Jodie Foster Finally Comes Out!

[Chernabog]

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.
