As for the actual speech, I thought she was going to say "I am gay" because I knew she was, and instead all the buildup led to "I'm single." Basically, she very publicly announced her divorce/split from her partner. That part was news to me.

She did come out 5 years ago, so we're all cool now, right? She fulfilled her duties?

I give her a pass because she never denied it or dated men as a cover. She knew everyone knew, and there was no need to go on tv and talk about it.

Seriously. Give her a fucking break. Everybody knew she was a lesbian for over two decades, to the public she officially came out five years ago, and this was a rehearsed speech from an actor.

Exactly how many fucking times does a person need to come out? Her family knew. Her former partner knew. Her kids knew. Her friends and coworkers knew. Everybody knew. She made a statement in 2007 in case anybody was really worried that she wasn't out enough. There were articles all over the fucking place about her coming out.

Blasting her for not being out is ludicrous when she already came out.

Shame on Jodie.

If she had come out 10 or even 5 years ago it would have made a big impact. Despite her relationship breakdown which is hardly unusual in Hollywood, she is a positive role model for the queer community.

All she had to say was "I am gay, I am proud and happy with who I am. PS, I'm single."

One reason for guarding her privacy so intently was because she was the victim of stalkers earlier in her career, including John Hinckley, the man who shot President Reagan.

Apparently American journalists don't know how to use Google before writing a story.

Search for "Jody Foster Gay". Here's the fourth entry:

The Onion, on the other hand, was perfect.

"Jodi was here, I still am, and I want to be seen, to be understood deeply and to be not so very lonely"
