According to Yahoo News,  Anderson Cooper said, “The fact is, I’m gay,” Cooper wrote in an email to Daily Beast blogger Andrew Sullivan. “Always have been, always will be, and I couldn’t be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud.”

Sullivan, who is gay and is a longtime friend of Cooper’s, had asked the CNN anchor for his reaction to a recent Entertainment Weekly story–“The New Art of Coming Out”–that was, in part, about the importance of gay celebrities coming out of the closet to combat America’s bullying epidemic.
