The site outed Cook in 2008, six years before he came out officially.

“You started a conversation that was not on television when you began,” the former Daily Show host told Wilmore on his last show.

Peter Thiel must be smiling today, as the out publisher of Gawker had to go bankrupt to pay Hulk Hogan $140M.

In 2007, a Gawker article outed the billionaire Paypal cofounder as gay.

Shortly after publication, the post drew the ire of media personalities, who accused the author of blackmail, “gay shaming,” and unnecessarily outing a married man.

Elton, the pit bull whose story went viral after he was dumped at a Tennessee animal shelter earlier this week because his former owner thought he was “gay,” has found a new loving home.
