Anderson Cooper

Several of my co-workers are pretty adamant that they never saw it coming that CNN anchor of Anderson Cooper 360° was gay. Most of us had been too busy staring in his bright baby blues to really notice anything else going on with him. But in 2010, he allowed writer Andrew Sullivan to publish an e-mail Cooper had written, which stated the following:

“I’ve begun to consider whether the unintended outcomes of maintaining my privacy outweigh personal and professional principle. It’s become clear to me that by remaining silent on certain aspects of my personal life for so long, I have given some the mistaken impression that I am trying to hide something—something that makes me uncomfortable, ashamed or even afraid. This is distressing because it is simply not true…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.”
