Celebrities Tweet Congratulations to Anderson Cooper
by Hilton Hater at .In a thoughtful, well-reasoned statement, Anderson Cooper came out as a proud gay man today, saying:
"Recently 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."
In response to the (not surprising) reveal, many celebrities have taken to Twitter and sent the CNN anchor their best wishes. A sampling is below:
Neil Patrick Harris: “Good for you, @AndersonCooper. You’re awesome.”
Jesse Tyler Ferguson: “One of the reasons I look up to my friend @andersoncooper is his amazing eloquence. Very proud of him!”
Ellen DeGeneres: “I’m proud of you, @AndersonCooper.”
LeAnn Rimes: “Rock on @AndersonCooper for being a brave, classy man. Much respect!”
Kelly Ripa: “So proud of you @andersoncooper . Always have been, always will be.”
Sara Bareilles: “I applaud @andersoncooper for being authentic and honest with the public. It helps others feel brave too.”
Joan Rivers: “Thrilled @AndersonCooper came out! So, THAT’S why he never wanted to date me! I would’ve loved having Gloria Vanderbilt as my mother-in-law.”

@Moses. Why bother to do that? We know Obama's a lyin' cheat not to mention the most radical Socialist leader in the White House thus far. Nahhh, no matter how many newscasters come out show their frilly panties to the public? It would never be enough to waste a vote on a POTUS poised to bring down this country completely!
Now go get your conservative friends to flip flop and vote Obama.Flip flop flip flop.
@ Eyes- HAHAHAHA! hey well all have to sacrifice.
Just for clarity--I meant "tallywhacker", my bad! Ha!
Okay, guys, I think "A True Patriot" is pullin' all the stoppers out here! I think we should take him seriously realizing this dude is tryin' his best to meet those of the "Light-in-Your-Loafers" crowd half way. Just consider alone what he's willing to tie to his tallwhacker, throwin' caution to the wind, and maybe leaving himself permanently disabled in the southern hemisphere! ALL to gain some peace 'n harmony on this issue. Don't take this offer lightly! PS Besides, I hear he whistles on key and with patriotic gusto. That alone should be worth it! (With a little coaxing? "Patriot" may even take requests to whistle with glee!):)
