Anderson Cooper: 'The fact is, I'm gay'

Anderson Cooper, who has been reluctant to talk about his personal life in public, revealed that he is gay in an essay posted online on Monday.
The CNN journalist said he had kept his sexual orientation private for personal and professional reasons, but came to think that remaining silent had given some people a mistaken impression that he was ashamed.
"The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn't be any more happy, comfortable with myself and proud," he wrote in a letter to Andrew Sullivan of the Daily Beast.
Cooper, the son of Gloria Vanderbilt, had long been the subject of rumors about his sexual orientation. He said that in a perfect world, it wouldn't be anyone's business, but that there is value in "standing up and being counted."
"I still consider myself a reserved person and I hope this doesn't mean an end to a small amount of personal space," he wrote. "But I do think visibility is important, more important than preserving my reporter's shield of privacy."

So will he be the man or the woman at his wedding? I still like the original plan. The parts fit. I’ll see it again, but not on this dirt.

Why are these people “proud” of the vile ways in which they utilize their body plumbing? And demand special recognition & privilege because of that disgusting usage?
So, he is the fag offspring of a jetsetting socialite? Isn’t this sort of thing rather common among the “beautiful people”?

heterosexuals are not welcome in the new world order. Unless you are a homosexual, you are nothing! Down with 1 man 1 woman! Up with deviancy of all types. Bring out the angels of the most High that we may know them!

Don’t care and I don’t want to know.

It’s CNN. He could go on live with the boyfriend and PROVE that he’s gay, and still no one would care.
To: Justaham
NOT Breaking News. Pretty obvious. Who cares?
