Will Anderson Cooper Finally Come Out On His Daytime Talk Show?

Let’s be honest. We’ve known that Anderson Cooper has played for our team for quite some time now. Okay, we may not know, we just assume. But come on. Isn’t it blatantly obvious? Let’s look at the facts. He’s been seen out in public with longtime boyfriend Benjamin Maisani in plain sight and has laughed at himself when called closeted in front of colleagues.
Now an annonymous source who has tipped off Gawker is claiming that Anderson may be ready to come out of the closet on his daytime talk show during February sweeps. We know that the show has already been picked up for second season so they aren’t that desperate for ratings. But, it would finally be the news we’ve all be dying to hear, am I right boys? Here’s Gawker’s published tip.
Daytime talk show “Anderson” is having their first Christmas party [tonight], 15 December, at the Russian Tea Room. Anderson Cooper is bringing Benjamin Maisani. And introducing him as his “boyfriend” to the staff. The staff is prepping Anderson’s “coming out” show for the next sweeps. Check the ratings. They’re getting desperate.
Brian Moylan from Gawker placed a call to the Russian Tea Room who confirmed that Anderson was indeed hosting his Christmas party there. While some of you may be shocked that Anderson will be introducing Benjamin Maisani as his boyfriend, I’m sure he’s being doing it with close friends and family for a while. Rumor has it the two live together in a firehouse turned condo. PS, if you’ve seen pictures of Benjamin, you know these two have the hottest gay sex you can fantasize.
In all fairness, if Anderson has been gay this whole time like we’ve been assuming, then it’s about time he made the announcement. I have understood his reasoning behind it due to the fact that he’s wanted to stay neutral with his journalism. However, with the way things have been going for the LGBT community worldwide, it would be a great opportunity for him to take the giant leap.
Do you think Anderson will come out of the closet in February? Sound off below.

Well you should keep in mind that we gay people knew all those people were gay. Straight people can be so clueless. Hell, Clay Aiken’s fans vehemently claimed he was straight. Clay freaking Aiken. It’s necessary for these clueless straight people to realize they have always been surrounded by gay people. If he does come out you can’t presume to know his motivations. Being open or closeted is not a simple one-faceted decision. No one can presume to understand everything that is behind that individual person’s choice.

I agree what’s the point in him coming out? Everyone knows he’s gay.

If he’s gay and wants to come out, splendid! If not, I’ll still think he’s hot.

@Adam: First, stop shouting… your messages in all caps are rude. Learn some etiquette, darling. Second, he will come out when it’s his time to come out. Remember, this is HIS life, not yours. No, he doesn’t expect a parade and if you should “boo” him, I say shame one you. I’m fairly certain that he is honest with himself and so he hasn’t outed himeself yet… so what? Who are you to say that in order to be “honest” he has to be outed? Nobody, that’s who. Anderson is who he is, and if he has a boyfriend that he chooses not to be public with (hello? Celbrities need their privacy too!) then it’s not for you to judge. Get off the cross Mary Louise… I need the wood!

I would totally watch his new show if I had a DVR or was home during the time it airs.
As far as coming out, the choice is his and he’ll do it when he’s ready (no matter the reasons). I don’t believe it’s ok to put someone OUT just to defend the LGBT agenda.

“…due to the fact that he’s wanted to stay neutral with his journalism.”
To the clueless out there: He’s a bedwetting liberal with no apologies…so much for neutrality.
And what does Cooper’s homosexuality have to do with problems in the Middle East or our floundering economy?
And as far as discussing gay issues, would we be better off hearing from a panel of straight men for their objectivity?
