Anderson Cooper, one of the most respected journalists nowadays, just shocked the world with an unexpected statement about his intimate life by saying: “I am gay”. Actually Cooper admitted something which the whole planet already knew.
According to Sullivan, the e-mail was published with full agreement from Cooper.
“I’ve always been very open and honest about this part of my life with friends, my family and my colleagues. In a perfect world nobody should care about this, but I do think there is value in standing up and being counted”. I am not an activist, I am a man and I did not give up this fact when I became a reporter.
Cooper’s announcement was received with sympathy on Twitter and received hundreds of messages of encouragement, but there were fans who blamed him for his “silence”.
