I do not foresee his sexal orientation being a problem in raising a "child." Throughout this painful ordeal, he's shown how big of a heart he has, how much he cares for human lives.
He did things that he wasn't obligated to do. I'm sure there will be some controversial opinions, but at the end of the day, we should get a grip of our emotions and look outside of the box, and see people for who they really are. As a straight man, Anderson Cooper has earned my respect and I believe he'll be a fine parent to an Haitian orphan.
