Anderson Cooper gave his boyfriend a more public and lasting personal thank you in his bestselling book, and I don't see anyone claiming that is somehow equal to coming out. Nobody counts Rosie Odonnel as having come out when she thanked Kelli at a major televised award show, they count her as coming out when she announced she's gay.
A few media outlets acting on their own initiative decided to interpret Jodie's ambiguous mention of Cydney as Jodie coming out and reported it that way. You know they were asking Jodie for confirmation, statements and interviews and there was absolutely nothing from Foster. #andersoncooper

Meanwhile, that French guy’s nipples are hypnotizing me. #andersoncooper

I think closeted gay news people, ALL closeted news people not just Cooper, should get the same treatment straight news people get in terms of love life coverage. So can we expect a big lay out on Olbermann's girlfriend and whoever closet gays like Robin Roberts, Shep Smith and Don Lemon have been doing? #andersoncooper

Obviously, gossip sites are a separate category. They’ll cover just about anything with scant regard for the truth or any other journalistic standard. Anderson Cooper is better known than the people you mentioned, and more attractive than most of them, so he inevitably gets attention from celebrity hounds. The added features of palatial vacations and hunky boyfriends guarantee excited chatter among a certain portion of the rumor-consuming public. #andersoncooper

I can see why Cooper would draw more coverage on this site, but not why he gets it all or his non-celebrity boyfriend gets this kind of scrutiny and exposure while other closet newsies' partners/dates/pick ups get none. The other glass closet cases would probably be better known if they got outed all the time like Cooper, and some of them have way more viewers than Cooper so they are already pretty well known. Surely some if not most of these successful people must have hot dates and cool vacations readers would find intriguing. If Gawker solicited readers for private stories and pics of the girlfriends of guys like Olbermann the way they are doing with Maisani I sure there would be plenty of readers for any juicy stuff they could turn up.
If Gawker's going to be investigating and publishing about news people's love/sex lives and spotlighting non-celebrity partners, why shouldn't the discomfort and embarrassment be spread around? #andersoncooper

This is, however, more of an assumption than anything else. #andersoncooper

Good catch! I can't believe this nimrod is so afraid of being outed he makes his boyfriend walk behind him. Thats horrifying on so many levels. #andersoncooper

I don't see any reason to assume he was making a boyfriend walk behind him one month and then magically transformed into someone with a completely different approach a couple months later. Maybe Julio Cesar didn't want to do things around a camera that might generate big invasive gawker profiles, or maybe he was not as speedy because as AC because he is carrying a load of bags and AC packed light with one rolling suitcase, who knows? #andersoncooper

Hate to tell you this, but he doesn't owe you or anyone else a public declaration of his sexuality. #andersoncooper
