Coulter’s hateful remark actually received a round of applause. Her response when later faced with criticism for the comment? “C’mon, it was a joke. I would never insult gays by suggesting that they are like John Edwards. That would be mean.”
If this gives you any perspective on just how extremely conservative Coulter’s views are, a representative for John McCain called her remarks “wildly inappropriate.” Damn.
7. Damian Goddard vs. Anderson Cooper

It’s no secret at this point that CNN reporter Anderson Cooper is openly gay, out, and proud. The newscaster is a household favorite for many Americans, and he was defending both gay and universal rights long before he came out publicly. When one Sportsbet reporter tried to throw some anti-gay shade at the handsome newscaster, Cooper gave him the ultimate slam down.

In April, 2014, Cooper tweeted his support of recently outed D1 basketball player Derrick Gordon: “Watching @flash2gordon speak about being out and proud, he is incredibly courageous and inspiring.”
Damien Goddard saw the tweet and decided he needed to respond to remind Cooper and Gordon that gay is NOT the way. Cooper’s response was priceless.
