Out magazine features a funny and very cute first-person account of one man's experience as a guest on "Your World with Neil Cavuto" on Fox News Channel. Garth Wingfield, booked on "Your World" to talk about personal training, asks, "What happens when a nice gay guy gets to show off his muscles on a conservative news station?"
