Jodie Foster reveals she's gay
Jodie Foster came out without really coming out, and suggested she was retiring from acting without exactly saying so, in a long, breathless and rambling speech at Sunday night's Golden Globe Awards.

I think if you want privacy you become an accountant. Publicity and your life being under the microscope is what acting and Hoolywood are all about. If being gay is to be "private" that indicates that there is something of which to be ashamed. I realize that things were different years ago, but we are living in a time when actors are coming out all of the time and still getting work.

I only watched a bit of the speech, on the web. It seemed both spacey and smug. Plus, I also wanted to say, get over it. This was like, say, me coming out as Caucasian. What, she didn't know that everyone already knew?
