Did you have an opinion on this?

I say good for her. She has always led a very private life, and I feel bad for her that she was about to be outed by a tabloid, and so felt the need to reveal all. BUT, she is a Mrs. Keaton, and people loved her character, so if that results in more acceptance and tolerance, then great.

Wrong forum. This should be on either the celebrity or relationship forum. Don't see the controversy in the article.

She came out publically because a tabloid was going to out her.

I've always liked her. Good for her, I'm sure she'll be fine.

Wow, I guess my gaydar is substandard. I never would've guessed.

She should've come out way back when it would've done some good.

I don't really care one way or the other, but I am still confused why people find it necessary to announce their sexual preferance.
