Is Salt lake City news achor Mark Koebel gay?

It is impossible to tell if someone is gay or straight unless they come out with 100% accuracy. I find your question to be quite despicable it means nothing whether he is gay or not. Realize that we are in the age of the computer and you have issued a question which could possibly ruin if not scar this man's carer. All you need to know of the man is that he is as you stated a news anchor for Salt Lake city he brings you the news and that is all there is to it. How would you like it if you suddenly became known withing say a state then something like this pops up as your surfing the web and it is about you asking if your gay! If you answer negatively then simple minded will take this as "proof" that you are gay and begin trying to ruin your carer. Alternatively if the asker happens to be gay imagine as your going along and you see some kiddies have posted on some forum things such as how you and the female news anchor are "totally going at it" as it is so often put. It isn't so important to know if everyones favorite news anchor is gay straight or bi just continue on with your daily life and click on the news while your having that nice tasty breakfast.

To the person who posted above and called the question "despicable" would you have been so uppitty if the question had read

"I trust the news anchor Mark Koebel to deliver the news in a calm and authoritative way each day. Would he be offended if I was to write to him for advice about coming out in Salt Lake City?" Not everyone can express themselves as well as you, go easy tiger cos you never know who you are upsetting.

The Great Salt Lake has salt because it as no outlet, the salt of thousands of years has flowed into the lake. As the water evaporates, it leaves the salt there and it increases in concentration.
