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.

Disneyphile · 12-13-2007, 12:49 PM

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?

innerSpaceman · 12-13-2007, 01:09 PM

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

Disneyphile · 12-13-2007, 01:10 PM

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.

innerSpaceman · 12-13-2007, 01:12 PM

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).
