Blade's Naff takes on closeted Anderson Cooper and others
There's nothing wrong with being gay, Anderson. If you can talk about your mom watching your brother commit suicide, surely you can be more honest about your life. Ugh.
Sure, Cooper has lived an interesting life, thanks to his being born into one of the nation’s wealthiest families. He shares recollections of dinner parties from his childhood attended by Andy Warhol and Truman Capote, among other luminaries. But there’s something rather opportunistic and pretentious about a 38-year-old penning an autobiography.
That issue aside, the omission of any reference to sexual orientation is glaring. What autobiography doesn’t include mention of significant others? Imagine if your husband/wife/partner wrote an autobiography and failed to mention your relationship. Talk about being in the doghouse.
