Getting It Right: Jim Parsons Comes Out

Jim Parsons is gay, and we know this due to an incredibly dry biography.  He has been in a ten-year relationship, which was also delivered with no emphasis whatsoever.

And that's how it should be.  It means we are moving towards a time when it's just a fact, not circus tickets.  He is not a poster child to be forced into talking about his personal life, and he is not subject to approval.  He's the same awesome guy who made the character Sheldon Cooper come to life like nobody else could.  He is no more and no less talented than he was last week, but in the eyes of some, this will diminish him.  That is a sad reminder that some folks just aren't ready to grow up.

I still love my Shelly Bean, and I imagine most of you do, too.
