Does anyone even care? He says this is a big risk and the viewers might not accept him, knowing he is gay.

My opinion is that every TV show has a token gay guy since Oliver joined the Brady Bunch - why should the news be any different.

Was this really risky?

False alarm! I thought the article was about Anderson Cooper.

I thought they were all gay.

Interesting and I like him as a commentator, not as grizzled as Anderson, that's for sure.

Will go out on a limb and say it won't, the book, hurt him.
Possible for a a few , hard time with, but now he will have a token in the game, something that sets him apart from others, and a positive.

Very brave to come out like this, tough business, honesty in presentation and after being honest about this revelation, hard to question his truthfulness on how he reports, beyond being fed wrong facts and storys naturally.

Lol, meghan. I thought the same thing.

I've always thought he does a good job on the news, but the only times I've watched him on CNN was at airports, so I might not be the best judge of news talent.

Why is this relevant if he does his job like he is supposed to?

It isn't.
