The only Republican celebrity I recall receiving backlash is Stacy Dash, which is hilarious, because I didnt think anyone cared that much about a celebrity's politics. Let Ellen Page live. I didnt have any feelings towards who she loves anyway. Still, good for her! |
DuBaiSis really said "some symptoms." Oh.

The gossip about plenty of actors and actresses has been spinning for years. When they finally come out it's a "shrug" kind of moment. I'm in the IDGAF camp and wish people would just go on about their lives without making announcements. |

It is what it is. I'm sure most don't want to announce it, but they feel like they have to, or else deal with a media circus and end up on the front page of every magazine with the headline, "Is he/she gay?!?!?!?!" |

However, I am looking forward to the day when it doesn't have to be big news when a celebrity/someone prominent comes out. |
I don't know the sexual orientation of the GCers in this thread, but along the lines of what Jen said:
Heterocentrism allows heterosexuals to nonchalantly say "I don't care...people need to stop announcing" OR "they need to just 'come out of the closet'...hurry up." Power groups like heterosexuals always feel the need to weigh-in and "give permission" as though homosexuals are waiting for heterosexuals' seal of approval. In response to ASTAlumna06's post: Arguably, normal everyday people make an "announcement" every time we use gendered language when talking about dating/relationships and when we do things like go out in public with people we date. That doesn't automatically equate to our sexual orientation(s) but it gives people an idea even if we are being dishonest and not forthcoming. I've told this story before on GC but I've had people get uncomfortable, annoyed, and even angry at me because I didn't announce the gender of my Significant Other (I usually use language like "Significant Other" and "Partner"). There are people who obviously breathed a sigh of relief (and told me they now feel more comfortable) when they met my Significant Other and realize it is a biological-male and gender-man. I wanted to cuss these homophobic people out but these are typically semi-professional environments. Darn. |
Hal Holbrook was married to Dixie Carter for years & she doesn't seem like the type to live her life as a beard, so I don't know where trollco is getting that one.

I don't like long nails and keep my finger nails short. I once went to the nail salon for a French manicure and she said "bitch, please." Does that mean...could it mean...possibly.... https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...DchXRXTSx9RnX_ |

I don't think it really matters if people are surprised by it or not--it's not about that. It takes a great deal of bravery to admit it whether people already knew or not (and certainly most people didn't), and even though Hollywood is more liberal than a lot of America, she's still risking plenty. Openly gay or lesbian actors still don't get leading roles. Hopefully this is one of the things that starts to change that. |
I was just wondering whether most people would say something like DubaiSis said. Instead, most of you read gossip columns. Those darn gossip columns.
Technically, "hooking up" doesn't reveal sexual orientation just as someone can be married to someone of a different sex and gender and still be homosexual. |

In other news, I didn't know who Ellen Page is. And I saw Juno. :o |
