News Anchors in Los Angeles who are gay...

Who is gay in LA? I'm watching RHOBH and Rob Kovacik is on the episode. Always wondered if he was gay - he does have gay face and pings.

Also, what ever happened to Rick Garcia on Channel 2 news?? I had a mad crush on him - did he get fired for sexual mis-conduct???

there's that one dark haired hottie on KTLA Channel 5; he's big and seems sweet.

OP. I went to Brown w Robert Kovacik and know him very well. I don't know what his status is publicly.

R1 hmmmm Mark Mester. If so, he's straight.

I always got a gay vibe from NBC's Michael Brownlee, so I was surprised to learn he has a wife and kids. But of course, that isn't saying much.

Rick Garcia was put on indefinite suspension in 2018, and hasn't been brought back since. He's probably as good as fired.

R8 - we haven't even gotten one yet.

R12 - that was a shocker for me. I always liked him a lot and thought he did a fantastic job as a news anchor.

There was a weather guy I think on Ch 4 news during the day. He is a Latino and so fucking cute! Big ears. He was getting fat but still cute. He disappeared.

I think the only one I know for sure is Juan Fernandez.

Could the guy in the OP possibly look more obvious? Yikes.

Fernandez was a slut and broke many straight marriages at his tv station.

I gave a handjob to Rick Lozano once. I’m male.

How big was his penis, r20?

The guy in the OP looks like a real queer.

L. Der Gay edition:

Hosea Sanders (now in Chicago) had a girlfriend but was on the down-low when he was at KCBS.

Phil Shuman approached me in public once to bum a smoke and was very chatty and intense in the way small guys sometimes are. I thought at first it was a pickup but decided he was just a straight guy with a lot of sex energy.

Jane Velez-Mitchell was always a lesbian but didn't come out until she was off KCAL.

This was all in the 1980s and 1990s.

A friend of mine claimed he saw an older-era KABC reporter at the North Hollywood Spa (bathhouse.) I can't remember his name -- cute, had a mustache, did human interest stories.

by Anonymousreply 25June 3, 2019 1:04 AM

A friend of mine used to see Tony McEwing at the baths or a sex club (couldn't remember which).

by Anonymousreply 26June 3, 2019 1:24 AM

Thanks...still curious on the dirt about Rick Garcia. Someone has to work at KCBS or KCal 9.

Hosea Saunders is gayer than Gayee McGayerson. He's been on "sick leave" AKA DRUG REHAB more times than Dorothy Kilgallen

by Anonymousreply 29June 3, 2019 1:38 AM

Tony McEwing had (has?) an incredible body, but he comes off as super-fundie. He used to appear in those holiday pageants at the Crystal Cathedral.

by Anonymousreply 30June 3, 2019 1:54 AM

KTLA's Kirk Hawkins is gay, and his partner (husband?) is a newscaster on rival KCAL, Channel 9. I can't remember his name, as I seldom watch KCAL news.

R31, Peter Daut.

Yeah, that's it. Thank you, R32.

Daut was let go, according to FTVLive. The way he learned it, according to that site, is pretty messed up.

I've heard whispers and rumors about Rob Fukuzaki.

R12 Are you Mr Fister?

by Anonymousreply 36June 3, 2019 8:38 AM

I don't know anything about Rick Garcia, but his twitter account seems totally straight. Still very active and much discussion of sports.

I've hear the same R35. A co-worker, years back, went on a date with him and he wanted to go to The Rage - that was hardly even a mixed bar at that time. The went out a couple times but she thought it was quite odd.

R37, yeah, I'm pretty sure he is straight. Just wanted to know what actually took him off the air.

I wish! That guy is hot as fuck in person! I saw him a long time ago on a date with a hot white chick. Now he's fat.

OK, I remembered the guy I referenced in R25: Ric Romero. He used to be a flight attendant, if that helps.

I've been noticing Melvin Robert on Spectrum Cable's local Los Angeles news channel (Spectrum1) over the last few months. He's not just really good at his job, but quite handsome.

I finally did some searching on him and found that he performed a solo with the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles in back in 2018.

I always wondered about Rob Schmidt. Used to be on CBS2, then fox in new york, and now Newsmax.

The pictures on this IG are almost always with dudes.

He's half Persian so I love that swarthy look.

When he was a reporter at Florida he had a mugshot and he was arrested for domestic violence. They never specified whether the victim was male or female.

Anyone know anything about Enrique Chiabra at Telemundo 52. He's 34, graduated from UCLA in 2009, started at the Univision-Entravision station (KVER) out in Palm Springs. He's now with the Los Angeles Telemundo affiliate (KVEA).
