I just woke up and the guys on the radio i thought said anderson cooper is gay. Does anyone know if this is true? They were commenting on the banter bewtween anderson cooper and ryan seacrest on tuesday night on the Larry King Show. I saw ryan interviewing nicole ritchie and when he threw it to anderson they were talking about how big or little their ties were. I thought it was funny but not that they were flirting like the radio people said! Clear this up for me !

Just Googled this name. I don't have CNN, so I'd never heard of this person before.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson_Cooper#Discussion_of_Sexuality
Discussion of Sexuality
Some in the gay community, including activists on blogACTIVE, believe that Cooper's sexual orientation is an "open-secret" and want him to publicly 'come out'. It has been further claimed that discussion of Cooper's sexuality is increasing 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. And then there was the tempest in a teapot regarding 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.? Cooper has maintained all along that he said ?you.? 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.?

In the gay community around here, everybody's of the opinion that he's gay.
We all wear a green carnation.

thanks guys! I was totally confused by what i heard on the radio. I don't care if he is or he isn't he's still hot! and i'll give him credit for his news skills too. he was awesome as the host of the first Mole tv show on ABC!  I never heard anything about his sexuality so it was a shocker to wake up to. I wonder how his mom Gloria Vanderbilt feels about that!

He's a pretty mothafucker. He hosted the first two seasons of The Mole.
