who's afraid of anderson cooper?

so one of my latest annoyences (cq?) is why does anyone give a shit if anderson cooper is gay?

this stems from an article in the latest issue of out where michael musto basically says cooper is gay and that he should just come out already. but i just have to ask: who cares?

cooper is a great journalist, and yeah, it's good that he's easy on the eyes, but why does his sexuality have to factor into any of that? sure, some might say that he's just pushing the "gay agenda" if he were gay, but the fact is that he's already supporting gay rights, and many heteros also do such.

i just don't understand why it matters? does anyone?
