Andrew Sullivan posted an email from Anderson Cooper in which he talks about being gay and his reasons for not going public with it before, and if nothing else it is a thoughtful and well-written letter on the subject, so there you go.

Nothing to say except bravo, Mr. Cooper.
Now all of the well-meaning people who were saying he should come out of the closet can be replaced by ill-wishing bigots who will complain that he’s rubbing our faces in it.
That was a great letter. Good on you, A-Coop, and nolite te bastardes carborundorum
Good day for aficionados of “duh”.
I was really happy about this (in the way that I’m happy he can be who he is etc. etc.) until I read this actual quote from Nick Denton on Gawker’s site:
Um, no.
That guy is awful. Gawker is awful. So shrill. So histrionic. So unjustifiably self-important.
The Anti-Videogum.
Also: when you namedrop/humblebrag, don’t then backhand the name you’re dropping.
I don’t care about his sexual orientation but I will never let people forget that he once hosted The Mole.
The Mole was a great show
I enjoyed the show, but the hidden clues for Season 1 were a joke. It was like: “There are seven letters in *spoiler alert* Kathryn, just like there are seven letters in ‘The Mole.’” GREAT CLUES, ABC.
I fucking loved The Mole.
This just puts pressure on me from my mother to marry well now that rich homosexuals are coming out. Can’t you find someone like Anderson Cooper, she’ll say.
