Gawker Writer Takes Credit for Outing CNN Anchor

Guardian: Anderson Cooper “has proven himself to be the public face” of the shooting in Orlando, according to former Gawker writer Brian Moylan. “And I believe it is right that a gay man could hold this position. In fact, I don’t think he could have done such a good job if he hadn’t been out. Which is why being proud of Cooper is a little bit strange for me. Years ago, when I was a journalist at Gawker, Cooper, then living in a glass closet, was my bête noir.”
