Anderson Cooper is auctioning himself off as a date! Go wild guys!

But calm down for a second, because it’s just for lunch. Not the steamy candlelit dinner you dreamed about last night. But hopefully it’s lunch at Michael’s and you can at least pretend to be part of the media elite.

Now I’ve never been attracted to The Coop. I think he has no lips and looks kind of like a skinny WASP in a way that would just mean a lot of sharp edges to deal with in bed. Doesn’t look like fun to me. But I really hope he fetches a pretty penny because it’s for a very important cause, Bailey House. However, if I was to hang out and get wasted with any news caster though, it would be Diane Sawyer. That lady seems like a fun drunk. (Side note: What’s with me and LOLgraphics recently?)

But on a serious note guys, it’s a really great thing that The Coop is willing to use his celebrity to try and get funded for an organization that provides services such as Bailey House. In this economy, critical budget cuts are destroying critical services in HIV education, prevention, and care that could have an extreme impact on the gay community. As private funders for non profit services began to dry up, the city has reduced up to 42% of it’s funding for HIV/AIDS services, hitting city funded housing especially hard, and St. Vincent’s HIV center has been forced to close it’s landmark PrEP program. Hats off the Anderson Cooper, a celebrity who has never issued a public statement about his homosexuality, for putting his name on the line for a cause often associated with LGBT communities during a very critical time. The full auction index is here.
