Does it change anything for the Gay community? Does anyone care? If not... isn't that the way to do it, so it's not an issue?

Jodie, before a crowd of her closeted-est—I mean closest—Hollywood peers, thanked "my beautiful Cydney who sticks with me through all the rotten and the bliss”. The apple of Jodie’s eye, and the co-parent of her two boys, Jodie met Cydney on the set of the God-awful 1993 flick Sommersby, in which even Jodie’s double Academy Awards and stellar acting skills couldn’t compensate for the black hole of sexual energy between her and urban legend / gerbil loving—Richard Gere.
If her tip of her fedora to Cydney wasn’t enough of a kinda sorta coming out, an uncharacteristically candid Jodie went on to call herself a gentelemen and a fruitcake—not unlike Gere’s An Officer and a Gentleman. "I don't feel very powerful. I feel fragile... unsure, struggling to figure it all out, trying to get there even though I'm not sure where there is... I've been working in this business for 42 years and there's no way you can do that and not be as nutty as a fruitcake,” Jodie told the crowd, which included long-rumored homos John Travolta and Queen Latifah.
Sure, Jodie’s never pulled a Big Rosie O’Donnell and ranted on about lesbian bed-death before millions of hapless heartland housewives on The View. Still, Jodie and her trucker voice have never “doth protested too much” either. During her Yalie days, a lunatic white boy, John Hinckley, attempted to assassinate then President Ronald Reagan just to get on Jodie’s radar. It’s no big surprise that Jodie hasn’t flown her private life like Pride flag over West Hollywood’s Santa Monica Boulevard. Like Charlie over his speaker phone to the Angels, Jodie might not have always been visible but she’s spoken to us.
The day before Jodie wiggled her pinky toe out the closet door, the 'Brave One' handed out an award to The Trevor Projects’ founders at its annual Cracked Xmas event. Also on hand for the event was Big Ellen—an honoree—and her hot piece of nip/tuck tail, Portia di Rossi. Perhaps Jodie was merely inspired by Ellen and Portia’s PDA and she decided Cydney would never be a back door girl again—in public that is… At any rate, congrats to Jodie. The lesbian community couldn’t ask for a more together celebrity role model. Why settle for Tila Tequila when Jodie’s Stealing Home for the team?
On the subject of public outings, Queen "fence-sitter" Latifah has refuted rumors that she and her longtime personal trainer, Jeanette Jenkins, were on the brink of a shotgun wedding. 'When you're famous these days, it's just part of the deal—unfortunately. People will make up all sorts of things that are not true... There ain't gonna be no wedding,” Queen of the Heaving Cleavage told the Chicago Sun Times. At least the Queen didn’t whip out her tired old Glamour line about how the gay rumors haven’t harmed her appeal with the less fair sex, or the “gentlemen,” as she says. SOURCE
