Happy Silver Fox Coming Out Day, Everyone!
The line I've been waiting to hear from Anderson Cooper ever since my irises turned into silver hearts while watching him on Channel One in junior high school homeroom has finally leaped off of his tongue. Actually, let me correct that. The line I've been waiting to hear is: "Michael, here's a one-way ticket to my fox hole, just for you." So is the second most important line I've been waiting to hear.
The Daily Beast's Andrew Sullivan asked Andy Coo about his thoughts on Entertainment Weekly's story about famous gay people subtly coming out without a parade or a People magazine cover. The Silver Fox said the words "I'm gay" and explained why he hasn't totally sashayed out of the glass closet before. I just want to let it be known that it's really hard to type while a tidal wave of puckers takes over my body:
I’ve also been reminded recently that while as a society we are moving toward greater inclusion and equality for all people, the tide of history only advances when people make themselves fully visible. 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.
I have always been very open and honest about this part of my life with my friends, my family, and my colleagues. In a perfect world, I don't think it's anyone else's business, but I do think there is value in standing up and being counted. I’m not an activist, but I am a human being and I don't give that up by being a journalist.
And he goes on:
In my opinion, the ability to love another person is one of God’s greatest gifts, and I thank God every day for enabling me to give and share love with the people in my life. I appreciate your asking me to weigh in on this, and I would be happy for you to share my thoughts with your readers. I still consider myself a reserved person and I hope this doesn’t mean an end to a small amount of personal space. But I do think visibility is important, more important than preserving my reporter’s shield of privacy.
Yes, I hoped Anderson would come out this July 4th by painting the words "I PROUDLY LOVE PEEN" on his naked body in silver glitter paint before shooting himself out of a cannon over the Hudson while white fireworks spell out the message "THE WORLD CAN END NOW" in the night sky, but I'll take this.
Happy Silver Fox Coming Out Day, everyone! Let's all join hands and skip through the forest as baby silver foxes giggle together in happiness!

Since the ratings of this boring dishonest propagandist's tv show are so low, this is a smart move and he can whine about bigotry being the cause of them replacing him with a normal fucked up person.

Ha! I was thinking the same thing...his talk show is tanking, he pretends to be a "real journalist" but does nothing but fluff pieces.
Plus I can't for the life of me understand how ANYONE finds him attractive, he has the face of a rat. Beady eyes and long nose, ew.

Yippeee! Congratulations, Mr. Cooper! It's about time! So proud of you. Congratulations to you too, MK!
Way to go, Andy!!

I'll join the club of d-listers who immediately thought of Michael!
Good for you, Anderson, someone like you who is in the public eye, doing an outstanding job, will make life a little easier for the young gay kids who are being bullied.
I, too, thought of Michael K. My son told me the Anderson announcement and the first thing I said was "I gotta see what Michael K. thinks!!" My husband looked at me suspiciously and said "Who the fuck is Michael K?" I told him he had nothing to worry about! Love ya Michael K!
Of course it was obvious, but im still proud of him for actually saying the words, it cant be easy...
And why do people hate on him? Is it because he comes from a rich family?... Cause i think hes a good journalist!

Soott, two things:
"but smarter, prettier and better-dressed". I'm hoping this is a joke.
and
"I don't think God gives us the ability to love. I believe that God (the essence of life) IS love". God is irrelevant since it refuses to provide evidence of its existence.
I couldn't post on here today at work when I read the story, but MK got love on the cnn.com comments from me!
*******************************
"In olden times we would've thrown people like that off of a cliff, and called it a day."
I wish it were irrelevant. And I know why he did it, but I also understand why he didn't do it. It should be a world in which we think "who cares which orifice he sticks it into?"
(kiss this)--------------------------->>> (_!_)
I don't like him but I'm proud of Anderson Cooper for fiiiiinalllllyyyy coming out publicly. This is seriously an important public announcement since Anderson is very well-known and widely respected. Bigots will still be bigots but I know that countless people just realized that not all gay people are the stuff of stereotypes and we're just like everyone else.....but smarter, prettier and better-dressed :=) I especially love his statement about having the ability to love, except I don't think God gives us the ability to love. I believe that God (the essence of life) IS love. Good for you, Andy Coop!!
Congrats Cooper!!! This is the year of BE YOURSELF! Let's hope we can keep this up for the rest of the year.

Congrats, MK!

As soon as I heard the news, I thought of you, MK. Oh happy day!

No escapin' when I start
Once I'm in, I own your heart.
Umm I'm not sure where you're going with the tomato juice thing because you can clearly see people throwing rocks in the video and hear gunshots. You can also see the boy's legs buckle, at which point Anderson picks him up and carries him.
Cooper comes from a rich background and faked his own press pass to get into an area with action so he could do some real journalism, even with no formal background in journalism. He wants to be involved instead of just sitting on his throne, throwing money at causes from afar. People could learn a thing or two from him so it irritates me when people shit all over him.
The surprise of my lifetime just took place whilst I was licking my lips looking at that smouldering bixch wink back at me on CNN…
A secret wider than the Grand Canyon, a secret every confused school boy hadn’t quite figured out, a secret that every leotard wearing doorman the world over had to wonder deep inside was true…
I will love you Anderson, straight, gay, bent or just in denial.

Well, I think he's attractive - but I lost a lot of respect when he covered a child in tomato-juice and knocked him down to pretend he was deadly hurt and needed his help - the kid didn't even know what was going on.
Also, there is no god. We're made out of molecules and carry on genes which were the best to survive. Sometimes something like Breivik comes out, but people like him were killed by an angry mob before all of us became politically correct.
But since "we're" that intelligent, we're getting rid of evolution anyways, I think that's something I don't want to witness: seeing "brave new world" coming true.

Is that before or after you're done taking issue with his belief in God and constant praises and thanks to Him? Or is it just OK to believe in God when you say so? *scratches head*

MK and the Coop! Now there's a marriage I would totally hop on a plane for, and I'm terrified of flying.

Who are you calling silly cow?
I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt, but perhaps he seized the opportunity to come out now that there is a bigger gossip story that will swallow up his announcement before it can make an apparently negative dent in his ~image~

I was thinking this... "Is there anyone, male or female, who came out, and we didn't already know it?" I come up with nada.
It's always either someone we already know is gay or someone we've never even heard of and do not give a fuck about
Wake me up when Chuck Norris comes out, I mean.
So who's next? James Franco or Jake Gyllenhaal?
I only give a shit about this because it makes MK happy. Least i can do for years of laughs is throw up my jazz hands for AC lovin peen.

Well put Silver Fox, knew you'd baby steps your way there! Good for AC!
MK, Andy will be covering his naked body with silver glitter paint on the 4th of July, he says you'll know where! *whispers* Don't forget the honey and feathers! HAHHAHA

He's a journalist? He's a fluffy human-interest morning-show news type. It'd be funny if he did this because some cabaña-boy scandal is about to break.
GASP! Please call 911. I cannot breath. I've fallen and I can't get up! And to think I was going to hire a PI to follow the Silver Fox so I could get close to him. My heart is broken into a million pieces. My consolation is that Tom Cruise is free!
Im so proud of you Anderson !
Just be your beautiful self !

I like what he said about personal space - it's a warning, horz - let's not be humpin on him when we see him!

Too late for MK I am afraid. And he has the restraining order to prove it.
But surely AnderCoo will have the restraining order lifted for the wedding, no?
I was gone all day, but as soon as I saw this on my yahoo page, I knew I had to come here and congrat Mk!

yes, this sandwich bitch is 28 and openly telling you all my age
Most people here are double your age.
Although this wasn't a necessity for me...I'm glad AC did this interview and made the "declaration" of obvious sauce. It helps the entire truth movement. As a hetrosexual (open minded and tolerant) who was married to a (still) closeted and unconfessed sex addict and possibly bisexual person for 16 years, I say the truth is the ONLY WAY to honor all differences and human nature itself. So....Yeah AC.

There, Anderson. Doesn't that feel much better?
Now call MK and arrange to get together for a few drinks. I so want these two to be a couple!

Aww, good for Anderson. I like that he's so gracious and articulate, but isn't all LOOK AT MEEE about it. It wasn't really a secret to most people to begin with, but I guess now that he's officially out, I can officially stop hoping that I will someday marry him. Anwyway, he's awesome and I'm happy for him.
