I am SO behind the times recently. Too much work, not enough time is preventing me from having a good old surf at lunchtime so this post is about three weeks after the event, but how and ever...
Was out with the work crew on Wednesday night and a colleague mentioned that a certain Hollywood actress has finally come out. I'm like, I doubt it very much, it's nobody else's poxy business but she assured me that no, she thanked a lady in her speech and thus she's outted herself.
So, and I might add, very hypocritically of me considering what I'm about to moan about, I google "blah blah award speech", and sure enough nine of the first ten links pertain to her thanking some woman. Thus she's out obviously. Good night Ted.
My point, finally, is this. What's the big news? Who cares if she has a partner and that partner is a woman? She's an actor, right? I've read some of the bullshit about male actors can't come out as if they were to play an action hero, nobody would take them seriously. But they'd be acting wouldn't they? Playing a role. Pretending to be something they're not. Which they are probably pretty good at considering they are probably pretending to be straight. Such hypocrisy from the viewing public pisses me off. Do we not pay money to see people play a role?
And another thing... Google. I google "blah blah award speech" and this woman has won two oscars and only one of the first ten links relates to one of her oscar wins. How does that figure?
