Anderson Cooper Hosts Gay Party, Danny O’Donnell Gets Married To Longtime Partner

It was just another Saturgay in New York.

Downtown, Anderson Cooper hosted a birthday party for gay party promoter Josh Wood at his West Village apartment, reports the Daily News. Farther uptown at East 59th Street’s Guastavino’s, Assemblyman Danny O’Donnell (below) tied the knot with John Banta, his partner of 31 years.

Danny’s famous sister Rosie brought along her four kids and her new fiancee Michelle Rounds, with whom Rosie wants to have a fifth child. Also attending was a Who’s Who of New York State political royalty: Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Sen. Charles Schumer, and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver.

And, while we haven’t gotten our hands on the guestlist from Anderson’s gay bash, the News does tell us he was “really social at the party [and] talked to all of his guests.” A regular Chatty Kathy, eh? Doesn’t surprise us.
