Is Jodi Foster a lesbian?
She won’t go out with you anyway, so what does it matter?
I’m sure there must be SOMETHING you could do to impress her.
In any case, don’t try and ask Mr. Reagan for his opinion, m’kay? 
Hurry up with the answer, my parents will only be out of the room for a complete of minutes. I knew they couldn’t watch me ever minute this trip.
Seriously, the subject came up watching Contact.
In the classic movie “Foxes,” her character does say something like “Yes, we’re dykes!” when some hootlum boys try hitting on her and her bud(s).
Well, from the results of a mostly unusable Google search, I’ve been able to determine that many people have speculated that she’s gay, but she’s never identified herself as such.
…Tho’ there was one article that claimed that she said in an interview that she couldn’t stand the thought of having sex with a man. But that could mean a lot of things, possibly even that she’s asexual.
She has given birth to two sons. I do not know how they were conceived, however.
This should be in Great Debates - og knows the Dyke community has been debating it back and forth for years.
Earthling, I remember reading somewhere (sorry no cite) that her sons were concieved by donor insemination (same donor both times, apparently a friend of hers?)
Earthling, there are plenty of dykes who have had kids. Presence or lack thereof isn’t proof of anything.
As for the OP… is she a lesbian? YES! In my dreams.
Max.
I realize that, which is why I added the comment about not knowing how they were conceived. My line of reasoning went like this:[ul][li]If her kids are adopted, then she could be a dyke and/or asexual.[/li][li]If she gave birth to her kids from artificial insemination, then she could be a dyke and/or asexual.[/li]If she gave birth to her kids from good old-fashioned boinking, then she could still be a dyke, though perhaps a bit less likely – but definitely not asexual, on at least two instances.[/ul]None of this proves sexual orientation one way or another – I guess I’ve just committed the online version of “thinking out loud,” and should’ve really kept my mouth shut. Oh well.
I don’t care what she is as long as she will sleep with me too!
I’ve heard she’s quite odd- won’t shake hands for fear of germs. Also have heard she’s gay, which makes Hinckley’s shooting Reagan a waste since even if it did impress her, she wouldn’t have been interested in him anyway.
I think her brother has claimed she is, much to her chagrin.
My guess- she’s a lesbi-in, not a lesbi-out L
Several years ago, Mr. S had, er, an erotic dream about Jodie Foster. A few months later, I ran across a cartoon that I just had to show him. (Wish I had a scanner connected right now.) The people were quite oddly drawn; one of them was asking a group of men and women, “Which would you rather do, write the Great American Novel or sleep with Jodie Foster?” and the reply in unison was “SLEEP WITH JODIE!!”
Had to pull out of Double Jeopardy because she became pregnant.

Generally lesbians are in control of when they get pregnant.
Not the response I’d expect from a former SDMB moderator, as it seemingly imposes a litmus test on the suitability of questions and has a potential chilling effect on general discussion. Curiosity drives this message board. If you think something is silly or inappropriate, simply look the other way.
Ditto.
If Ms. Foster is a Doper, she might chose to let us know the answer. Otherwise, I can’t imagine how anybody could purport to deliver a factual answer in this OP…
I understand curiosity, but probing someone’s sex life seems a little prurient to me.
What does it matter?
I’m also rankled by the implication that manhattan may not speak freely because as former moderator his comments are still somehow too authoritative and have a chilling effect on dialogue. Too bad he’s NOT a mod, because then maybe he’d move this to Cafe Society–it’s hollywood gossip and not going to be answered with a factual anmswer unless, as Cartooniverse astutely pointed out, she comes in and tells us herself.
Use my definition:
If she’s having sex with me - no she’s not.
If she’s not having sex with me - don’t know.
