Why does she feel the need to? Why explain yourself? I admire it when celebrities come out as it maybe can help someone else struggling with the desision to do so, but I don't think they owe it to anyone to disclose anything. It just isn't a shock to me if someone is gay, you know. I really don't care. Someones private life is just that. I just hated how it was worded "jodie comes out, FINALLY" She doesn't owe anyone anything or and explanations. There was nothing wrong with how she was living, just having a private life and not making her sexuality an issue.
