Dodging The Question
In her new interview with More magazine, closeted lesbian Jodie Foster is asked about her sexuality in a roundabout way, as she has on previous occasions. And yet again, Jodie fails to speak her truth and be an inspiration to young lesbians and gay men everywhere.
Oh, well. Whatevs. It's still her choice to stay closeted and it's still our right to call her a lezbot.
Here's how it all went down:
"More magazine: Let's talk about your ring.
Jodie Foster: This one? [Proffers left hand] It's Tiffany, an eternity ring.
You're wearing it on your wedding ring finger.
I am. I've always worn a ring. Even taking photos. Even on magazine covers. I don't take it off.
Don't you think wearing a ring like that raises questions?
Well, but that's my life. I thought about this recently: I had a nightmare the other night. Well, anyway. . .
C'mon! Let's hear the nightmare!
I was being interviewed by somebody, like an innocuous [press] junket thing. They were asking me questions about food I liked or whatever. Then they said, [in a high, innocent voice] "Have you ever written any homemade anti-Semitic cards?" And I was like, [horrified] "No!" Then she said, "Come with me," and I realized to myself, "You're so stupid. Haven't you ever seen that 60 Minutes thing where they ask you a banal question? You're not supposed to say yes or no. You're supposed to go, 'Well, that's interesting.' Because if they ask you the banal question, it's because they have some kind of document on you. And now you've got to go! And now the camera's going to follow you!" Then my dream was over. [Pauses and reflects before continuing]
My life is my life. I'm not going to change my life for anybody. I don't have any problems with it. I just don't talk about my health, my dad, who I voted for or what I think of the death penalty, because that would be trivializing my life, selling it for a magazine."
Powerful Words
Separated At Birth
Her life, her choice.
Go Jodi!
Perez..maybe it is no ones business! Not everyone is a dirty fat ass like you!
HAHAHA
FIRST>>>>
Why did you choose to say "..young lesbians and gay men" ? Why is gay an adjective for men, but homosexual women are somehow different altogether and termed as "lesbians"?
1st bitches
she so is (2nd)
15th
is she really one could never tell nowadays. everyone is undercover. lets embrace it there is nothing wrong with being gay jodie, you'd probably get more hooks ups if you let it out

HAHAHAHA
Her kids have her and her partner's surname. I wonder, why she can't talk about it openly. It wouldn't sell any more magazine 'cos everyone knows she's a lesbian.
You're right, Perez, she could be a role model for others but she obviously doesn't want to. What a pity.
first
I love Jodie Foster! But she walks like a man!
Wouldn't it be a lot easier to say "I eat snatch, what of it?" than make up this long, contrived, bullshit dream where she makes anti-semitic greeting cards and whatnot?
For the love of God, just come out of the big lezzie closet, Jodie!!!!
Such A Pity!
She could be a great role model for so many.
Jodi Foster is a first class biatch and a lesbian. KEEP ON OUTING THE CLOSET CELEBS PEREZ…THEY MORE THAN DESERVE IT.
She might want to think about changing her life BEFORE she dies. She will be on her knees begging for forgiveness. It will be too late, though. She has been given such an incredible gift by Jesus Christ, but she is slapping God right in the face. What a PRIDEFUL FOOL. God, help her and all others who are plagued with a hard heart. Homosexuality is a gross perversion, people! Although, she is not going to hell for committing this sin, she is going because she, along with all other atheists, mock the Most-High.
Leave her alone, Perez. She doesn't want to talk about it, and you need to accept that. Get off her case.
Do gay people STILL need inspiration? Are there not enough people waving the flag now? Come on, being gay in 2007 is NOT A BIG DEAL. I'm a lesbian, and if you're still using GAY to define who you are, it's rather sad.
Leave her alone.
it's not her damn job to a role model for anyone! EVERYONE has a right to share what they want with whom they want. Get over yourselves!
i respect that she's visciously guarded her privacy, and can see how that has paid off, and i suppose we shouldn't have to anounce our sexuality (I'M HETERO!), but i still wish she'd just say she's in love with a woman. i don't know, i guess she shouldn't have to… but she is a celeb… imagine if all the other celebs never showed their significant others- it would be weird, right? i mean, she never arrives with a date…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WHO CARES~~~~~~~~~~
Leave her alone, you busybody. Everything IS NOT Everyone's bidniz.
and #6, You will never be happy with the word of the day. just mesh them all toghether already
homolesbogaytriceratopo oriented. You just want something to argue about. You don't give a crap about being married you just want the term "marriage" because you can't have it. Make one up, and I promise I won't want it.
WTF! Defamer.com had more fun with this quote than you. And you're fucking kidding yourself. As a queer kid myself, I know who the gays are, I don't need them to be publicly out if they don't want to because I know how hard it is to be gay. I can still admire people like Jodie and Anderson because although they're not out publicly I know that they've fought homophobia in their own life - how else could they get so far. They obviously don't hide who they are in their day to day life. That's what counts.
Look you are the problem gay boy! Nobody cares who's gay or not! Why the hell do you? Keep up the funny shit with our little drug whores but leave good people alone!!
FURTHERMORE, She doesn't have to be a role model for your loser youth. RAISE YOUR OWN KIDS!!!!!! Why do you need them to emulate someone they don't know. What a bunch of retards you are.
and #15, she doesn't say she likes snatch to you, the world, because it's NUNYA BIDNEZ!!!!!!!
my mom looks exactly like her…………..
haha
she should just come out
honestly who cares?
she'll get more support than anything else
:D
Who's therrrrrrrrrrrrrre??????
NUNYA.
Nunya who?
NUNY'ALL'S BIDNEZ.
the pictures look like two different people.
oh my god she's gay..ewwww.thats why she walk like a man.
#19 That just about says it all.
# 19 way to display God's Love
Good girl Jodie!
It is no ones business but hersandits certainlynotthemost interestingthing about her.She values herprivacyandfeelsnoneedtostandon the rooftopandyellabout her sexuality
I agree with her position on that issue. I would do the same. She fuckin rocks!
DOES HER SEXUAL PREFERENCE EVEN MATTER? WHO CARES…GAY STRAIGHT…BI….WHATEVER. SHE'S A GREAT ACTRESS.
MYSPACE.COM/SILVERSIDEBAND
Dodging the oh too publc question is utterly classy to me!
That's EXACTLY what I'm talking about. GOOD JOB JODY! I really admire how in control of her life she seems to be. If she is closeted, the perception that I have of Jody is that she'll come out when SHE feels she should.
As for being a role model, that, she already is…to EVERYONE who is a fan of hers…whether they're gay or not. People who insist that public figures SHOULD or COULD be some kind of role model probably need some sort of role model themselves. Look in the mirror…what kind o role model are you?
BTW—Lesbians ROCK!!!!
Ain't a damn thing wrong w/that. You go Sister! Love Chastity Bono & love Jodie Foster = equally. Thank god Lesbians don't get vicious & bitter like most Gay men…
she's great. she wants to keep her private life private.
more stars should be the same.
Who makes you judge on someone because you think they are gay or not. Your such a fat bitch. It would be impossible for you to not just admit it. But show some respect for people who aren't ready. Not all of gays wanna be lumped in a group with your flamboyant ass!!! lol
Jodie Foster's closetedness repulses me, as an openly gay man. She's hiding one of the most important aspects of her life and identity. And no it's not about sex. It's about family and love. How can she live with herself? How can her partner live with her? How can Jodie justify staying closeted in an age, still, when gay people are beaten up, discriminated against, and even killed for being who they are? Yet she stays quiet, in her golden cocoon, and rakes in more of the millions for making her movies? It's utterly disgusting. I have no respect for her and never will.
Good on her! Why should she have to answer the question just to satisfy the curiousity of others? If she is, she is. If she's not, she's not. As long as she's happy. And who could blame her for not wanting to be followed relentlessly by the paparazzi, harrassing her, her friends, her family, her KIDS. She answer's the question pretty clearly acutally. The answer is, no matter what sexuality she is, she's HAPPY.
Leave her be! Society has enough people to look for inspiration. The only people I strive to inspire are family and close friends. No offense to Jodie, but she's a damn actress who whores herself out for YOUR money. Let these whores pull money out of YOUR pocket and you go ahead and enjoy what they do best. Give you whoregasms without having to clean up afterwards. Let them be an inspiration in their personal life.
lmao so because you claim she's a lesbian which she maybe who cares but how can her coming out be a role model for gay's and lesbians??? get a fucking life her coming out is gonna change the world right dumbass people
HEY ANGIE…#19…YOU STINKIN UNCHRISTIN PHUCKIN BIATCH. WHEN YOU'RE ROTTING IN THE GROUND I'LL BE LAUGHING. YOU ARE A FIRST RATE KUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
POWERFUL
a) Who cares what her sexual orientation is?
b) Who are we to judge whether or not she discusses it?
If I were her, I'd stop doing interviews altogether until people stopped asking. It's no ones business but hers, and it has no bearing on her ability to act.
Why does she have to be gay or straight!! Can't she just not want sex??? There's more to life than spreading one's legs.
wise up!
Hey #42 - she's not closeted. Her family and close friends know exactly who she is. Why does she have to talk about it to the press? Are you disgusted because she hasn't come out to you personally? Get over yourself. Why should anyone's sexuality define who they are as a person? It's quite sad that being gay is what defines you.
Lay off Jodie Perez!!!!! She doesn't want to tell, let go your resentment. Besides, you are all the inspiration young lesbians and gay men need in this world today.
Jodie is a breath of fresh air. There is absolutely no need for a public disclosure of her love life. It is a private matter between her and her partner. Wish more people had her scruples. She is truly a class act.
It her business isn't it? I could care less, she is a great actress and I don't care who she is in love with her personal life. Personal Life - Career - two different things Perez! You're out and you are not a inspiration to anyone, kind of an embrassment to the gay community!
She's got more money than god and NO FUCKING BALLS. I'd not hire her till she came out of the fucking closet.
Aren't you missing a Klan rally or something? What are you doing on such a SINFUL blog? I don't know, THERE MAY BE HOPE FOR YOU YET!!! I hope you didn't go to Reverend Taggard's church, you know, he was the one getting "massages" from male escorts.
i am laughing that she's so guarded with her privacy. then why the fuck is she being interviewed at all then? Oh, to promote a movie. She doesn't mind selling out to promote a movie
#56 was for #19!!! Sorry, darlings.
She should never talk about her kids then (which she does), if she wants to keep her domestic partner in the shadows like she's ashamed of her. At least be consistent Jodie, you overrated, pretentious twat. Oh, reminds me, she said she didn't vote for Brokeback Mountain to win the Oscar, she said didn't even bother to watch it. Closet-case cunt.
Perez- I have always loved Jody Foster! I love her whether she is gay or straight! I like her even more that she stands her ground and understands the importance of privacy. Not everyone has to wear their sexuality on their sleeve and flaunt it in everyone's face. I'm not saying that you can't flaunt your sexuality of you choose to….especially if you are pole dancing….but I can admire those that declare my life is mine and it's none of your business.
She wears flip flops to events?? She's DEFINITELY gay.
Perez, not everyone live in La La Land. People have real lives, real families, real jobs and real issues. Who gave you the job as the Gay Police? Stop Playing God with peoples lives, show some respect, understanding and compasion. Not everyone is an advocate. There are many other ways of normalizing the relationships between same sex partners than forcing people into a public forum that they are not prepared for. You are putting people at risk and I don't think you get it!
Jodie is a strong, sexy, intelligent woman and talented too. She doesn't have to be a role model for anyone because she's gay, how about because she's fly?
What do you mean would "be and inspiration" she IS an inspiration to many. Just cuz she isn't a no-talent media whore you think something is wrong with her…she doesn't owe you a goddamn thing. Work Bitch! I loves me some Jodie Foster. That lady is the definition of CLASS!
I bet it is hell for her lover living with this control-freak bitch, like she doesn't exist. Her girlfriend not only has to live in a closet she's probably locked up in one. Being Jodi Foster's lover would be like being Catherine Deneuve's lover in "The Hunger."
SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO COME OUT BECAUSE YOU WANT HER TO, PEREZITO! Get off her back!
you are going to hell
Actually even her feet look dykey.
Jodi is coy, cool, and intelligent. I can't stand the lesbians who think she is a sell out. Hey, someone's sexuality is THEIR business whether they are gay, straight, bi or asexual. How many stars go around saying "I'm hetero"? Not necessary. She knows how to have her wonderful life and to keep it private at the same time.
Let her lick pussies in private. That's her choice. Not everyone needs to be outed.
This just makes her look ignorant! Because let's face it…EVERYONE KNOWS YOU'RE GAY JODIE FOSTER!!!
EVERYONE!!
The man who works at my corner liquor store knows!
My co-workers know!
Even my 80-year old grandparents in the Midwest know!
JUST COME OUT!
You look ridiculous spending your entire life dodging the question!
I feel sorry for your children to have two mothers that won't stand tall and proud of who they are!
So I assume since you don't admit it, your children aren't allowed to either?!?!
What happens when your children's friends ask, "You have two mothers? So I assume they're gay, right?"
What's Charlie supposed to say, "Ummm…I'm not allowed to disclose that information. It only trivalizes my life."
LOL!
You're stupid Jodie Foster!
The Gay "Uber" culture is becoming as hateful as the Black "Uber" culture. Neither let people breath. The media "Voice" of each culture calls the shots — regardless of what the "individual" desires. The biggest problem today for Blacks and Gays is — Blacks and Gays. All the goodwill which talented people who went before engendered is being totally squandered by the lunatic fringe.
Sadly, that includes Perez - who feels he has a "right" to define those who have a public life.
This just makes her look ignorant! Because let's face it…EVERYONE KNOWS YOU'RE GAY JODIE FOSTER!!!

her life her choice absolutely
some people just arent professional gays, ala Perez.
i mean, get over it already.
uh. i don't really care about her sexual orientation, however, i do want to know wtf she's talking about. "banal" means 'unimaginative' or 'over-repeated'…
Heres a bunch of peopel who DONT need to asked about being Gay BECAUSE WE ALREADY KNOW THEY ARE.

Very interesting commentary. Coming out is not trivializing onseself; but, in fact, helping others who may have institutionalized perceptions of what gay is and is not in America. We in larger cities often forget the struggles fought by young gay teens in rural America. A HUGE celebrity such as Ms. Foster could potentially help so many people in their own personal struggles by coming out and sending the message that sexual identity and gender preference is not a choice, but innate in every human being. I hold out hope that she will do the right thing. bragirlwpb@msn.com
Way to go Perez, take a shot at someone who gets it. A lot of us out here don't care about the very things she doesn't want to discuss. It's called maintaining your privacy. I watch her movies because she is talented and doesn't make a public ass out of herself. Who cares about who she sleeps with.
It's nobody's fucking business. An inspiration my ass. Saying that is just like admitting gays have some sort of inevitable fault that you buy into.
#19 —- YOU ROCK!!! I love that you tell it like it IS!!!
I admire Jodie for living openly with her family, yet refusing to whore her privacy to the media. She supports by example. She does not owe any group any part of her privacy. I am sure Merv felt the same way.
Gay or not, in this day and age, it is one thing to be an alleged heterosexual movie star living with (or married to) a woman if you are actually gay and then to continually DENY you are gay or sue everyone in the media who SAYS you are. It's quite another to actually BE gay but not confirm or deny and to live a private life. It's not that the person is homophobic or NOT wanting to be a gay role model. They're just private people and choose to remain so. And in this day and age of celebrity whoredom, that is a noble trait indeed.
I like the way she talks about keeping her private life private.
She explains that "selling" her private life, would trivialize it.
Actually, the way she explains herself kind of makes her a rolemodel to me:
the type of role-model that is not a media whore.
I think she is awesome. She isn't whoring for anyone, even lesbians. That's the ticket.
#19, and #80 you sound like such loving people. I am sure you follow the golden rule to a T. You know the one that says do unto others the way you would have yourself treated. I am so glad their are people like you ALIVE.
When will you realize all these people care about is THEMSELVES and MONEY$$$$.
They dont give a fuck about YOU/"The Public"/fans.
All they care about is making as much money as they can. And they CERTAINLY are not going to fuck that up by admitting they are gay.
Get a clue.
Plus, no redeck is going to become a loving caring person just because Jodi admits shes gay.
Why is her dress white in one pic and light blue in the other…isn't it 2 pics from the same event??
oh hell pee pee, stop now before you start to obsess and hate like you've done with a ton of celebs who don't even know your name. you trashing people with class just makes you look even more hideous, if that's possible. you are soooo small.
Or just maybe… her partner doesn't want to be in the public eye or hates the oscars…
For the posters who are so passionate about defending Jodie Foster's right to privacy, why the fuck are ya'll on this website, dumbasses?!!
If Jodie Foster feels so strongly about her privacy, she should fuckin' quit Hollywood and stop doing interviews.
Jodie Foster (and Anderson Cooper) should NOT expect support from the GLBT community.
Jodie Foster and Cheney's lesbo daughter are hypocritical bitches!!
Who cares if she is gay straight or purple? How about the fact that she is a great actress? I really feel it's non of our buisness it's not like she is a Britney or Paris running around asking for people to be in her buisness. Whats wrong with keeping her PRIVATE life PRIVATE? I do love the gays however sometimes when they make a big deal about their sexuality it kind of ruins it for me and makes them kissing the opposite sex on TV (T.R. Knight or whatever his name is) less believable. Same can be said for the straight couples the media stalks though. Either way I think its great for a woman not to be airing her personal life for the world to scrutinize, gay or straight.
By the way # 19 if there is a hell you have a first class ticket
Yeah, I've always figured she was gay, I mean you never see her(ever) with a man or anybody for that matter. And she adopted a child so that means that she probably never planned on having one of her own. But why would she hide it? I mean everybody is totally cool with all the other lesbians, Portia and Ellen for example. I think people would think more of her if she just admitted to it.
I respect that.
Good call, Sarai! TR Knight's scenes on GA are so unbelieveable. Hollywood is illusion, it's hard for gays to get straight roles, so they lie. they all should and creeps like peepee get bitchslapped for outing them. i hate the way gays flaunt their sex choice, it should be a private matter.
Jodie has a backbone and won't cave to gays that bash her for being independent. There are plenty of politically active gays. Not all gay teens will choose to come out, and they need strong role models too.
Who cares if Jodie Foster is gay or not. That should not define who she is or what kind of a person she is. I think she is smart and a wonderful actress!
IF I WAS INTO VAG, I WOULD MUNCH THAT!
Not every lesbian wants to be a role model.
Some just want to get on with their lives and be mums, and partners, and people.
Why is someone's sexuality so improtant to you perez? It's invasive, rude and you should be slapped.
the gay community needs and deserves to have representatives like jodie foster and anderson cooper. the fact that they are well respected, successful and have many fans would help take down gay stereotypes and help educate people as to what being gay is. what a shame that in this day and age people still have to be afraid of being who they are.
hey idiot, a president was nearly killed because hinkley was obsessed with her. she has a right to feel insecure about people knowing her private life!
