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.

Shameful? Jodi Foster is a private citizen. She is not some barbie doll who's personal life is there for your pleasure. What she chooses to share and more importantly what she or anyone else choose not to share with the public is no ones business. There is no shame at all in having a private life.

I stand by his comment.. and ...

I might also state that there are a great many people who have always thought her to be straight, and will think this a publicity stunt.

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.

I agree! Just because a person is famous doesn't mean they have to share every little piece of themselves with the world. I'm sure famous people would like some semblance of privacy.

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?
