"Recently, however, I’ve begun to consider whether the unintended outcomes of maintaining my privacy outweigh personal and professional principle."

"It’s become clear to me that by remaining silent on certain aspects of my personal life for so long, I have given some the mistaken impression that I am trying to hide something – something that makes me uncomfortable, ashamed or even afraid. This is distressing because it is simply not true."

Anderson Cooper comes out.

What do you think of Cooper's statement?
	Sexuality should be kept private, and it really doesn't have anything to do with his journalism.
	If you don't come out earlier, it's more dignified to act like you think it should be private.
	It was wrong to be in the closet, so... better late than never.
	He soberly balances factors, and his view of the balance changed. I respect that.
	He's a gay hero. I congratulate him for his courage.
	We already knew, so this is meaningless.
