Did Cooper finally come out when I wasn't looking?
Wait, was that a kind of stupid thing to say? I must think so, because a day later it's bothering me. One doesn't have to be out to call Universal on its idiocy. And I respect the decision of any celebrity to keep his or her personal life private. But I'm bothered by the message it sends to gay youngsters when well-known people who are "out in private" feel unable to go public with their sexual orientation. That says there's still something to fear. And, of course, there is. But the more "out in public" celebs there are, the more it will get better.
