When Don Lemon revealed to the world in 2011 that he was gay, he admitted he was terrified that exposing his true identity would ruin his illustrious career.'I'm scared,' the anchor said in an interview. 'I'm talking about something that people might shun me for, ostracize me for. It's about the worst thing you can be in black culture. I guess this makes me a double minority now.'As it turned out, Lemon had nothing to fear. If anything, the revelation of his sexuality bolstered his success, as he was embraced at CNN as the poster-boy of the liberal establishment and the network's authority on race as liberal America fell into Trump Derangement Syndrome and demanded collective atonement for any and all past sins.
