Anderson Cooper: "The Fact Is, I'm Gay."
"...Recently, however, I’ve begun to consider whether the unintended outcomes of maintaining my privacy outweigh personal and professional principle. It’s become clear to me that by remaining silent on certain aspects of my personal life for so long, I have given some the mistaken impression that I am trying to hide something - something that makes me uncomfortable, ashamed or even afraid. This is distressing because it is simply not true.

...I have always been very open and honest about this part of my life with my friends, my family, and my colleagues. In a perfect world, I don't think it's anyone else's business, but I do think there is value in standing up and being counted. I’m not an activist, but I am a human being and I don't give that up by being a journalist."

And a good post by Kathy Griffin

с одной стороны да, не новость

с другой - все равно позитивный шаг. потому что когда человек избегает прямого ответа на вопрос, таки да, создается впечатление что ему стыдно. молодец Купер
