Hey Gina, yea, Foster's speech was a bit confusing. I swear about a year or so ago she came out so I was confused as to what she was actually saying.
She didn't come out, but she's mentioned her partner more than once in acceptance speeches in blink and miss moments that didn't register in the MSM.
I think this just highlights the difference of attitudes between different generations of gay/lesbian actors. People like Foster and Kevin Spacey will never "come out" publicly in the media as no big deal like younger actors like Zachary Quinto or Neil Patrick Harris did. Even if everybody and their Mom knows they're gay, they'll shy away from it like the plague because of their backgrounds of breaking into Hollywood and learning/taught that their orientations known publicly would hurt their careers.
Meanwhile, John Hinckley feels like a complete dumbass now.
