Sharon asks…
Why hasn't Anderson Cooper come out of the closet and said he is gay?
It is so obvious that Anderson Cooper is gay. The gaydar goes off more than if Clay Aiken had walked into my living room. Why can't he just come out of the closet? Is he so afraid that announcing he is gay will ruin his career? Why can't he be true to himself? Everyone knows that if your mom is Gloria Vanderbilt and is a fashion designer, no way you don't end up gay. In addition, Cooper has never expressed any interest in women. No one has ever seen him with women. When asked if he is gay he won't admit it or deny it. Just come out Anderson already! How pathetic.

CNN fired a gay reporter after an ad on the dating site Manhunt that had naked photos of him (without showing his face) was tied to him.
That firing made it clear that CNN was uncomfortable with an openly (honestly) gay reporter, at least one with a healthy sex drive.
I'm sure Cooper took a lesson from that, as well as from MSNBC's firing of Ashley Banfield due to her criticism of the coverage of the Iraq war.
I'm sure he's concerned for his career.
We have a President who has fired hundreds of troops for being gay and whose Justice Department has submitted briefs at the Supreme Court that argue that gay people have fewer rights. This is the same President who said he "unequivocally" supports the rights of gay Americans, including marriage, in 1996 and who called DOMA "abhorrent". Just because people pretend they're not going to be aggressively anti-gay doesn't mean they won't be.
If a President who marketed himself as a "fierce advocate" (whose wife gave a speech at a fundraiser for wealthy gay donors in 2008 that included a line about a "civil rights struggle from Selma to Stonewall") can do so much damage, what's to stop a big media company from firing Cooper if he gets the scarlet letter G?
Sandy asks…
Now that Anderson Cooper has come out as gay do you think he is a good role model for gays and an example to _?
Now that Anderson Cooper has come out as gay do you think he is a good role model for gays and an example to parents who might otherwise damage their children's psyches because of their rampant homophobia?
admin answers:
He just came out? I knew he was gay like two years ago. It's so obvious.
Ken asks…
When will Anderson Cooper come out of the closet?
It's a known fact that he is gay, and yet he still refuses to publicly come out of the closet. Given his popularity in our culture, isn't he avoiding his responsibility and playing the self hate card?
I'm straight if that matters to anyone, as I'm sure I'll get some ignorant comments on this one.
admin answers:
Probably about the same time half of Congress finally admits it publicly. Don't hold your breath.
Mark asks…
Is it true Anderson Cooper of CNN came out of the closet and admitted he was gay?
If so can you provide a link?

No. He doesn't discuss personal life at all in public scene.
