Estee 51458 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 07-03-12, 02:40 PM (EST) "Lucky gays." Anderson Cooper just came out. His sexuality had been rumored for a while in that 'everyone knows but no one will finish the sentence' way and now certain parties will really start screaming 'Agenda!' for everything he does (same as before, two extra decibels). But this is the first coming-out non-party which has ever actively pissed me off. Anderson Cooper is gay, and I'm angry. At him. How dare he! Look -- we all have our quirks, especially when it comes to the things we're attracted to, all right? You have them. The person next to you has them. That one over there has them and is in serious denial about it -- no, wait: that's you again. You can't help them, you can't control them, you sure can't pick and choose, and you usually don't know why they exist without investing eighty thousand dollars in therapy. And I have them too. Here's one of them. I love prematurely white hair on a man. I mean white-white. Snow white. 'I just saw my first ghost and got a permanent memento to mark the occasion' white. Tea Party national conference white. And do you know how hard that is to find? I'll tell you how hard that is to find: Steve Martin and Anderson Cooper. That's just about it. Steve's taken and is no longer anywhere close to the age where it would be premature anyway. And Anderson's gay, we all knew he was gay and it was just a matter of waiting for him to finally say it out loud, but as long as he didn't actually speak the words, there was a chance. Sure, nothing was ever going to happen and it wasn't even worth a quick fantasy because frau I ain't, but at least there was one intelligent male out there with prematurely white hair and the lottery offers worse odds than that. And now he's Officially Gay. You lucky bleeps. I am not having a good day.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Or you could practice the choice of not watching The Choice, because he was on it a couple of weeks ago swiveling his chair to face unsuspecting women, one of whom would have to go on a date with him or face penalty of contract. I spotted that he was going to be there, saw him during a commercial flip, and kept right on going. So. Win American Idol and get to appear on one of the worst so-called dating shows in history.

PepeLePew13 23447 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 07-03-12, 06:13 PM (EST) 10. "RE: Lucky gays." I guess it's a sign of the times: I shrugged when CNN said he has come out, and wondered what the fuss was all about. It's not going to change AC's ability to report the news or impact his credibility one bit and he's still a human being like everyone else. (I don't know about his hair, though...)   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 51458 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 07-03-12, 06:19 PM (EST) 12. "RE: Lucky gays." It'll impact his reporting somewhat: there are people who will refuse to talk to him and others who'll claim he's Agenda-spinning everything he does -- while others will now prefer to go on his segments before anyone else's. This may balance out to zero, but don't place any bets. And yes, we all know that when it comes to hair, you like center striping. In white.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

A fair part of the day was spent in an ongoing texting process as the circle debated which public personality we'd most like to see come out next.

Sagebrush Dan 9683 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 07-04-12, 12:17 PM (EST) 19. "RE: Lucky gays." As long as gay teens feel so isolated that they kill themselves, coming out needs to be national news; anything to give someone hope to make it through another day, another week, another year. This is a big deal for those who need that sense of identity, who need someone that they look up to in keeping them going. If it saves one life, then it is worth it. This is a big deal for those whose names appear in those headlines; it will stengthen them, empower them, and, hopefully, enrich their lives.

Tahj 4136 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 07-04-12, 12:38 PM (EST) 21. "RE: Lucky gays." Happy Coming Out Day Anderson. I have to admit my gaydar was kinda sketchy on this one. It was about 70-30. Always loved him, no matter what. I feel like the gay community has a real hero on our side. Wonder what Kathy Griffin will say tomorrow night on her show. He was on there a couple weeks ago and I thought it was hilarious. Of course, she knew, since they are really good friends.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

AyaK 9345 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 07-09-12, 05:04 PM (EST) 24. "Hmmm" Megan Rapinoe of the US Women's soccer team also "came out." But there's a catch. There was never any doubt about the sexual orientation of either Anderson Cooper or Megan Rapinoe, no matter what the media says. Neither had ever made any effort, as far as I know, to hide their orientation.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

dabo 23497 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 07-10-12, 00:24 AM (EST) 26.

AyaK 9345 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 07-10-12, 04:40 PM (EST) 27. "RE: Hmmm" You're right that these are non-events because neither of these people ever tried to hide, and that reflects a change in the culture: hiding is no longer necessary even for high-profile personalities. Frankly, in Anderson Cooper's case, it was a much bigger deal when he and his mother (Gloria Vanderbilt) in 2011 discussed his older brother's depression and subsequent suicide at age 21. If Tom Cruise came out, though, that would still be an event.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Colonel Zoidberg 3532 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 07-11-12, 06:36 AM (EST) 28. "RE: Lucky gays." Two things: 1. I already kind of knew this. I didn't care then. I don't care now. Lumping people into categories based on gay or not-gay is silly. Lumping people into "@$$hole" and "not @$$hole" is much easier. Especially when, in most circles, the former category is much larger. 2. I started going prematurely gray at 26. Part of my hair did, anyway. I shaved my head.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
