Anderson Cooper: I'm Gay and Proud
People Magazine ^ | July 2, 2012 | Stephen M. Silverman

Anderson Cooper has some news to share.

"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," the CNN anchor wrote Monday in an open letter to his longtime friend Andrew Sullivan of the Daily Beast.

The host of Anderson Cooper: 360, 45, also says that he has waited until now to announce the fact because, "As long as a journalist shows fairness and honesty in his or her work, their private life shouldn't matter."

Cooper, who also hosts his own syndicated talk daytime show Anderson, addressed the subject after Sullivan – a British writer who is openly gay and Catholic – put the question to him after a cover story in the current Entertainment Weekly focused on how gay people in the public life are currently coming out in understated and matter-of-fact manners.

"Andrew, as you know, the issue you raise is one that I've thought about for years. Even though my job puts me in the public eye, I have tried to maintain some level of privacy in my life.

Does sodomy really take so much skill as to make oneself “proud”?

If he is so proud, why did he wait until now to out himself?

If you have to proclaim you are proud, in a march, in a speech, in a festival, you are anything but proud.

Homosexual Pride? If they are so proud, why do most of them wear masks?

With homosexual marriage being legal, he is now allowed to marry Rachel Maddow.

Isn't it amazing how many of the 1% are in the media?

If he’s proud of his lifestyle why did he wait so long to come out?

What shocks me is he’s only 45. He looks around 60.

I keep waiting for some Occupier to ask one of them:

You're rich, why don't you retire and let the network hire a bunch of Columbia journo grads with $200k student debts?

What is an Anderson Cooper and why should I be concerned? Just another empty headed fag.

I know a woman like that...she is mid to late 40's and stopped coloring her hair..got on a "natural look" kick and it grew out solid gray..made her look 20 years older. I was surprised to see it solid gray at that age. She is now dying it again and looks 100% better.
