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.
