What famous person could come out of the closet...

Make us an offer and we’ll see what we can do. :smiley:

I’ve no desire for Portia de Rossi, but I’d like Jodie Foster. We’ll swap Will Smith, Daniel Craig, and Colin Firth. Whaddaya say?

Honestly, I think he’s asexual. He strikes me as someone who’s neither gay NOR straight.

Swap Colin out for Eliza Dushku and you’ve got a deal. (Eliza is for a friend :wink: )

I read that Chef Cat Cora and her “girlfriend” are both pregnant.

I don’t care for Eliza all that much, but I 'spect that if iit were known that I were responsible for her tribadifiction, I’d find myself surrounded by guys carrying pitchforks and torches and axes and such.

Any unmarried premier-league footballer who’s currently doing really well at the game. I know sod all (heh) about football, so can’t name anyone, but it would definitely be good for young men and teenagers and for any other footballers who might be gay. When Justin Fashanu came out in the eighties he was pilloried so much - by the press and by his family, who disowned him - that he committed suicide. It’d be great for someone to come out now and all that not to happen.

One of the girls from High School Musical type films would be a good lesbian role model too, if she came out in a calm, happy way, rather than poor old Lindsay Lohan’s messed-up drunken way.

Jacqueline Wilson, writer. Lots of young girls look up to her and love her books, and I was shocked to find out she’s apparently not gay.

Bad? A footballer who’s playing really badly. The girly boy from High School Musical, maybe (confirming stereotypes).

You can have her but only if you take Rosie O’Donnell.

I think he’s gay for himself. He whacks off in front of a mirror.

Me and a co-worker had a similar discussion to this thread. My theory was that every leading man in Hollywood had to have sex with a male producer at least once to get recognized, but among the definitely NOTs would be Charlton Heston and Clint Eastwood.

With “Old Time Rock and Roll” on the stereo.

Why?

<Foghorn Leghorn>That’s a joke… I say, that’s a joke, son.</Foghorn Leghorn>

Just curious as to why folks don’t like her. I thought she was funny on Arrested Development and she’s funny on Better off Ted. shrug I just wondered what she did to merit teh hate.

I watch a lot of hunting shows with my dad, it’d be funny as hell if one of those guys came out.

Hate? I think you misunderstand. Portia De Rossi is the go-to “lesbian we wish was straight so we could pretend we have a shot” for most straight guys. Because she’s hot you see.

Personally, I’m saddened that Sara Gilbert plays for the other team. Not that I’d ever have a shot at Sara Gilbert even if she were straight (what with the 3000 miles separating us), but I’ve had a crush on her for years.

Ohhhhh. Well yeah, she’s a stone fox!

What’s with the quotes?

quietly polishes axe

It wasn’t a joke. I would really like to have her back on our team. She’s freakin’ gorgeous.

:: disengages safety on plasma rifle, vaporizes axe, and then parts RNATB’s hair just to make a point::

In the first place, don’t bring an axe to plasma rifle fight.

In the second place, I was nobly declining to tribadify Ms. Dushku, even though I happen to have in my possession a tribadifizer.

In the third place … um, actually I only had those two things. I should really start counting before I begin spouting off. But I’m not gonna, on account of having the plasma rifle.

You were talking to somebody else, of course, but I’ll can’t quite call Portia gorgeous, though her legs are–as commented on Better Off Ted–awesome. “Steel wrapped in velvet” indeed. Her face is a trifle harsh for my taste, though.

Yeah, sorry about that, guys. I was aiming the tribadifizer at Rosanne and sneezed. That is totally my bad.

There’s already a leader of a Muslim country (on the Arabian peninsula no less) who’s all-but-out:
