Well, with a celebrity it is a bit weird, of course. But still it can matter all the world whether a celebrity comes out as gay, it's not always something that just *is*. People need representation and role models; I cannot begin to explain what seeing Jodie Foster as a closeted teen meant to me.

That's a good point, representation is so important. The element of having a public reputation and career dependent upon it as such does give it a certain weight - by saying it just *is* I don't mean to say it isn't important.
