Well, that makes "Little Foxes" a whole different movie.

I assumed that she was gay. The whole family was.

But I thought she liked Pumpin and Blowin?

/Would post screen shots from The Pirate Movie, but every time I load it up in VLC, I get messages that ask me if I *really* wanna watch this POS again?

And this is a surprise to exactly who again?

I thought she came out a couple decades ago. Most surprising thing to me is she is not 50 yet. Decent looking old lady for not having any work done.

I thought this too. I thought it was common knowledge. I also had a crush on her when I was 12.

Anyone remember her on Empty Nest?

As for The Pirate Movie...

Didn't know who she is. Fired up google images, saw a few pics of her in the 70s or 80s, instantly said "Well, d'oh"

Jeebus Christ, lady! Even Jodie Foster fessed up to being a carpet muncher sooner than you did.

The only holdouts now are Anderson Cooper, Tom Cruise, Alpaca Face and the other Miss Bachmann.

Funny I always thought she was a dude in drag. Which kind of makes sense now...that I think about it.

Shock factor of 0. She should have came out earlier to give the 'accidentally released' video some value

I always just assumed she was as well. Didn't stop me from hopelessly pining over her. I think part of me enjoys being frustrated.

Been living with here PARTNER for two decades and now she decides to tell all??

Seems kind pointless after 20 years.

Because gay people are the happiest and most drama-free people in the world!

She'll probably wreck 100 marriages just bu coming out.

For a look at 25 other stars who surprised the world when they came out of the closet, check out the slideshow below.

I think that HuffPo needs to learn what a surprise is. Sean Hayes? Elton John? Adam Lambert? What's next, some wiseacre gonna tell me that Liberace didn't get all kinds of poon?

2012-01-07 05:58:23 PM

Haha, that's pretty bad when even the STRAIGHT people "just assumed."

As for my two cents, here goes: wow who would have ever imagined it I am so surprised of all the people who might come out as gay I never would have suspected Kristy McNichol.

I knew she was a lesbo when I was 12 - she didn't answer my letter asking her to go to my jr high prom

Zachary Quinto is gay? I guess I either missed that or forgot about it.

Watch the recent series: American Horror Story.

He played a twink, and did a very convincing job. Now we know why.

Lesbianism May Be Increased By Thyroxine And Amphetamine In Pregnancy

Interesting hypothesis from a 2004 study.

I'm sure Cher never did any of that stuff though.

Came here to say the same thing. And was anybody remotely surprised when Zachary Quinto came out either? Or is that just farkers weren't surprised because the farker who works in theater accidentally outed Quinto on Fark years ago?

Link? Also, thyroxine is thyroid hormone, not a narcotic.

Oh, and Chaz isn't a lesbian, he identifies as a transgender male, that's a lot different.

Seriously. I thought she came out in the late 80s.

FTFA: The former actress, who has lived with partner Martie Allen for almost two decades, says she is also choosing now to come out because she "is very sad about kids being bullied... and she hopes that coming out can help kids who need support," her publicist Jeff Ballard told People, adding, "She would like to help others who feel different."

Yes... I can see it now... Gay-bashing bullies everywhere will hear this story. They'll stop and take pause, tilting their heads and furrowing their brows in unison and asking, "Kristy Who?"

she was probably my 'first one'. i remember watching family after my bed time and feeling funny down there. didn't understand the show but i did understand that if i rubbed myself enough that i would see stars, become tired, and want a grilled cheese sandwich and a tea.

I would have been shocked if she proclaimed her straightness. Then i would have just figured she was lying.
