Anderson Cooper is gay???

Mmm...Mo Rocca.

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

He needs his own show, dammit. Everything about him is hot. The lisp, the glasses, the dry sense of humor, etc. I can't believe he's almost 40.

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.

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.

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.

Let's not even get into the Vanderbilt part of it.

Oh, that would be the icing on the cake of his hunky little body. I don't even care that he looks remarkably like a bull terrier.

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

That's just the added bonus.

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'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.

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.
