Jodie Foster thanks 'my beautiful Cydney' and comes out

[vgranger1]

The reporter on the right simply and beautifully explained why sexuality shouldn't matter (in the world of acting), "It is acting after all."

[whygothic]

any new movie for 2012?

[keno8spot]

ive always liked jodie

i knew she was gay 20+ years ago makes no difference to me

[Yankeegator]

More F'ed up Western Women...

[coolflame18]

at what point in that speech did she come out????

[buckleygeneration]

This isn't necessarily a coming out.

[robertsnowden19]

Damn Jodie foster is hot. Sucks that she isn't interested in men.

[TheInternetIscruel]

No man is good enough for Jodie Foster.

[giaisbomb]

@TheInternetIscruel ---NO DOUBT.....

[christianacelife80]

@TheInternetIscruel i agree

[Aiyuri100]

I'm so happy Jodie's a lesbian whoots! hottie! 

[lionlove1986]

CNN broad-casted this stupid info she is gay & so ???

What a stupid world in which we're living in

Why gays should come out ??

[KidsWithGuns1992]

I don't understand why there's even a news segment on this - who gives a fuck if Jodie Foster is gay? Shit there isn't big news things about other actors saying "BREAKING NEWS 'SO-AND-SO' IS STRAIGHT!!!"

People need to snap out of their conservative bullshit and grow up. The media is fucked.

[samsam24242]

she is not gay she didn't say that..stop saying jodie is lesbian..

[Aprinsa]

@samsam24242 Stop saying she isn't. She didn't say that. And certainly doesn't live it.

[Midasthe2nd]

that was a shocker. i love jodie foster no matter what.

[Aprinsa]

Why is it always fine for straight actresses to play lesbians, but not for lesbians to play straight characters? Everyone has known that Jodie Foster is lesbian for at least 15 years of so. I remember my dad telling me that when we were watching a film with her in it when I was a kid. Didn't mean anything to me back then as I wasn't old enough to think about sexuality.

[comanchio1976]

@Aprinsa What an odd thing to casually tell your child!

[Aprinsa]

@comanchio1976 How is that odd?

[comanchio1976]

@Aprinsa Maybe it's being British with our famous reserve. But I can't imagine casually mentioning someone's sexuality to my child who's not old enough to understand..while watching a film! Unless they asked of course.

[Ilkamy]

Judie did it... Respect!

Thanks for uploading this interview. Very true words by Kiki King...

I watch a film because it has a good theme... or because it's my favourite director/actress/actors...

Definitely not because of the sexual preferences of actresses/actors! But I can imagine that the mainstream in America still does it, because their conventions tell them to do so.

Rulers know why they don't invest too much in education...

This would make people's mind more aware. It's not wanted.

[adoptatellytubbie]

her being gay does not make me up her respect for her it just makes me more proud of her strength

[apologeticsman]

Gays really rejoice when they find out someone is gay, especially if the person is famous or influential. Misery loves company I guess. I feel for gays, they miss out on so much, including eternity in heaven.

[sanyikamtl]

Cydney Bernard is so ugly she should get a prettier gf

[smilestar213]

@sanyikamtl

OMG!! ur really cruel to write such thing

about someone that u don t know BAN

don t u know that beauty is in heart

[sanyikamtl]

lol it's just that Jodie Foster is fucking sexy and intelligent, If she is a lesbian it's great for her but I'd like to see her with a sexy woman as well not Cydney Berdnard ...

[GoblinSlasher]

Shhiiieyyett!

I didnt know shes lezzo, but I dont care, shes still an awesome actress and a Smokin' Hottie FO SHO!

[gunsmithbasic]

am i too naive to say that maybe she isn't gay? I mean she hasn't fully come out and she says cydney is her "friend". There are reasons for being private other than being a closetted homosexusl. All of this is none of my business but I don't see why everyone gets to say she is gay

[banksiasong]

gunsmithbasic

Yep, too naïve, but naïveté can be an endearing quality - to a point.

Regardless of her sexual proclivities, we can all enjoy her performances.

[lionlove1986]

i love her gay or not :o))

[banksiasong]

"Conservative middle-America" is the bastion of ugliness, violence and hypocrisy.

More strength to Jodie, her partner, and her two children.

[mdelcamp1]

No, Middle Class Middle America maintains the only moral standards that matter, that enhance individuals, community, values and those prerequisites to a Middle Class life that both the Rich and the Poor completely fail to understand. Maybe that is why sex is for sale among the rich and the poor, alike, Eh, bansiasong?

[banksiasong]

... as well as near psychotic self-delusion ;-)

[apologeticsman]

oh believe me, liberals and gays are violent and full of hatred as much if not more than so called conservative Americans. I have seem several gay rallies where a Christian will be quietly standing to the side handing out gospel tracts and they will be beaten, have objects thrown at them and have all sorts of hateful and proud statements shouted at them, for nothing more than being told they need Jesus! I agree that hatred is a sin, but don't fool yourself, gays are just as hateful

[banksiasong]

@apologeticsman

Hitler, Stalin, George Bush, Ghengis Khan, Mao TzeTung, Mugabe, Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, Jack the Ripper were all HETEROSEXUALS, and are all responsible for murder and torture or mass murder. Heterosexual people are hardly the best example of love, peace and tolerance.

Jodie Foster is a commited artist and internationalist, who has done much to repair the deep and extensive done to the reputation of the US during the GW Bush era.

[banksiasong]

@banksiasong

... who has done much to repair the deep and extensive DAMAGE done to the reputation of the US during the GW Bush era.

[nardo363636]

haha!

[surfer53]

@banksiasong I think the biggest problem in America is that nobody stands for freedom. Everyone has an excuse. You're committing a moral sin, you're being greedy. That's why I became a libertarian because I saw both conservatives and liberals basically trying to control people on different issues. People have a right to their own individual beliefs and way of life, but imposing that belief on others, whether economic or social, doesn't make any sense to me.

[banksiasong]

@surfer53

Bit hard to stand for freedom when the whole fucking country is owned by the Chinese.

[dannothunder44]

Who cares if she is gay or not? She's a damn fine actress. Why is someones sexuality anyone else's business?

[paulatwe]

Well said. It's nobody's fuckin' business. As if i'd care whether my banker, butcher or baker are he, ho or bi. I care about their products and service only.

[pk1lebgirl87]

why r both the girls who played in FREAKY FRIDAY LESBIANS?? thats just strange LOl :S

[badwhodo]

well, only one of them is a real lesbian...

[kjg28]

OMG! They split up! After 14 years...I feel terrible!

[knaplo]

you don't know if it's true.

let's hope not :)

[Muirmaiden]

James Dean was bisexual.

[ktchong]

I approve homosexuality... only if both chicks are hot! :D

[Sensei43]

Kevin Spacey is gay. Whether he is out or not everyone here (in London) knows it and loves him. He is one of the most successful actors in Hollywood.... well, now in London. Others down the years have included Marlon Brando (bisexual), Montgomery Clift, James Dean (conflicted and closeted) and Dirk Bogard, as if that was a secret!

[xXJeTeAimeXx]

as is elton, john and he is amazing. also ellen degeneris is a lesbian, and rosie o'donnel, and robin roberts has been said to be bi. and lindsay lohan, and alot of people
