I’m so crushing on him right now. How bad is it? I had been watching the freaking REPUBLICAN debates just to see him in action; I keep hoping that the Wolf will call in sick and the Coop will be in the Situation Room; I can’t stop watching YouTube videos of him; I think I’m stalking him (in a very non-threatening, it’s-not-like-I”m-going-to-New-York-and-hanging-out-at-trendy-gyms kind of way)
I know a lot of journalists who don’t like his approach: he’s not objective enough, he gets too emotionally involved, he doesn’t have the background in journalism, he’s from privilege, yada, yada, yada…
But that’s why I love him … he’s not some calm, authority figure telling me how it all fits together; he’s out there asking the questions that we want to ask, no matter how raw or WTF. And he is candid about his mother’s celebrity and his father and brother’s deaths (there is that one thing he isn’t candid about but oh well). Plus, he recognizes that just because there is always more than one angle or viewpoint to a story, not all those angles or viewpoints are valid.
Plus, he’s hot .. sexy-cool hot. Especially when he travels the world in that black Tshirt. And he loves Kathy Griffin and suffers his mother gladly and doesn’t take himself too seriously but takes the story seriously and he can go from an impassioned exploration of a Planet in Peril to squealing about shoes with the ladies from the View. And did I mention that he’s really, really hot… totes.

Anderson Cooper is gay. You know it, I know it, the world knows it, he just won’t admit it. If you don’t believe me, as you said in your post, he loves Kathy Griffin and squeals about shoes with the ladies from The View.

You can admire from afar, but let’s face it, Anderson Cooper is GAY so you really don’t have a chance with him, except maybe to go shopping. He may not acknowledge it, but everyone knows it. He almost slipped up and let everyone know here. Word even has it that Anderson is a sugar daddy to 26-year-old Julio Cesar Recio. And if you need more proof, you even note that he likes Kathy Griffin and likes to squeal about shoes with the ladies from The View.

Uhmm .. there are a whole host of reasons I don’t have a chance with Anderson Cooper and his being gay is only one of them.
And apparently I’m not the only one doing a little cyber-stalking of the man (yeah, I’m talking to you, Country Mennonite).
How great though is it that my google ads are popping up christianmingle.com and catchhimandkeephim.com. That’s gold, people, gold.

[...] Cooper, he of the silvery hair and passionate reporting. As was mentioned in the comments (and alluded to in the post), his sexuality appears to be a fairly open secret. But he is notorious for not talking about it [...]
