He married his actress sweetheart, and the couple are two of the straightest and most uber-conservative celebs and parents around. So it pains us to inform you that he’s actually a major closet case. One of his wife’s friends spotted him in a gay bar a few nights ago. The wife was so mad that she locked him out of the house and threatened divorce. Hmmmm… ---

I really wouldn’t be surprised in the least bit if this were true. ---

Neither would I, but that “article” doesn’t even name Kirk Cameron - that’s simply the most common guess in the comments. And every other reference I’m finding on the web traces back to that blurb. ---

Admittedly I haven’t looked hard, but a casual googling uncovers no other source for this story. ---

Don’t particularly care one way or the other, but I certainly wouldn’t base my opinion on this gossip piece. ---

It doesn’t even say he was caught _doing anything_, just that he was in the building. So what? Straight people go into gay bars, too and not everyone is at a bar to pick up someone for sex. ---

The article doesn’t name Kirk Cameron, doesn’t name his wife, and says “his wife’s friend spotted him in a gay bar a few nights ago.” It’s about as reliable a source as the brown thing I just dropped into my toilet. ---

> [@RickJay](#): > > It’s about as reliable a source as the brown thing I just dropped into my toilet. Your wallet?!? Dude - you gotta fish that thing out. It may smell like shit now, but having to go and cancel all those credit cards and getting a new driver’s license is a HUGE pain in the ass. Think about how much you rely on that thing - it’s the most reliable thing I own! ---

As a gay male, Cameron doesn’t strike me as being gay in the least. I can say I worked in a hotel and he and his wife were our guest. I have NEVER met a nicer celebrity than Kirk and his wife. Chelsea Noble is also one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen. And at that hotel we had a whole bunch of “jerky celebs” but the Camerons were the nicest and classiest I’ve ever come across. Of course none of this means Kirk isn’t gay. I just thought I’d say that. People seem to think he’s a jerk 'cause he’s all religious. He’s definately not a jerk, at least in public. If it isn’t Kirk, who else would qualify? Michael J Fox married his on screen sweethart, but he’s not conservative, is he? Who else could it be? It could be an older guy too. ---

Then why did his wife lock him out of the house? I’m going to go ahead and assume it’s true, just because it’s more fun to do so. ---

> [@Skald\_the\_Rhymer](#): > > Admittedly I haven’t looked hard, but a casual googling uncovers no other source for this story. It’s a “blind item” which is very common on gossip sites, but almost always turn out to be true. They refuse to name names, partially for privacy, partially to avoid lawsuits, but they tend to paint a reasonably clear picture so you can make an educated guess. Occasionally they do reveal who it was, much later. ---

Sounds too much like wishful thinking. Besides, if Cameron were in a gay bar it’d probably be to witness. ---
