People are so excited that there is a high-quality gay newscast. Our very existence gives validity to the idea of gay news.

We don't want to be the 700 Club of gay news. The audience wants us to be credible. There are plenty of other outlets out there doing advocacy coverage.

If people think I am gay, yeah, hey that doesn't bother me. Not at all. What would people think? To me I am such a heterosexual guy. It doesn't even, I don't even think about it.

I don't think that CBS has chosen sides in the culture war by doing this. I think they all recognize gay people as part of a diverse newsroom.

If we don't do our jobs right, we could be damaging the CBS News brand. We want to make sure that it's as good as anything else CBS News would put out there.

They absolutely have an expertise in advertising to people who are targeting gay and lesbian viewers.
