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. Part of that has been for purely personal reasons. I think most people want some privacy for themselves and the people they are close to," Cooper began...

What???? Anderson Cooper is gay? Gee, next they’ll tell us that Liberace was gay.
Women who’s grandmothers swooned over Liberace just had their collectivist hearts crushed.
In other late breaking news Anderson Cooper ‘announced’ that water was WET!
So THAT’S why he gave so much coverage to the “controversy” over don’t ask, don’t tell. THAT’S why his is concerned about news items advancing same sex marriage. THAT’S why he adores the first gay president...
At least he no longer holds a double standard when it comes to “don’t ask don’t tell” being bad for the military but common practice among gay anchors and journalistas in newsrooms across the country.
The public deserves to know the reporters’ advocacy of homosexuality.
Do many reports on the rise of STDs among those in the homosexual lifestyle, do you, Anderson Pooper?
Do many reports on the health risks of abusing poppers?
Waiting for the admission he voted for Obama and would like to see him re-elected.
Or would that compromise that fairness thing?
Isn’t he the girl on CNN who once giggled like an idiot for 20 minutes ON-AIR because someone said the word “poopy”, or something like that?
2) How proud can he be when it takes him 20 years to admit it?
3) Pretty weak admission. At this point, it almost reads like a denial.
Strange way to put it.
You’re joking, right?

So proud that he had to hide it for so long, while skewing the news to fit his agenda. No, I have no specific example. Just a general guess.
Well, isn’t he a brave little Sodomite ? /sarc
What’s next, the “Anderson Cooper Marriage” CNN special from the New Yawk Colective ? Does he marry Chip or does s/he marry Troy ?
In other news, OJ killed Nicole.
If he was so proud he would have admitted it before now.
given CNN’s abysmal ratings, he was probably about to get fired.
Since he was desperate not to be fired, he play the homosexual card. Now he will claim he was fired for “being” a homosexual. He will blame viewers for staying away because he was a homosexual. etc. etc. etc.
