Anderson Cooper 360

I don't understand why people are always talking about Anderson Cooper being gay like he's going out of his way to hide it. It's like Clay Aiken said in an interview (which really speaks to my news citations), "It's like when I was 8. I remember something would get broken in the house, and Mom and Dad would call me in and say, 'Did you do this?' Well, it didn't matter what I said. The only thing they would believe was yes. … People are going to believe what they want." They way I took that comment, after reading some subtext was, yes, of course clay broke it, so why would you even ask?

Yes, of course Anderson Cooper is gay, but don't try to act all indignant because he's not marching in any parades. Don't feel all betrayed because he's not some giant screaming queen on CNN. During the caucus coverage on CNN no one will deny that he did a fantastic job. He did his job as a news anchor. Would you feel better if he was all "Oh girl, Hillary took another state! Three snaps for that political bitch! Uh-Uh, and UH! *snaps in a Z formation*." Did we see Anderson Cooper at the Kathy Griffin show in New York? Yes. Does he work out at the gayest gym in the city? Yup.

Does it bother you that he's not out as a rolemodel? Is that the problem here, that's he's not on the cover of Out Magazine talking about his confused adolescense? Because it seems to me like he's already an amazing role model. If you need him to come out and say "yep, I'm gay" then that's like saying you'll start building that house as soon as someone gives you 200,000 bricks. Shit, get off Anderson Cooper's tip.

"... and leave Britney alone!"
