Come out, come out, wherever you are!
Political commentator Rachel Maddow is an open lesbian and is calling her journalist counterparts to come out of the closet as well.

“I’m sure other people in the business have considered reasons why they’re doing what they’re doing, but I do think that if you’re gay you have a responsibility to come out,” Maddow said in a recent interview.
And while many speculate she was referring to CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, the 38-year-old took to her blog today to say it isn’t so.

“I wasn’t asked about Anderson Cooper, I didn’t say anything about him, he literally was never discussed during the interview at all – even implicitly,” Maddow wrote.
“I also believe that coming out makes for a happier life.”

Rachel is being a BULLY to gay people. Perez Hilton use to out gays on his blog but stopped after he realized he was a bully. I only watched Rachel's show a couple times & she spent more time mocking other news anchors than reporting herself.

Did she really need to make an announcement? Her appearance was a dead give away.
