Andrew Sullivan, who is ordinarily brilliant and opinionated but invariably fair, calls Jodie Foster’s public coming-out moment at the 2013 Golden Globes “narcissistic,” “self-loving,” and “unadulterated bullshit” – a tragic and surprising failure to honor the fact that everyone’s journey is different. The pressure to alter oneself in order to conform to a homogenized idea of what being gay ought to be like is no different from the pressure to conform to an inauthentically straight lifestyle.
