I totally agree with AKA William—this segment on Live with Regis & Kelly is as out as Anderson Cooper's ever come on TV, and it seems to be a strong indication he could indeed be the "TV personality" about to come out all the way. Hilarious segment, but when he comes out it won't be a laughing matter—it'll be a great moment for living honestly and without shame. (Well, at least regarding one's sexual orientation!)

Those who say, "Oh, brother, it's not that surprising, he's practically out anyway!" miss the point that practically out is not out, and it does make a difference, if not to jaded types like us then for sure to young people who are just forming their impressions of grown-up society.
