Good company and the eternal question of celebrities in the closet: Mario Lopez is not alone. And by that we mean he is not the first or last to live his life in a way that make people ask whether he is gay or not. Adam Lambert of American Idol fame did it with insouciant aplomb for the price of a song. Other celebrities do it with less ostentation and deny it in terms most stentorian when the rumor mills start whirring. The punchline is not lost on those in the know and are, by default, party to the charade. Those in the know are, for our purposes, other un-closeted gay celebrities. They often interact with and support their closeted counterparts under an implicit “don’t ask don’t tell” pact. It’s a parallel universe and we, by design or default, all live in it. Short of someone forcibly outing someone, this is knowledge that is unofficially classified. This means that it is kept under wraps until such a time as its release won’t hurt or compromise anyone.
Does this matter in the larger scheme of things? Not at all. But is it a legitimate subject for “mindless pop-cultural kvetching”? Absolutely!
With that out of the way please check out our take on Mario Lopez, in this linked Cyberaxis post (for what its worth):

Our Sacred Campaign Promise: We will keep the poll going till Mario gets married and has seven swarthy babies in vivo with a caliente chica with humongous nalgas and monstrous chichis. Did we say “caliente chica with humongous nalgas and monstrous chichis?”
Perhaps that has been one of Mario Lo’s problem. Karina Smirnoff was mucho caliente, but she did not have the aforementioned humongous nalgas and monstrous chichis. And she nearly gouged Mario’s eyes out with her bare you-know-what during an exhibition date on the beach fer crying out loud
. Come into our evidence room.

Its none of our business!
If you were Mario, how would you feel being asked this?
So what if he is? So what if he isn’t? Why do you think some people are interested in others sexual preference? [Unless you have the glad eye for them!]. It’s none of our business, is it? Shouldn’t we concentrating on the great qualities people bring to the world?
All the best from Cape Town, South Africa.

On a scale of 1 to 10, the question ranks very low next to issues like conflict in the Middle East or genocide in Darfur. However for you to suggest it is worth zip, runs counter to everything most people know about celebrity pop culture.
