Anderson Cooper: I’m gay

He said he changed his mind recently after considering “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,”
he said.

Mr Cooper began his broadcasting career with short news reports from Vietnam,
where he was studying after graduating from Yale. He went on to report from
war zones in Rwanda, Somalia and Bosnia before being hired by ABC and
eventually CNN.

While casting himself as a news reporter, Mr Cooper is known for an emotional
and sometimes hands-on approach to stories. He was one of the first national
US journalists to aggressively cover the destruction in the wake of
Hurricane Katrina, confronting Louisiana’s Democrat Senator in a combative
interview for which he was widely praised.
