However, those interviews also gave us a closure look at Gloria Vanderbilt as a mother. She opened herself up in those interviews and expressed her feelings about losing a child and learning the truth that her son Anderson Cooper is gay.
Gloria Vanderbilt’s son, named Carter, had done suicide at the age of 23. No mother ever wants to survive more than her children, but Gloria Vanderbilt has eyewitnessed Carter’s dive from the 14th floor of her apartment in New York.

Gloria Vanderbilt son, Anderson Cooper’s sexuality, was also a topic for the interview at that time. When Anderson was in college, he came up to his mother and said the truth that he grew up surrounded by his gay friends.
Gloria also told that she was afraid when people claimed and accused her bisexual mother of being a lesbian. At those initial times, it was a crime, a sin, for being a lesbian or gay. She thought that she might also carry the inherited genes. However, she had no idea about what it was at that age.
Gloria Vanderbilt also added that she wished for being a lesbian as she trusts women and believes that men are more mysterious. Meanwhile, Gloria Vanderbilt’s son replied that men are not so mysterious. She also mentioned in the interview that she stays in love always. If not a person, then a flower or sunset as love is everything you need.
