Is Anderson Cooper gay?

Question

I've heard both sides of the story---so which one is it? Is he gay or not?

It doesn't make any difference, it's just something I've always wondered....geez!

the ones who say "what difference does it make" are obviously the ones in favor of it....how sad.

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

Sexual orientation
Some in the gay community believe that Cooper's sexual orientation is an "open-secret" and want him to publicly 'come out'. It has been further claimed, e.g., on blogACTIVE, that discussion of Cooper's sexuality is increasingly seen as a liability to his career and so is no longer acknowledged; "his handlers at CNN [are] known to call sites and ask editors to delete references to Anderson Cooper being gay." Blogger Andy Towle referred to Cooper as "the most openly closeted gay man in America" after reading a New York magazine article which reported on the matter as follows:

There has been a lot of chatter on the Internet about the fact that Cooper may or may not be gay, and Village Voice columnist Michael Musto has taken pleasure in quoting the gay magazine Metrosource, which has referred to Cooper as "the openly gay news anchor." It has been assumed in certain circles in New York partly because he lives what looks to some to be a gay social life. He’s often seen at parties with Barry Diller, and he's friends with the lead singer from the outré gay rock band the Scissor Sisters. There was also a slightly heated interview last fall with Jerry Falwell about gay marriage. Some Cooper-obsessed bloggers insist that the anchor outed himself on the air, taking the gay side of the debate and saying, "We pay taxes." They claim CNN originally posted a transcript with the "we" and then later changed it to "You pay taxes."
When I bring up the sexuality issue with Cooper, he says, "You know, I understand why people might be interested. But I just don’t talk about my personal life. It’s a decision I made a long time ago, before I ever even knew anyone would be interested in my personal life. The whole thing about being a reporter is that you're supposed to be an observer and to be able to adapt with any group you’re in, and I don’t want to do anything that threatens that."
It is currently rumored that Cooper, who on page 212 of his memoir states "I’d like to thank Julio for his support and calm counsel without which this book would not have been possible," is currently living with Julio Cesar Recio, assumed to be his significant other.

Answer 3

Yea
How is Anderson Cooper?

Answer 4

I hope not he is a really nice looking man. He is kinda overly good-looking like most gay men and his mother is a New York socialite so its possible. I really hope he isn't he's too cute for that. Either way it doesn't matter. If he is gay or not he does his job and does it better than most in his field.

Answer 5

So what if he were, since when is it our business. I never did understand the fascination that some people have, with celebrity sex lives. It's none of our business

Answer 6

have a great day

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

No hes not gay.
