Thomas Roberts' appearance on Anderson Cooper 360 has led to his being profiled in the current issue of People Magazine. For those of you looking for pictures of Thomas with his partner or a discussion of his sexuality, don't rush out to your local news stand to buy a copy. The only pictures are of Thomas or of Thomas walking his dog. The article does make mention that Thomas "is in a relationship with another man", but otherwise mostly focuses on the issue of the abuse Roberts suffered at the hands of a Catholic priest.

That "in a relationship with another man" statement seems to make it rather clear that it wasn't CNN's choice to not show Roberts with his partner, but either Roberts or his partner's decision. Perhaps his partner isn't out or just doesn't want to be in the limelight. He wouldn't be the first person involved with someone famous who didn't want their picture splashed across magazines. At least the article does mention Roberts is involved with a man, but it is another missed opportunity to show a happy, gay couple. (BTW, that pic isn't from People. I found it over on Kenneth in the 212!
