse that he turned into a townhouse. (And yes, I have way too much free time.)

But is that Picasso?

Not pictured: His RIPPED body.

There's gotta be a HOME GYM in there somewhere! 

UPDATE: Did I speak too soon?

My friend Jim writes: 

He's not gay, but CNBC's David Faber is teaching us all a lesson on home decor.

UPDATE 2:

Maybe not. Poor (straight) Jeremy Bash really needs to come out of this closet.

ABC News Adds Out Foreign Correspondent James Longman

Just last week I linked to a story about the challenges James Longman faces as an openly gay BBC reporter in the Middle East. Now comes news that he will join the ABC News team as a foreign correspondent, starting Monday. The hunky reporter joins ABC News’s London bureau after spending five years reporting for the BBC from Beirut. He’s fluent in Arabic, French and English and I'm guessing the language of love.
