Duh: Anyone who looks like Ricky is “fortunate.” And double duh: The announcement that he’s gay is about as shocking as when Sean Hayes came out on the cover of The Advocate last month. After all, Ricky has been living la vida “don’t ask, don’t tell” for a long time—sometimes there was a girlfriend; other times, Ricky was doing stretching exercises on a beach. With another guy. In a Speedo.

But let’s put the cynicism aside for a moment. Coming out—even in this day and age—takes courage, especially when you’re a public figure. And anyone who says “me too” and puts themselves out there as a role model deserves plaudits—no matter how overdue or obvious the announcement may be.

What do you think, readers? Should we be hailing Ricky for coming out? Or is this one big anti-climax?
