Marcia Cross is not gay. Or so the report on CNN.com (this is important journalism mind you) quotes her as confirming. However, what really, really, really, really amused me was the brilliance of her statement about people’s obsession with her sexuality:

“I do think it was really weird, though, that there was all this curiosity about something, like that — about sexuality,” she said. “And I thought what a world we live in that that’s so important.”

Marcia, can I call you that? OK. Marcia, you are on Desperate Housewives which is basically a show about sexuality. People have apparently been watching it and you [the show] have won a few awards along the way for it. When you wonder why people think sexuality is so important, look at your pay stubs, that’s the answer. America is particularly obsessed with sexuality. The people don’t care if you’re gay, straight, bi, trans, tri, or any other sort of sexual as long as the information that they’re given is slightly misleading, feels edgy, naughty or graphic. If you don’t know why people wonder… it makes me wonder.
