When New York did a "Gay Life Now" issue in 2001, only seven of the forty prominent New York gays asked to pose for the cover were willing. Those big shots may have been gay, and they may have been out, but it just wouldn't do for them to be gay and out on the cover of a magazine. "There was a time when the closet was a necessary safe haven," our pal Maer Roshan, who edited the issue, wrote in an angry 2,000-word essay. "But now, it exists as an anachronistic monument to shame. It's time for our public figures to stop hiding in there — and for journalists to stop helping them." Six years and a month later, maybe at least that second part has come true. Here's a first glimpse at the cover of Out magazine's "50 Most Powerful Gay Men and Women in America" issue. (Click here for a larger image.) Those are models holding Jodie Foster and Anderson Cooper masks on the cover. Neither, of course, would appear themselves.

Amen! The media is angry because these 'closeted' folks don't want to use their homosexuality to force changes in laws that the activists believe will benefit other, less powerful homosexuals.
What? She's not gay. Heck, I've seen her in the act with a gu...
Whisper.
Oh. Different Hilton? Nevermind.
Good question. I guess I just got a curmudgeon overload or something. I never thought I'd be a curmudgeon, but it's getting easier and easier every day. I'll probably end up like COL Tigh on Battlestar Galactica before I'm 40. lol
Yup, she’s a lesbo.
Nah, Jodie Foster long ago created her own production company so as to make her OWN opportunities in Hollywood. She is one smart businesswoman, and will continue to have a solid career long after the sweet young thangs have lost their looks, which is all most of them have going for them.
Not true. The Green River Killer, Gary Ridgway, confessed to 48 murders, all women.
Happens to all of us...
*shrug* If you’re gay, survival of the species isn’t even on the top of your list, is it?
Most of them on that list were under 25 victims, so they would not make the list. But it seems the top six would make the list. So about 6 out of 12 of the top mass murderers would be gay. I guess you can’t believe everything you find on the internet. Even still, gays are well represented.
Everyone thinks she is but she has never said it. I am sick of people forcing people out. They do that on FREEPERS to all the time and I think it is sickening. I don’t want to know who is gay and who is not. FREEPERS has this facination with Richard Simmons. He has never said he was gay, but most FREEPERS think so. I don’t think it is the conservative ones though because conservatives would not want to know one way or the other, but it is the DU trolls who say these things.
LOL
What good is this list if it doesnt have Sanjaya on it?
Wrong. You are spreading rumors. She has never came out of the closet and never said anything about a partner. You need to bring out the proof of your distortions.
If a person was not, wouldn’t they vehemently deny it? Threaten to sue for defamation, etc?.......If a person is, and just wants to be left alone, they’d ignore it or evade the question, altogether........
Truthfully you would not get near the pro-gay/anti-gay or muslim threads if you were not part of FREEPERS. Before FREEPERS, I would not hear anything about these outlandish stories. Since FREEPERS, you do tend to hear stories that other people don’t know about or ever hear.
Please provide the thread where Jodie Foster said she was gay. Don’t say it unless you can prove it.
After all, he is more well known than Barney Frank.
I never would have guessed.
This is a list of sodomites, not transvestites.
