Thomas Roberts' naked truth...

I guess the moral of this story would be this: if you have a job on television, don't post nude photos of yourself on a gay cruising site because they will get out!
I'm not going to post them, sorry, but I'm sure the more resourceful of you can find Thomas Roberts in the buff for yourselves on the Kennethinthe212 site.
Kenneth, who is a new friend of mine, is like my evil twin. He can say or post things on his blog that I would never consider but I admire his guts and witty way with words. Anyway, Kenneth posted this little blind item a few days ago posing this question: "Which TV insider has been known to make his own headline news with these superhot nude pics of himself on the gay cruising site Manhunt.net?"
aaaaaaaaaroberts.jpgRoberts, a former CNN Headline News anchor and openly gay, started his job on "The Insider" just this week. On Thursday night, he handled the show's "Rumor Report" segment but did not mention himself! He was very charming in his segment with Judith Light (he helped her pick out a gown for the Emmys) and he also interviewed Laila Ali.
Anywho, Kenneth's blind item has quickly gathered steam with New York Magazine and the New York Post's Page Six quickly pouncing on it. The Post said "The Insider" would not confirm or deny that the man in the photos is their new anchor and a spokesperson for the show would not put them in touch with Roberts.
When we asked about the risqué online profile, the rep told Page Six, "We have hired Thomas Roberts from CNN for his journalistic strengths and integrity. It is unfortunate that after four days on the job at 'The Insider,' he has become a victim of this malicious personal attack."
On his blog today, Kenneth wonders: Since when is pointing out that someone has a hot naked body a "malicious personal attack"? You know what they say: don't shoot the messenger.

I''ve seen the pics. Wow. Amazing body. This should only help the show's ratings!

So to the gay community, closet cases have the right to privacy and should not be outed without their consent like Anderson Cooper but an openly gay have no right to privacy.

Didn't Kenneth think he could get Thomas Roberts fire from his new job by posting those photos. Thomas most likely have a moral clause in his contract and Insider could use this to fire him.

I for one will never do anything to get another person fire just for fun.

I wonder how does Kenneth Walsh feel now that Thomas Roberts will be fire over this?

It was not cool of Kenneth to post the pics when the person in question could get fire from their job. Do he know for a fact those photos are of Thomas Roberts or is he guessing. How would he like it if someone post a picture of himself nude on a blog or of someone else and claim it to be him?

Thomas Roberts came out and help the gay community but in the end someone in our community stab him in the back and leave little hope for his career.

It just sad when the religious right is united in denying our rights, we are destorying each other.

Great youtube video about this and reason why Kenneth hurt not only Thomas Roberts but the gay community also.
