Yes folks, Brendan has come out of the closet. You knew this day was coming. We all had our suspicions and had seen the hints–the goofy grins, the obsession with gay marriage, the girly-boy voice he uses when he’s in trouble with Becky–but now it’s official. The more recent signs pointing to this event were the Boi From Troy interview, the double entendre about boinking when talking about Boi, and finally, the rainbow that will “be on the top of the homepage for a while”–presumably in celebration of Brendan’s newfound openness about his gayness.

Brendan confirmed this to me on Thursday when I was visiting him while I was in Phoenix for business, and he even tried to come on to me, but I resisted. Nevertheless, he begged me to withhold the news “which has been known to Boi and me [Andrew], but kept secret from our audiences, for over a week.” I agreed, but only on the condition that he let me TEST HIS NEW GUEST BLOGGING FEATURE.

I repeat, this is JUST A TEST.

And no, Brendan’s not really gay; the engagement was real and not just a cover story (and trust me, I know all about cover stories!).
