So what if Anderson Cooper...is gay?

So what if Anderson Cooper is gay? Is he that important to you? I mean he is not going to help us pay our bills, is he when he is out?.

The way I look at it, it is no point in outing him. We must respect those who want to be in the closet. Why is it so hard for us to do that?

As written on his blog: "Be honest about what you see, get out of the way and let the story reveal by itself" - Anderson Cooper Blog 360. Exactly! Get out of the way, and let him come out by himself...sooner or later, one day.

You desperate queer writers must know one thing: Cooper's closet case it is not a matter of life and death. Let him hide in the glass closet. We can see him where he feels safer and saner.

But I think this is not about Anderson Cooper being gay or behaving gayly in Fire Island, as seen by some of us, walking and holding hands in the sand with his guy. This is, sadly, about us gay writers/bloggers who want to out him -- it is a battle among us gay writers/bloggers to out him first! It is boundary-pushing suggestions of outrageous acts in the gay world.

As for you Anderson, you have risen from humble begining in news and through pure grit and resourcefulness, got yourself through college and major newsrooms. You may not suffer under the weight of massive student loans (because you are from a super rich family and your famous ma is goodlookin') like most of them do, or, dazzle by life in the big city like I am, but you entered the rarefied field of journalism in Manhattan and you did well and are still doing extremely well. We gays are so proud of you. We know you are gay because we've seen you, even caught you aware and unaware.

But we don't need you to come out, to be perfectly honest. And you don't need our help either. Your homo life is non of our business, is it? No. That is the cold hard truth. We don't really care about you. We love you as the Anderson Cooper the newsman because you are damn good and no more.

In a world that often takes "gay outing" for granted, yours is a million dollar story we queer writers/bloggers are dying for. Don't give them the pleasure to out you. If you want to get out of your glass closet, issue a statement to all the world so that no one will get the title "the one who outed Cooper".

Michael Lucas (The Lucas File) and Michael Musto (Out Magazine) and the others are all active writers but until they are really genuinely interested in helping you out without wanting the title 'the first to out Anderson Cooper", don't come out to them.

And don't sleep with them!

While it is true that we queers need a good role model like you, we don't need you to complete us.

I remember you said: "Be yourself and be real" This is the time for you to be real, be honest and be true to yourself. When you are ready, come out to Oprah. Be classy.

I have a question to all the writers/bloggers who are out there to out others. Why must you out Anderson Cooper?

Respect other gay people the way you want others to respect you. I know some gay people who fuck girls and will rather die than to admit it...fucking come out!
