Anderson Cooper has, at long last, publicly said he is gay.


Cooper made the announcement in an email to writer 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," he wrote.


Cooper's sexuality has long been the subject of ample media speculation, but he has never publicly confirmed it.










As Sullivan himself said in his post, Cooper is just the latest celebrity to come out in a relatively understated way. Just fifteen years ago, Ellen DeGeneres revealed she was gay in a storm of magazine covers and publicity. Now, though, stars are just as likely to quietly disclose their sexuality.
