Yesterday on Marc Maron's pobcast WTF, comedian Todd Glass, best known from Last Comic Standing, The Sarah Silverman Program and appearances on Jimmy Kimmel and Conan O'Brien and Politically Correct, came out as a gay man. Glass has been around for years and has actually been in a relationship for several years and out to his parents and close friends for 15 years, but has never discussed it publicly. His decision to come out was based on the recent rash of LGBT youth suicides. Glass explains:"I cannot listen to stories about kids killing themselves any longer without thinking, 'When are you going to have a little blood on your shirt for not being honest about who you are?"
Congrats, Todd!! Welcome to the party. See you at the meetings. But seriously, it's great to see a man in the comedy world come out. We are everywhere, y'all!! Get used to it. Call me, Todd. By the way, you can listen to the full 87 minute podcast HERE.
