Anderson Cooper reveals that he is Gay

We knew it, but now everyone does.

Anderson Cooper comes out after EW listed him as a gay celebrity. He tells Andrew Sullivan:

 There continue to be far too many incidences of bullying of young people, as well as discrimination and violence against people of all ages, based on their sexual orientation, and I believe there is value in making clear where I stand.


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.

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.

Now we know for sure. Welcome, Anderson.
