That’s not the kind of spectacle that any human being would want attached to his or her sexuality, and the fact that it’s normal for the media to react that way when a celebrity comes out is worth criticizing. I think she disapproves of the process, but not necessarily those who have gone through it.

But that’s not a double standard at all. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart sought to keep their private life private, it was the tabloids that forced it into the open against their wishes. When Jodie Foster decides to announce she’s in a same sex relationship she has shared something Pattinson and Stewart tried to keep quiet.

I see this a lot, where people seem to set a higher standard for celebrities than they do for ordinary people, getting angry that they haven’t been forthcoming about their sexual orientation when they wouldn’t think of criticizing the cashier at the local food jobber for keeping her’s a secret. I think people criticizing celebrities for not comming out aren’t being fair, they resent celebrities for their wealth and because of that find fault with them that they wouldn’t find in non-wealthy people behaving the same way.
