In her new interview with More magazine, Foster is asked about her sexuality in a roundabout way and she continues to try and hide who she truly is.Let's talk about your ring.
This one? [Proffers left hand] It's Tiffany, an eternity ring.
You're wearing it on your wedding ring finger.
I am. I've always worn a ring. Even taking photos. Even on magazine covers. I don't take it off.
Don't you think wearing a ring like that raises questions?
Well, but that's my life. ... My life is my life. I'm not going to change my life for anybody. I just don't talk about my dad, my health, who I voted for or what I think of the death penalty because that would be trivializing my life, selling it for a magazine. I don't have any problems with anybody reporting on my life. It's just that I'm not going to bring my family into that. The number-one reason for that is: Why would I invite — encourage — more people to sit outside my door and wait for my children to go to school? I don't have any desire to participate in it.
When I interviewed you in 1994, you scoffed at the idea of cosmetic surgery. Now, as the crow's feet start to appear, have you adjusted your stance?
Nah. It's not my thing. I don't have anything against it for other people. Whatever they want to do, I'm fine with it. For me, it's really a self-image thing. Like, I'd rather have somebody go, "Wow, that girl has a big nose" than "Wow, that girl has a bad nose job." I'd rather have a comment about who I am than about something that identifies me as being ashamed of who I am.
“Wow, that girl is a big closeted dyke!” Does it hurt Jodie? You are being identified as being ashamed of who you are, ashamed of your wife and the life you live. Your children share her name why can’t you speak it.
I don’t want her outed, wearing rainbow t-shirts or marching in parades, I just want her to speak the truth. Let her name be counted along with the rest of us and be a true inspiration to young lesbians everywhere.
We need you Jodie, please come join us.

Aw, leave poor Jodie alone. She's entitled to her privacy. If this is what's keeping her happy and content with life, then so be it. More power to her. I'm sure she does her part to support the LGBT community in her own way.
