Anderson Cooper Comes Out: 'That Fact Is, I'm Gay'

Anderson Cooper has officially come out as gay.

The 45-year-old CNN host wrote a piece for his pal Andrew Sullivan‘s column for The Daily Beast.

“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,” Anderson wrote.

“I have always been very open and honest about this part of my life with my friends, my family, and my colleagues,” Anderson added. “In a perfect world, I don’t think it’s anyone else’s business, but I do think there is value in standing up and being counted. I’m not an activist, but I am a human being and I don’t give that up by being a journalist.”

Ok, I'm pretty oblivious to this stuff unless it's SUPER obvious. I had no idea lol! I always had a crush on him though, he's so handsome. Too bad!

He alluded to it the other night on the Kathy Griffin show. They were talking about him hooking up with a female celeb and he said something like "I can assure you that will never happen" and like made a smirk..Kathy looked shocked and let it go.

Good for him. Worst kept secret ever but I hope he didn't feel like he had to publicly state that he's gay, because is it really that big of a deal at this point?

Ditto, but I guess it was just a widely known fact. I think it's still good of him to come out officially, whether he needed to or not.
