According to several UK tabloids, Jane Hill who is a BBC-TV midday news presenter, has come out in an article in the BBC’s in-house magazine.

Hill who is 40, revealed she has been living with her partner of one year, Sara, who is a camerawoman.

The dashing brunette is seen on BBC-1 and Channel 24.

In one article a colleague said, ”Everyone has known for years that Jane is gay.”

“She hasn’t made a secret of it at the BBC and although she has had other girlfriends over the years, this one seems to be the one”, the BBC colleague also said.

Needless to say this news has shattered many a men’s heart who watch Hill on the BBC for her news presentation and attributes.

I want you (to come out)!

According to the ‘want ads’ for MTV’s True Life series, MTV is looking for a few good gay men or women who are athletes and living in the closet.

According to the post:

Are you planning to come out to your teammates? Have you been afraid or hesitant to come out to your sports team as gay, bisexual, or transsexual but are now planning to reveal yourself? Perhaps you’ve already come out to your friends and now have to face the upcoming season with teammates who still think you’re straight? Or maybe you’re unsure of how your fellow athletes would react if they knew, and thus have not come out to anyone?

Whatever your situation may be, if you are planning to come out to your teammates and appear to be between the ages of 15 and 28, MTV wants to hear from you. Please email us at comingout@mtvn.com and be sure to include your name, location and phone number.

So, if you’re an athlete, and in the closet, perhaps you can let MTV tell your teammates for you.  After all, if you’re gonna come out, someone should make money on it…right? What do you think?  Is this good for the LBGT community or exploitation?
