The Lambs Have Stopped Screaming.

***Update*** I have recently discovered that this article was written in 2007...but the joy still applies.

and Jodie is out of the closet...., finally (well, apparently 4 years ago!) Hoorah, Hoorah! ::waves rainbow flag::

I came to love and appreciate Jodie Foster in the 1991 masterpiece, "Silence of the Lambs". I'm not sure I loved it as much as I do today, IN 1991...because I was six. And...well, I'm not sure I was as twisted yet at six, as I was at 13...or 18...or 21 or now, at 26. I'm also not sure I understood the beauty of the message, the light that shined in her character in all of that darkness or the true meaning of what it's like to forever hear the lambs screaming....like I do now. Ahhhh, Clarice Starling, how I love thee. I always agreed with Hannibal Lecter that "The world is more interesting with you in it."

Although it's been known for years and years that she was a lesbian...she has always been very private and not disclosed any information about her sexuality. As you will read in the following link, she recieved an award at a Women in Entertainment Breakfast, where she publically, for the first time, acknowledged and thanked her partner of 14 years, which is a long lifetime in calculation. (Lesbian math = x amount of years together times 7, bringing her and Cydney to a whopping 98 years together!)

Regardless if the reason for doing so was because it was just time, for personal reasons or whether Lady Gaga's "born this way", inspired her to raise her paws up and come out of that glass closet and tell us all what we already knew....I am sure glad she did. May you help and inspire others to do the same. You GO girl.
