There are always exceptions to every rule. Ellen certainly has turned around her career with her very successful talk show (it seemed like for a while there she had committed career suicide by outing herself). I wish there were more positive, sane, successful gay icons like her. Let's hope she's opening that door for others to slip in behind her .

And I don't think we can lump Anderson Cooper into this group just yet... to my knowledge, he's never publicly and officially said the words "I'm gay" (though he has publicly eluded to it, and it's pretty much an open "secret").
