After Revealing He Is Gay, CNN’s ‘Objective’ Don Lemon Asks Network to Support Others ‘Who Choose to Come Out’

Filed under: Politics |


CNN anchor Don Lemon grabbed headlines over the weekend with his twitter announcement that he is gay. On Monday his co-workers provided plenty of time for him to share his story and his own views on the issue, and showered him in sympathy. As if that wasn't enough, he asked them in turn to do the same for others “who choose to come out.” “I really appreciate all the support, and I hope you continue to support not only me, but other people who choose to come out,” Lemon told afternoon Newsroom host Brooke Baldwin. In the past, Lemon has himself provided a podium for gay rights activists to makes themselves heard though he claims objectivity on the issue.
