Jodie Foster takes the\u00a0occasion\u00a0of her much deserved award to celebrate her lesbian partner<\/a>. \u00a0Really? \u00a0I mean, come on. \u00a0I\u2019m glad she was\u00a0recognized, as I do think she\u2019s a talented actress, even if\u00a0some\u00a0of her later movies haven\u2019t been quite up to her earlier work. \u00a0Still, she\u2019s good and deserves the award. But why is the press gushing over her, like this was some wonderful, courageous thing? \u00a0She already defined\u00a0herself\u00a0accordingly\u00a0some years ago. \u00a0That\u2019s like someone reminding us the Berlin Wall was torn down.<\/p>\n

What makes me laugh is how the press and Hollywood act as if it\u2019s some bold, courageous thing when\u00a0celebrities\u00a0come out and openly advocate what 99% of Hollywood and the media\u00a0passionately\u00a0support. \u00a0Talking about all the courage that goes behind giving at testimony at a tent revival. \u00a0I don\u2019t think there are many institutions today that lumber on with the same stunning lack of self-awareness, or ironic demands for conformity, that our entertainment industry is able to muster.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
