Anderson Cooper's gay: Am I the only how doesn't give a damn
Why is everyone making such a big deal about Anderson Cooper 'coming out' about being gay? I could care less. He's gay, good for him. Why is this even in the news? People in this country are too concerned about sexual orientation and sexual preference. Live and let live.

I thought it was pretty obvious..I didn't need him to declare it to gain awareness.0

You cared enough to post about it.
It is important because there is still a lot of hatred, discrimination, and violence against gay people. When that's a thing of the past, celebrities won't need to come out.0 -
Dunno why anybody cares. There are a lot more interesting/important news items out there.0
-
i wonder if i could change him
what? he's cute.
anyways, it goes beyond sad that we as a people are concerned about what happens in other people's lives that dont concern them.0 -
um i had heard him say he had a partner a few years ago not a big deal. i do think he is a good role model though.0

Ding Ding Ding! :drinker:0 -
Um, I think it was pretty obvious.
Who cares? I still love his show.
Why people care who people date/sleep with is beyond me??0 -

I posted it to get other people's input. I don't care who's gay and who's not. I find it sad that people make such a big deal out of someone's sexual orientation or preference. Who Anderson Cooper sleeps or has sex with is his business, not mine. I also find it sad that anyone would try to physically hurt someone who is gay.0 -
honestly, I was a little sad. He is so hot to me!! Well another one bites the dust.0

I don't care either. "Coming Out" isn't a big deal to me, and I feel that it is something that should be respected and lauded among friends and family. However, sensationalizing it like we do in the United States seems to cheapen it and make it seem like little more than attention wh0ring. In either case, congrats to him (I guess?) and he will continue to spend his millions from the Vanderbilt fortune and the money he makes himself at his discretion, lol!0

Are you kidding me? The guy will probably write another book about it and make millions of dollars. That's why "celebrities" come out.0 -
I thought he came out years ago...this is news? Don't mean to offend anyone but Andreson you're Gay, so what. I'm thrilled. Big deal.:indifferent: I don't know about anyone else on here, but I think the shock value about being Gay is over and done:yawn: . Anderson, you came out too late, nobody cares now.0

Everyone gives too much of a ---- about business that is not theirs. I agree with you, who cares.0

You obviously have no clue. They come out for the same reason why those who have had cancer etc talk about it. It's to raise awareness. If people see that even celebrities are gay, have illnesses, etc it allows "regular" people to relate and be more aware. I can't remember the last person who wrote a book solely on their sexuality and made a bunch of money off it.0 -
I didn't like him when he was straight either.0
-
How much less could you care? I hope your goal of caring less is met soon . I look forward to not seeing more threads about this once you can't care less.0

Better question: Why are so many people giving a damn about Anderson Cooper?

No, he does have a clue. Awareness is everywhere. Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, and countless others have come out and brought their sexuality in the spotlight. Who is still in the dark about it? Where is it being hidden and suppressed in the U.S. flagrantly and purposefully? I can't think of anywhere. It's all over the place like heterosexuality so the point being made is whether or not, as it relates to celebrities, it has reached a point of societal saturation yet. The Op and me lean towards thinking it has but that's not going to make or break us, the parties involved, or the cause in an of itself.0 -
Nope you're not alone. His sexuality does not affect my pay check or my bills ergo. Me no care!!! But yah for him i guess0

When all the hatred and bigotry in the world ends, there won't be a reason for stuff like this to make the news. Since humans are mainly douches, it will probably always make news. I would rather hear about this then the Cruise divorce. CNN seriously played a special about their whole marriage for an hour. C N N. >.<0

:laugh: This exactly! I can't stand him!I didn't like him when he was straight either.0 -
AMEN!
It is a sad comment on American News Media that this is even a story.0 -

Did you seriously compare coming out to having cancer? Cancer awareness is raised to encourage people to get checked and help fund research for treatments. Cancer eats your insides away and is difficult for both the patient and those who love them. So you're saying celebrities are raising awareness so we should all get checked to see if we're gay? Is there an annual physical we need to go to to get tested? How does that test work? Do they have us watch porn and whatever turns us on the most dictates our orientation.
Don't compare sexuality to devastating diseases.0 -

You are not seriously comparing being gay with having cancer, are you?0 -
Personally I don't care whether he is or isn't, but then I'm not a celebrity tracker. But if he's fully coming out so that he can speak up against bullying good for him. the more voices against that the better.0
-
Not a surprise, but actually sad that he felt he needed to announce it. The US is so uptight and bigoted against people who are different, it's pathetic. I was recently in Toronto and the amount of acceptance there is almost tangible - quite different from the majority of the US.0
-
Where have you been? He has been "out" for years. I thought everyone knew!
PS... who cares anyway? I gues someone does...0 -
If Anderson Cooper has cancer, who am I to judge? Live and let live, I always say.
Perhaps we can start a new group here: We just don't care about Anderson Cooper!
We can all post daily about how we have absolutely zero interest in his life, his loves, his terrible illness, etc.
