Rumor: "Anderson Cooper may come out on live TV" and some criticism/discussion of the idea...

I don't see an issue with this. David Badash has a negative opinion of it though,

If You're Gay, Anderson Cooper, Please Don't Use Sweeps Week To Come Out
by David Badash on December 15, 2011



Anderson Cooper, the highly-​successful CNN anchor and now host of two shows on the formerly-​pioneering cable news network, has long been thought to be gay. Rumors surround Cooper and the man many believe to be his same-​sex partner, Benjamin Maisani. But now Gawker’s Brian Moylan is reporting that Cooper may be paving the way to come out publicly, and step one — according to Moylan, who often writes about LGBT-​related issues at Gawker — is happening today.

Moylan writes that a “tipster” is alleging that Anderson Cooper’s show Anderson “is prepping Anderson’s big coming out episode for February sweeps.”

Here’s what the tipster had to say.

Daytime talk show “Anderson” is having their first Christmas party tomorrow night, 15 December, at the Russian Tea Room. Anderson Cooper is bringing Benjamin Maisani. And introducing him as his “boyfriend” to the staff. The staff is prepping Anderson’s “coming out” show for the next sweeps. Check the ratings. They’re getting desperate.
