I sort of recall a short article about the lawsuit, where Mr. Cruise's attorney stated that the actor is not prejudiced, but that many of his fans aren't so enlightened and that such false allegations could in fact be harmful to his career. Does anyone else remember reading that? I presume his attorney made this statement in part to avoid alienating the actor's gay fans---otherwise one might just let the judge infer the obvious, as the widespread bigotry in the U.S. is not exactly a well-kept secret. -- As an anti-spam measure, my email address is only provided in a GIF file.
