Foster may have only sort-of come out, and that made gays and lesbians angry, because they are tired of these sort of half-truths. But honestly, she is right — she shouldn’t have had to come out at all. She had been living openly as a partnered lesbian. For years. Why didn’t the mainstream media report on that?

i dont know why ppl are angry other than that they place unrealistic and unfair expectations on public figures and when reality prevails their little go bubbles are popped. certainly actors have power, but they are not obligated to be everyone's saviors and jodie foster was not and is not obligated to any of us to be anything other that who and what she is. her career is a separate entity.
