Yawn! Biggest open secret in the world.

Journalist Anderson Cooper came out as gay on Monday after keeping his sexuality private for years.

"The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be," Cooper wrote in an email that he allowed friend Andrew Sullivan to publish at The Daily Beast website. "And I couldn't be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud."

Sullivan wrote that he had asked Cooper to comment on an Entertainment Weekly story that focused on how gays in public life come out in a more restrained way than past announcements. (Remember Ellen DeGeneres' "Yep, I'm Gay" TIME magazine 1997 cover?)

2. Not sure what his political affiliation is, but he's progressive,

so maybe we can give him the benefit of the doubt...?

On edit, some sources claim he's Republican. I really have to question that. If he is, he's about the most liberal Republican in existence. But I really can't believe that he is.

3. Th article mentions Andrew Sullivan is his good friend...

So he could be...at the very least, he has shitty taste in friends.

5. Yeah, he can do so much better.

But hey, it's a free country.

6. He is someone who should never have to work a day in his life

And yet he does. Putting himself in danger to do so.

Is he successful? Yes of course.

What you do with your success is far more important than the fact that you have it or not.

4. Good for him! n/t
