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.
