DreamWorks co-founder and music mogul David Geffen tops a list of the 50 Most Powerful Gay Men and Women in America released Monday by the gay publication Out magazine. A brief profile of Geffen quotes producer Howard Rosenman as having once remarked, "If you're his enemy, you might as well kill yourself." Placing second on the list is CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, whose rise "heralded the simultaneous demise of the Dan Rather-Tom Brokaw era of dry efficiency." The magazine made no mention of the fact that Cooper has steadfastly refused to discuss his sexual orientation. Third on the list is someone who certainly has done so -- Ellen DeGeneres. "The fact that seemingly everyone loves an out-and-proud lesbian makes her powerful -- that and the $65 million she's reportedly worth," the magazine said.
