    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.

    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.

    Totally agree. I always say "what difference does it make" People who feel threatened by someone's sexual choices are very sad, and very insecure. Why else

    I think that's more news story worthy than Tom Cruise and whatsherface getting a divorce.

    Nah... the one that I was most sad about was Matt Bomar... But in any respect, it matters not to me.

    I'm happy that he's happy. I also kind of get why he did it. The suicide rate among gay teens is nearly twice the national average. (Quoting from memory, may be a bit lower).

    You are absolutely right that we should not compare this to cancer, there is no comparison. In reality, I don't give a crap it this dude is gay or not as there are much more important issues in the world we need to deal with than if somebody is gay or not. Who freaking cares. If you wanna be gay then go be gay, its your choice! At the end of the day it is your actions as a person that define you not if your gay or not, this is so freaking stupid. Oh and who is Anderson Cooper again? OK I am done.

    Not all churches preach hatred towards gay people. There are a lot of churches that welcome people of any sexual orientation. On the GLAAD page http://www.glaad.org/issues/religion-faith

    Being gay is not a "choice," FYI.

    With Anderson Cooper, it seems similar to when Clay Aiken and Rosie O'Donnell came out. It was already assumed.

    There are some other famous people that haven't come out but suspicion is strong that they are gay.

    I don't care about straight or gay. Ugly, on the other hand... XD

    Okay, that's not nice. You have to admit he's really easy on the eyes, though! :D

    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.

    Totally agree!

    Anything that is "newsworthy" that is of "shock" value, always makes the rounds amongst the talking heads, both left and right. It's been rumored for years that he is. He's gay, AND nice to look at, and I'm at my lowest weight since I was a teenager.

    my guess is no he probably doesnt want a medal now.

    its weird that you would think that.

    Ironically, I LITERALLY just finished reading an article in Entertainment Weekly, that talked about how much he was criticized for not talking at all about his love life on his daytime talk show, and how he should publicly come out. Like, I mean, I literally, finished reading that article, and then came online here now......

    I am glad he came out, the most people that do it, the less intolerance there will be......

    If being Gay is a choice, when did you choose to be straight?

    Being Gay is not a choice.

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

    Great responses. If Anderson Cooper and other celebrities admitting they are gay will raise awareness and stop people from bullying, discriminating against and hating homosexuals then perhaps it is a good thing. Who Anderson Cooper or any other celebrity dates or has sex with is still of NO concern to me. I still say live and let live. Mr. Cooper is successful, wealthy and famous. He also appears to be comfortable with who he is despite the fact it goes it against the traditional American way of life.

    And this right here is why you posted this thread...... The last statement says it all.

    I am all for him coming out (thought he did awhile ago) More power to him and his partner. Although I think he is incredibly sexy gay or not.

    Who is Anderson Cooper anyway and why should I care if he's gay or not? I'd never heard of him before reading this thread, and I still don't know anything about him other than the fact that he's gay and that some women are a little disappointed by that because they find him attractive.

    That's his problem, don't really care what he does in his personal life.

    I can't believe that anyone does not know who Anderson Cooper is! That makes me kinda sad......
