I always thought he was gay. He just seemed gay somehow. Anyway, I am tired of hearing of all the gay stuff. I don't like the new sitcom Drescher has out. Her voice annoys me. She annoys me. And the flow of gay issues we have in this country annoys me.

I find her voice so irritating....and besides that I am tired of sitcoms trying to cram gay issues down my throat, as it were. 1.4% are gay yet they are all over the new tv shows and movies. http://bit.ly/l8clv1

Wow, how nice for you! I have to say that I've seen so many articles about the "wife" that's crushed when hubby comes out of the closet. My wife that I loved dearly came out after 11 years of marriage and 4 kids, it broke my heart that her "friend" taught her that I was the "enemy", it pretty much devastated our small children when she became butch and started beating them. Yeah, I stepped up, protected and raised them, thru all the harrassment etc. Thank God they all made it but not undamaged. So I'm glad you have a best "friend" but there's another side too, those of us that are left shattered after some selfish jerk used us to take the "cure" then became "free"!

i'm surprised that fran couldn't look at him and tell that he just wasn't going to be into her.

you took the words right out of my mouth....just by looking at him i knew....sometimes you really can judge a book by its cover....especially if that cover has been repeated over and over and over again with the same context inside...

The picture in this article is very recent. Of course he looks gay, because he's already out of the closet now. Im sure he didn't look like that when they met years ago. You may not remember, but Fran was raped and her husband had to watch the ordeal while being tied up. Seeing your wife getting raped must do something to you, especially if you can't do anything to stop it.

It's a bit sad that just because of her voice, I'm not surprised her husband was gay or is now her best friend. Maybe that's because her career is just based around it.

She is very annoying; I can completely believe she would make a guy turn gay.

Actually she was raped in front of him....I would say that is worse. AND she is a cancer survivor. GAY SCHMAY.

Yes, r@pe and cancer are much worse than finding out your ex is gay.

I love Fran on The Nanny. The show comes on all day long on one channel or another. When I can't find anything else to watch, I can always watch that. I don't know if I'd like her on another show. I'll give it a chance though.

I really do admire this woman. She's been through an awful lot(_rape, cancer), and yet she seems to be so strong and optimistic.

Uh doesn't she repeat this story every six months? How does she keep finding media outlets that rehash it into a headline? Interesting the first time.... now it is just repetitive.

Yep, there was this article about her gay husband and her three months ago. I'm like AGAIN? Come on man, we get it. Your gay ex husband is your best friend. We know, we know.

They're repeating the story now, as she had a new sitcom starting this week where she plays a woman who finds out her husband is gay. Fran and her ex-husband created the show based on their relationship.
