(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); In a little bit of news that shocked myself and my brother, Anderson Cooper, famous for his broadcasting career with multiple television stations, has revealed that he is gay.

Reporter Andrew Sullivan, who is working on a story about the the impact of gay celebrities on society, contacted Anderson on his views of the subject. What the TheDailyBeast writer was not expecting, was Anderson to reveal his homosexuality.

Cooper states:
"There continue to be far too many incidences of bullying of young people, as well as discrimination and violence against people of all ages, based on their sexual orientation, and I believe there is value in making clear where I stand,"

"The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn’t be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud"

This is personally shocking to me, as I would have never pinned Anderson as gay.

What are your thoughts on the matter? Would you have ever suspected he was gay? Now knowing he is, how does it affect your opinion of him and his reporting career?

I understand that posting this story will most likely open a can of gay hating worms. Regardless, I have posted it in order to determine the MATURE and WELL FORMED opinions of other members here. Flame if you want, but it will be ignored by myself.

Still a cool guy in book, really liked him as the host of "The Mole". It's a shame it only had 2 seasons it was probably my favorite reality TV show.

Agreed. Regardless of orientation, he is still a great tv personality.

I was gonna post this but knowing the community, I know Gizmo and the likes will just troll the thread.

He is a great TV personality and I always catch myself watching AC:360 But In my Opinion he should have come out years ago.

I have heard his name before, and looked at his picture. Still don't know who he is, but I don't watch tv that much.

:lol: Whilst I would have preferred a serious response, I do enjoy this picture.

I'm anti-gay, so I can't be too serious without being a total tool.

I thought this was old news. I knew he was gay for a long time. Maybe he just never officially came out of the closet. Bet he does a report now on officially coming out of the closet.

I have to agree with Sexy Solo...

The fact is, I'm straight, always have been, always will be, and I couldn’t be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud. But other than that Anderson Cooper is still a cool guy just like NPH.
