Perhaps the worst kept secret in New York City is that CNN anchor Anderson Cooper is a flaming homosexual. Sadly, probably because middle America would feel as though their souls were being raped if an openly gay man fed them the news, Cooper has remained in the closet about his sexuality.
But now that he’s about to turn an old firehouse in West Village (Complete with brass poles and hose-drying equipment!) into his home, as the Post reported this morning, we’re sort of left to assume one of three things.
1) He’s about to come out of the closet.
2) He’s just fucking with us all now.
3) He’s incredibly stupid.
Personally, I think it’s number two.
Anyway, reports the Post:
The century-old building on West Third Street was nominated this week for a spot on the National Register of Historic Places, a status that Cooper can use for a slew of tax breaks if his renovations maintain the firehouse’s historic façade.
Neighbors have seen Cooper visiting the firehouse regularly since it was sold in September for $4.3 million by the New York Board of Fire Underwriters, which operated the private Fire Patrol 2 out of the building beginning in 1906.
The building, built in the Beaux Arts style, still has its original spiral staircases, brass fire poles, overhead beams used to dry hoses and walls covered with murals marking the fire patrol’s history.
Seriously, is there a more blatantly gay thing a man can do than to turn a firehouse in West Village into his home? Me thinks AC just mooned middle America and told them to kiss his ass. So awesome.
I'm sure this has more to do with the firehose in the bedroom than the tax breaks. Or is it the sliding down the pole that fires his passion…hmmm
Oh come on. AC often delivers hints as to his sexual persuasion in off the cuff remarks and humorous asides.
He's cool and has the right to remain private in certain matters. Too much today is focused on one's sexual mores.
I don't think closeted is an accurate description of AC. He lives his life and doesn't hide it. He is often seen in public with his new boyfriend. He goes to functions with his gay friends. He hangs out with Kathy Griffin. He walks very fashionable dogs. He dresses like an AF model. He basically lives an openly gay life. And now this. He lives his life; he just doesn't discuss it with the public. Do people have to prattle on about their private lives to the public at large? I don't care for the term post-gay, but I think AC is moving forward to an era where people shouldn't give a shit about someone's sexuality. Sounds like progress to me.
very uncommon, thanks!
