This should be retitled as "Anderson Cooper is 45 years old" - I was shocked by that!

He wasn't on the "down low", or in the closet, or keeping anything a secret necessarily.

He just simply never commented on his private life one way or another.



I have always been very open and honest about this part of my life with my friends, my family, and my colleagues. 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.

I feel bad that he "HAD" to discuss his business with everyone. But love the way he explained it all anyway.

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

My understanding is he never meant it to be a secret, but just like straight celebrities don't announce their heterosexuality to the public, he didn't feel that he had to announce his sexual orientation. However, I totally agree with everything said in this article, and while he SHOULDN'T have to announce it, unfortunately we're still in a place where him doing so can help young people struggling and can help bring positive attention and provide role models, so I'm glad he did!
