I had no idea this was a secret, I thought he had come out years and years ago ... WOW ! Anyhow, what's the big deal ... boring news. He is still a great reporter, man, and human being. I wish him and his partner all the love and joy in the world
In an ideal world, there wouldn't be any desire to go into the closet in the first place, because nobody would have an issue with another's sexual orientation.
Anderson is one of the VERY few personalities on CNN who is actually good.
I went to school with his deceased brother Carter who killed himself because of his sexuality an the preasure of being a Vandy. Same as Nel Rockefeller Jr they go out with women but live a secret gay life.
I notice a lot of these Celebs also come out like Anderson just did for ratings more then anything eles.
There mom is a Real hoot an very down to earth as wesll.
And the world responds, "DUH!". TMZ is reporting he issued a letter to the daily beast in which he comes out.
He "came out" on a news show this morning. And while most people suspected he is gay, there is a huge difference between people "guessing" and you coming out on your own terms.
I do not understand why gay people feel they must come out and announce to the world, um, hello, the world is not entitled to know that.
if someone asks you can say, yes I am.....
Because we live in a world where people are still persecuted for being who they are.
What do you think would have happened had he not "come out" but was seen walking down the street in Manhattan holding hands with a man?? Or kissing a man?? Or moving in with a man or marrying a man???
He would have been torn to shreds in the media and all the ignorant bigots would have been demanding his shows be cancelled, they'd be picketing the studios where he tapes, etc etc etc.
Another reason a "non famous" person may feel the need to "come out"?? Basically the same. Everyone "assumes" you're straight (unless you're flamboyant or overly butch) so you can't "be yourself" until you let the people you're close to know.
