Anderson Cooper has finally officially come out of the closet! In a letter written to Andrew Sullivan of thedailybeast.com, Cooper states "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.
