CNN Commentator Sally Kohn Sparks Controversy With ‘I Want My Kid To Be Gay’ Essay

Writer, activist and CNN political commentator Sally Kohn is feeling the heat after penning a Feb. 20 column in The Washington Post titled “I’m gay. And I want my kid to be gay, too.”

Kohn, who joined CNN last year after a stint at Fox News and lives in Brooklyn, New York, writes:

…Being gay opened my eyes to the world around me. Learning that not every gay person had it as good as I did helped me realize that a lot of people in general didn’t have it as good as I did. I wouldn’t be a politically engaged human being, let alone an activist, writer and TV personality, if I weren’t gay.

Dear people, please read my @washingtonpost piece a bit more carefully before accusing me of things I didn’t write — http://t.co/yqZk78RWqZ
