I suppose better late than never, but I find it really too shameful for someone leading so public a life to have acted with such shame for too long.

Mmm mmm! There's no way I'd be with someone who expected me to be invisible to the world. I tell you what. I'm glad she's finally out.
:)

I wonder if this might finally encourage Tom Cruise to do the same... ;)

You really think she stayed in the closet out of shame? I mean, everyone who knew her knows, it isn't like she was IN the closet anyway. I'd feel a little odd discussing my sexuality with the media.

Public aknowledgement and outright denial are two different things. Yeah, it's sad that she didn't come out earlier, because she IS such a great role model, but I don't think she should be condemned for her choice.

Perez Hilton and others want to force people PUBLICALLY out of the closet, and that is something that is normally a very personal decision.

Listen, what other reason is there? She chose to be a frelling MOVIE STAR. And ya know, her personal choices are her own. And I'll concede that being a movie star does not equate with giving up your privacy entirely.

But I don't admire her for staying "officially" closeted while famous. And I think the same of all the other famous closet cases.

Is there anyone who actually thought she was straight?

I'm guessing the two kids she popped out might have engendered some doubt in some circles.

Hell, when I saw "Freaky Friday" as a kid, I knew she was gay, and I didn't even fully understand what gay was back then. ;)

Well, I know a certain someone that isn't fooling anybody, and I still think it's shameful (and in his case, absurd) for him to be in the closet (though I respect the choice as his alone).
