The CNN anchor, when speaking with The Daily Beast, told editor Andrew Sullivan, “The fact is, I’m gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn’t be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud.”

Anderson then gave Sullivan permission to run with that quote, making this the least interesting coming-out story to hit the newsstands since Clay Aiken. He admitted he was gay? That’s no fun!

Will this change my enjoyment of Anderson Cooper‘s AC 360 on CNN? Doubtful. I never liked the show, and don’t think it will get better just because the host is openly homosexual.

But who knows?
