 The unfortunate thing about being outed by your coworker's public gay slurs is that when you start going out with someone half your age, everybody knows about it, you're bound to be ridiculed, and you're fair game for even more homophobic moral posturing. Widely reported by blogs earlier this month, the story of Grey's Anatomy star T.R. Knight's debut of his blossoming relationship with a barely legal co-ed is now being sensationalized on a tabloid newsstand near you, as evidenced by the Enquirer image to the left. Scandal! Boyfriend Mark Cornelson is only 19 and Knight is 34!
Intrigue! Cornelson has no money after being ousted by his family and pays for his tuition with "odd jobs" (is that what these youngsters are calling them these days?). Betrayal! Knight was allegedly dating someone closer to his age when he met Cornelson through the Matthew Shepard Foundation and decided to ditch the geezer to score some twink action.
However, while Sarah Larson, the former cocktail waitress who's now dating George Clooney and is close to 20 years his junior, is being applauded as the luckiest woman alive, Cornelson (14 years younger than his gravy train new love) is raising eyebrows among the press, who are officially referring to them as a "Gay-December romance." While Cornelson seems to lack the beguiling exuberance of, say, a Tory Mason, he has been recognized for his scholastic achievements by the foundation so we'll refrain from being too hard on the boy. We'll let someone who hasn't made it with somebody half-or twice-their age cast the first stone while we keep waiting for our own scandalous relationship of financial convenience to materialize. As far as we're concerned, this smug, skanky, little teenage gold digger is our hero!
