Not much shocks me. Seriously...not much.This however totally threw me for a loop. Don't get me wrong I have no issue with who people spend their lives with. Who the hell am I to judge. But come on...coming out at 66 years old!!
It seems that our beloved Maj. Charles Emerson Winchester on M*A*S*H has
opened up about his sexuality.
He acted in alot of televison roles but he did not gain incredible fame until the late '70's as Maj. Charles Emerson Winchester on M*A*S*H for the latter part of the series.
He may be best known to younger folks and Disney Movie Lover's as the voice of Cogsworth in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" and the villainous Ratcliffe in "Pocahontas."
According to imdb.com, the actor just revealed his true sexuality for the first time. He was warned against telling audiences he was gay throughout his acting career, but now wants to search for a life partner.
He tells the Gossip Boy blog: "I could claim noble reasons as coming out in order to move gay rights forward, but I must admit it is for far more selfish reasons. Now is the time I wish to find someone and I do not desire to force any potential partner to live a life of extreme discretion for me."Personally, I have always loved gay men because it meant more women for me ;)
