Anderson Cooper is gay???
 
Dissention will love this.. :laugh:

Not sure if this is public knowledge or not, but my friend just emailed me something interesting about Anderson Cooper.. apparently he hangs out in several gay bars in New York City... i've never personally seen him, but my friend has and apparently he goes out quite a bit....

here are some people (famous and not so famous) that i have seen out in the New York City gay club scene thus far:


Boy George
Graham Norton (British Comedian)
Jay Rodriguez (from "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy")
Carson Kressley (from "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy")
Tuc Watkins (David Vickers from "One Life To Live")
the Professor from "The Real Gilligans Island"
3 different guys from "Boy Meets Boy"
Mo Rocca (former "Daily Show" correspondant)
Jocelyn Wildenstein (the plastic surgery lady who wants to look like a cat)


.. although i tell you, i personally wouldnt mind bumping into Anderson Cooper at one of these clubs as well.. very sexy man he is :nod:

:wavey:

Oh yeah he is :nod:
My gay-dar hasn't been wrong yet.
My step brother ran into Tom Cruise at a gay bar before. In 20 years I've never know him to fib, there for feel free add "ass grabber" to Mr. Cruises list of credentials. :thumbsup:

I absolutely cannot believe that either Carson Kressley and Boy George are gay. My gaydar registered at -100 on those 2. :p

markolas 09-21-2005 08:39 AM

Mmm...Mo Rocca.

And yes, Anderson Cooper is gay. He refuses to admit it, but that doesn't make it any less true. :shrug:

Anderson's a total Mary. He did a show on gay families last year and got into an on-air tussle with that wet fart of a human turd Jerry Falwell, and he let it slip by saying "we pay taxes." CNN edited the transcript to say "they." :laugh: Supposedly, he went to the GLAAD awards and announced that he was looking for a boyfriend (direct him to me, peeps) and he got furious when Michael Musto printed it in his column.

And I? Love Mo Rocca. LOVE him.

I don't blame him. Why would he want to be stigmatized as the "gay anchor"? If I were him, I'd hate to have people tune in just to point at my perfectly coiffed hair or sense of fashion and say "Look at the gay anchor" instead of paying attention to what I'm reporting and actually doing on the show.

If he feels conflicted, though, I offer my services to help comfort him. :laugh:

It doesn't sound like he's trying to hide it to me. Maybe his bosses asked him to keep it on the down-low and not make an official "statement" on that matter - indeed I bet it was probably their decision to edit that transcript. So yeah, he's not going to have a press release saying "I am gay" but if he's going to public events and places such as GLAAD and gay bars he's obviously OK with people knowing.

I'd loooove to meet Graham Norton! I think he's hilarious. In an annoying kinda way. :nod:

The only celebs I've seen out are:
Jai Rodriguez
Ian McKellan (who happened to be wearing something out of Gandalf's closet).
One of the losers from Boy Meets Boy. (He was bartending at a club in West Hollywood.)

I bumped into Mo 2 years ago at this bar called "G".. i recognized him right away and i started to stare at him... he took it as me checking him out (which was FINE by me ;) ) and we started to chat.. then his annoying friend came over to him and my annoying friend came over to me and interupted the whole thing.. but we did lock eyes a few times that night.. I really wish i had been more aggressive with him at the time :nod:

believe it or not, she actually doesn't look as freeky in person as this picture would indicate... perhaps the surgery is settling? :shrug:

I wouldn't say hot, but then I'm not really attracted to "hot." He's cute & dorky, which is what I really go for. :D

I dunno...people who refuse to say they're gay annoy the hell out of me. I can't imagine being in a relationship with someone like that.

He's attractive, but he's too much of a pretty boy for my taste. Mo Rocca is definitely more my type.

I'm sure it was their decision. But, me and a job like that wouldn't last two seconds. He doesn't have to have a press release, but I'm sure he's had plenty of opportunities to mention it, and yet hasn't.

It's no secret that he's queer, I just don't understand why he has to publicly state his sexuality. :shrug: If he was trying to hide it, he wouldn't be out and about with other guys, going to gay clubs, and attending Scissor Sisters concerts. I don't think he has to come right out and say "Yes, I like dudes." Straight anchors don't give interviews proclaiming their heterosexual preferences.

No, but they don't go out of their way to dodge the question, either.

That's because they aren't asked the question.

You're the missing the point. Why is he being asked the question? What does it have to do with his show and career as a reporter? No one would interview Aaron Brown or Leslie Blitzer and ask them if they prefer men or women. He isn't Tom Cruise, he hasn't built a career on tickling the twats of women all over the world and then gone to great lengths to cover up his true sexuality. I see no reason why it's not perfectly fine for him to avoid answering such a personal question when giving a true answer would stigmatize him. If he wants to tell us who he prefers to screw, that's fine, and if he doesn't want to, that's also fine.

Because the more celebrities and people who are in the public eye answer the question to reinforce the concept that there is nothing wrong with being gay, the more the idea that being gay is a stigma will go away.

Believe it or not, the gay community still desperately needs trailblazers to alter the red state mentality on gays. Keep up the pressure for the change to come.

Meh. I guess I just don't see it that way.

Is he gay? I had that sucker pegged ten years ago. I mean, c'mon, his love interest on that **** show has been Robin Strasser for a decade. That's enough to turn any man into a Mary.

No matter how hot you are (and you are :xoxo: ) - Diss. will never go for it if he does not like the fabric. So, send him a swatch. Moreover, I can assure you the tassles will have to be removed :laugh:

I have seen him more than once in person and do not think he is attractive, though his eyes are gloriously lambent. Lapis lazuli anyone :eek:
