CNN’s Don Lemon, who last year stunned audiences when he said he was molested as a child, has revealed he is gay.
Lemon, 45, has a new memoir coming out called “Transparent.” He told Bill Carter of the New York Times of the inherent risks of coming out as a news personality.

“Anderson Cooper...the clock is ticking.”
Oh please, Cooper bought an old firehouse in NYC and thought it came with the firemen.

I used to think that being molested in this way almost always resulted in a deep narcissisitc shallow personality with anti-social tendenices and delusions of grandeur.
But look at Obama - he was molested as a child, and he turned out fine.
(inserting evill laugh)
Exactly, truly sad. They say they are gay, my guess is they are anything but.
Is there anyone at CNN who is NOT gay?
Is there a gay person in this world that thinks it is none of my damned business who they sleep with?
Is there a way, once something has be learned, it can be unlearned?
Why is it getting hotter and where are we going in this handbasket?
Over and over again I hear it. Yet if you make that connection in public you are shunned by the establishment.
Molestation by a pedophile, gender confusion as an adult.
It’s a disorder caused by emotional trauma. Our culture in so many ways is more intelligent than it used to be. A hundred years ago no one would doubt it. Now those who believe that wouldn’t dare say it. That would imply homosexuality is a disorder, and they can’t have that.
“Exactly, truly sad. They say they are gay, my guess is they are anything but.”
I guess it’s clear now why Don Lemon likes that you used the word ‘but’!
and yet the demanders of deviancy want access to children.
And we're supposed to believe that homosexuality isn't a pathology?
Why is it compassionate to want to help those suffering from depression, alcoholism, etc. but to deny and demonize help and treatment for those suffering from homosexuality?
The sad thing is that the vast majority of self-proclaimed homosexuals have had some form of traumatic sexual abuse in their childhood. How long are we going to allow the homosexual community to suppress this fact? I feel very sad when I consider the plight of sexually abused children who come out gay. I suppose it is to be expected that traumatic sexual abuse will damage the sexual psyche. But to declare this deviant behavior as normal, or genetic is the greatest sham since global warming. Homosexuals don’t need acceptance, they need healing.
I wonder if Mr. Lemon has Led Zeppelin II in his collection. /sarc.
Guess that’s why CNN’s weekend ratings is about 4%.
I thought Anderson came out last year, bought the firehouse with his boyfriend and they wanted to adopt a haiti baby or something like that.
I don’t recognize the names of any of these people and I don’t watch CNN.
Consider myself lucky!!
Man, he’s got everything according to todays standards. He is totally PC. He’s gay and he’s black! I’m straight and white - I’m screwed;)
Better question: Is there any anchor over there who’s not?
Thanks Don! You had me worried for a minute and I’ve never even heard of you. Now, back to obscurity you go.
A.) it is not lost on me that Rodney Ho drew the assignment on this story.
B.) what would really be news is if Jason Carroll announced he was NOT gay.
