Anderson Cooper is reportedly preparing to marry his long-term boyfriend - and the nuptials could take place as soon as Labor Day.
It comes just weeks after the CNN news anchor spoke publicly about his sexuality for the first time, saying: 'The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn't be more happy.'
Cooper, 45, is now planning to marry his boyfriend Ben Maisani, whom he has been dating since at least 2009, in New York City later this year, the National Enquirer reported.
'He'd been considering breaking the news [about being gay] since same-sex marriage became legal in the state of New York last summer,' a source told the Enquirer.
'It's been about a year now and he wants to get married to Ben. They're totally committed to one another.'
French-born Maisani, 39, lives with Cooper in his converted fire station townhouse and together they enjoy a low-key lifestyle - workouts at Chelsea's David Barton Gym and dinners with friends, including Kelly Ripa, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick.

-FABULOUS-
Maybe Barney Frank will be his best it.
Congratulations, Dengar01!
America has fallen very far, in just 50 short years.
Oh for goodness sakes!!! WHY ON EARTH DO THEY HAVE TO PUT THIS SH!T IN OUR FACE????
Sorry for the curse, but sometimes I just MUST! They are ticking me off more and more. How much can a simple human take?
Lord......You cannot come back quick enough. Please save us. I would be happy to die for You, even though I really really want to live, just to slay Your enemies.
Through your Son, Jesus Christ, Amen.
Well, isn’t that just so special. Who teabags first?
I called it. This is all about ratings.
Sweeps Week special. “Anderson Cooper: My Big Fat Gay Wedding”
Excuse me while I go puke. I am sooo sick of all this queer sh*t being thrown in our faces.
How very clever of the media to give us another gay monitor just before he comes out of the closet. I will NEVER watch the show.
After he was outed years ago by the media....no wait.. he's one of them!!
Is Anderson on the bridal registry at Tiffany?
well isn’t that precious.
I’ve never watched him read the news, as it were, but I did read some quotes from him about how unbiased the news should be. Whether or not he agrees with it, it should be presented as-is. Anyone know if he lives up to that claim? I seem to recall a clip of him really taking it to some dem on his 360 show. Of course being out-n-proud will make him a prime candidate for the gays to label a gay-traitor if he steps out of line by being honest with the news.

Also, regarding the new donate-button bumper sticker “Our ancestors left Europe to get away from this crap —> 0” — it’s pretty reductive.
I like to think my ancestors came here (mid-1600s) for adventure and opportunity, then stayed to build a great country that stupid, mis-guided people have subsequently tried to destroy. I understand America-as-refuge rhetoric, and it’s very true. But America-as-refuge rhetoric is friendlier to statist ideas than the founders’ emphasis on freedom is. America-as-refuge should call to mind the proud, hard-working, newly minted American living the American dream. But that’s lost as immigration moves from a grainy Ellis Island photo to video of ragged people squeezing through/under a vandalized chain-link fence.
From your Lips to G-Ds ears Sister!
from the article, “...his boyfriend Ben Maisani, whom he has been dating since at least 2009...”
Queers do not “date”. They have perverted relationships that turn the stomachs of healthy people. Faggots cannot enter real marriage no matter what any edict may state. They cannot produce their own natural biological children and should have no rights for the adoption of any children.
I suppose we are all expected to be happy for the adorable couple. Too bad he can’t keep his personal lifestyle, opinions, and viewpoints to himself, though.
This is the new norm at CNN. I am sure others have the same reaction that I do whenever I accidently click on CNN....that this is not a news network...it is a gay oriented, liberal slanted, brain washing network that does not speak to or reflect the values of the average American.
Anderson’s viewpoints and opinions are no longer hidden. At least one other “newscaster” ..... who is also obviously gay ..... pushes his viewpoints constantly. It is no longer a pure news network, and I don’t think this was Ted Turner’s original intent. It is a turnoff for most Americans and we are doing just that. We are turning it off.
