Fox News anchor Shepard Smith has been trending on social media all day after confirming in a Huffington Post interview what everyone has already known for years: He’s G-A-Y gay.

Shepard was asked if former Fox Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes ever used homophobic slurs in his presence, to which the 52-year-old anchorman replied: “No, never. He treated me with respect, just respect.”

And just like that, his glass closet was shattered.
