adrtraveller: @Charliecondou Daily Star headline 'Gay dad soap star in nude shower shock'

IT'S NO SECRET

Paper Monitor: When is a secret a secret?

When the world doesn't know something, when you don't know something or when a newspaper doesn't know something? It's the latter if the front page of today's Daily Star is anything to go by. Its headline tells of "CORRIE STAR'S SHOCK SECRET LOVE CHILDREN". The Corrie star is Charlie Condou, who plays midwife Marcus Dent. The gay actor has "secretly fathered two children with a straight girl pal", says the paper. Georgia, four, and two-year-old son Hal are being raised by their mother, actress Catherine Kanter, Condou and his partner Cameron Laux. This "secret" probably only came as a "shock" to the Daily Star's newsroom. It certainly wasn't a shock to the Guardian - Condou has been writing a weekly column for the paper about being a father for nearly two years. In "The three of us: Two dads, one mum - one family", he chronicles family life from as far back as the 20-week scan when Kanter was pregnant with Hal. He's also written about his family in several national newspapers and magazines, as well as appearing on several TV shows. But it would seem that if something isn't common knowledge in Daily Starland, then it is a secret and finding out about it is a shock...Take note Daily Star. That really is revealing a "SHOCKING SECRET".

CHARLIE, CATHERINE AND CAMERON GO DUTCH
Britse krant out acteur als homo vader in primeur, die al jaren out is met zijn kids.

by holebiinfo

De openlijke homo acteur Charlie Condou, bekend uit Coronation Street schrok zich zopas een hoedje toen hij zichzelf op de cover van de Daily Star (een Britse krant op tabloidformaat) zag staan met daarbij de tekst dat hij in het geheim twee kinderen heeft. En dan ondanks het feit dat Condou al zeer lange tijd openlijk schrijft over zijn kinderen en man. 

Foutje van de Daily Star? die blokletterde “Corrie star’s shock secret love children,” en krant ging nog verder door te schrijven dat de acteur al jaren zijn kinderen verborgen houdt en opvoed met een goede hetero vriend. Condou was erg verbaasd dit alles te lezen, zeker omdat het niet waar is. De acteur is al jaren een van de meest uitgesproken campagne voerders voor holebi ouderschap, en schrijft regelmatig in een column voor de krant The Guardian over zijn twee kinderen, zijn vriend en de moeder van de kinderen.

Nadat hij van zijn verbazing was bekomen grapte Condou dat de Daily Star er misschien achter was gekomen dat hij ergens andere kinderen had waarover hij vadertje speelde waar hij zelf niets vanaf weet. Condou heeft samen met zijn Canadese vriend Cameron Laux twee kinderen (dochter Georgia en zoon Hal) die ze samen opvoeden afwisselend met Catherine Kanter die de biologische draagmoeder is van de kinderen De acteur schrijft al lang over zijn leven in een drie gezins familie en het is dan ook raar en ergens ook wel grappig, dat de Daily Star dacht een primeur te hebben met het outen van een bekende homo vader.
