Congrats Mr. Cooper.

Okay, I rarely touch on subjects that can end up being something controversial. It's really not that I do not want to get mixed up in the issues, it's more so that these are subjects that just do not come up when I am blogging. However, I read an interesting story this morning. It doesn't really come as a surprise but I wanted to share with my readers.
This morning I read that Anderson Cooper has opened up and 'came out' as being Gay. I can imagine just how some people are going to react to this news. After seeing how the group 'One Million Moms' boycotted JCPenny, I'm sure there is going to be some controversy. {There always seems to be}


I give Props to those in the 'celebrity spotlight' who have the courage to be open about their sexuality. Many have speculated about Anderson Cooper's personal life but until now- he has always kept it under wraps. As someone with a sister {who has a wife} I have seen how cruel the world can be. As someone who is now admitting to having {loved a girl in my high school years}, I have felt the pain of others' criticism. Being in the 'celebrity spotlight' has got to amplify that criticism 1000x's.

[Read the letter in which Anderson Cooper says "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."]

Major Props, Anderson! Major Props!
Thank you for being brave enough & {proud enough} to bare such a personal part of yourself to the world. It means so much to so many. And you just earned even more {hotness} points in my book.
