Young Coop Covers Old Gays

Anderson Cooper has come a long way, baby!

Soup Cans came across this video of CNN’s main man covering the gay pride beat for former employer, ABC. Cooper’s not as confident or impassioned as his current persona, but the kids got heart and the tale’s sweet: old gay couple celebrate rainy pride. Awwwww.

It’s always interesting to hear from gay couples who lived during a time when maintaining a relationship was much more difficult. It’s also nice to see the old (young) AC from his ABC days.

I absolutely adore Anderson Cooper. What a great story, he is a great news reporter and writer, and one of the best gay role models for young gay men. I am so proud of him after watching this.

Ah, the good ol’ days before Coop crawled back in the closet…

But seriously, could those old guys be any cuter?
