Sexuality

Very true. There's a lot of curiosity about celebrities' personal lives and always has been. Gay, straight, bi, married, single, cat person, dog person, Democrat, Republican, vegetarian, carnivore, allergic to peanuts, etc., etc. interest in famous people and what they're "really" like is as old as the spoken word.

As a out lesbian and a writer and comedian, I find it comforting when stars come out. It makes me feel like if they can make it living out and proud I can too. I understand why some people keep it under wraps, it's not exactly sought after in this industry. But I applaud those who do come out and can't help but speculate about those who haven't or those who I suspect play for my team.
It helps that Dianne's a stone cold fox and that I've written a screenplay where she plays a closeted actress struggling with her sexuality.
Clearly I am bias. -

NOBODY SAID SHE WASN'T A WONDERFUL ACTRESS REGARDLESS.
The question is whether she is gay or not and I was wondering the same thing as there is no mention of a relationship with any man.
The answer to your question is you are answering a question with a question, also we care just because we do, we're curious! -

Aren't we allowed to ASK?

Where does her privacy rights begin? If she doesn't speak about it then no, leave it alone. It's not my business, or yours, who she sleeps with. And I don't see how it affects her job one way or the other. I have always thought she is a fantastic actress and her sexuality has nothing to do with it. All we have the right to is her performance because we pay her to entertain us. Everything else is her business unless she decides to make it public. Just like gays in the military-sexuality shouldn't preclude service because one has nothing to do with the other.

that is still a valid question; why do we care if Diane is gay or not
I think a more valid point is why aren't they posts questioning if an actor is straight? No-one is asking questions if someone if heterosexual, as that is the accepted norm and what is expected of most people. Yet people DO care who they are connected with and how many partners they have etc. So why do we have to ask
"why should we care if an actor is gay or lesbian"?
Goes to show the rampant homophobia and hypocrisy of many even if veiled, and not seeing homosexuality on equal footing with heterosexuality.

I disagree. Asking the question of "is {so and so] straight?" is also irrelevant. I don't care. I don't want to know who is sleeping with whom, it is none of my business and I do not appreciate my limited, valuable leisure time to be taken up with tabloid bullstein. That is a huge reason on why I don't watch much TV anymore. It has truly become an idiot box. "Homophobia," an invalid, made up term. I have yet to see it in the DSM. "Hypocrisy?" How so? Or are you throwing out the standard knee jerk bullstein terms to strengthen your weak argument? Not trying to be nasty or anything, just wondering.

Ahhhh, yes-the casting of aspersions when you have nothing of value to say. Actually
YOU
totally missed my point. My point was really, really easy to get but I will spell it out for you: "Who cares?" I watch a movie to be entertained. I do not care who or what the star of the movie sleeps with at night-not my business. If not caring one way or another about someone's sexual preference and/or not wasting my time on tabloid trash means you are going to pin an imaginary label on me (and you will regardless so it means less than nothing to me) go right ahead. Since you are obviously a one trick pony with absolutely nothing of value to say I say good bye. I won't see any of your other pointless and useless drivel so knock yourself out. Call me all the names you want; you have nothing of value to contribute to the discussion and you and your opinion mean nothing to me. You are not even a blip on my radar. Enjoy your hate filled phobic life.

Exactly, you don't have one and if you didn't care, you wouldn't even be on here discussing it. Phony hypocrite!
Since you are obviously a one trick pony with absolutely nothing of value to say I say good bye.
Good riddance! You are not going to be missed by me, or anyone else for that matter. You don't know how to express yourself in a lucid and cohesive manner that makes much sense and when someone claims they disagree with something in the manner that you have, that is only to mask their own insecurities, misguided perceptions and ignorance.
You are not even a blip on my radar. Enjoy your hate filled phobic life.
You are the one who doesn't see homosexuality on equal footing with heterosexuality and since you are not that clever, you have inadvertently proven my point and walked right into it without feeling. Most numb and narcissistic people don't don't know how to feel. If homophobia is at some stage ever going to be listed as a disorder in the DSM, then you would be an ideal candidate to endorse why it belongs there.

This is how self-important and full of themselves they are. Nabor's expect others to think, feel and act as they do, or they would think there is something wrong with them. They can't be flexible and politics rule their head space and being. If someone goes on ignore, it's because they have been challenged and don't like what they are hearing.

If I don't answer you eventually then I have probably decided to ignore you. If that happens it is because you bore me

How on earth is not caring about anyone's sexual preferences "homophobic?" Well, since it isn't a real thing I guess you can play "Let's Pretend" and say a tree is homophobic And I really wasn't trying to be nasty with that silly tart until she came after me with your imaginary situation, "homophobia," and so I figured she didn't want to be civil then I didn't need to be. And, quite frankly, I haven't seen any threads about "who cares" regarding heterosexuality. Then again, since I don't care I don't look for them. I tripped across this one a while back, I forget how long ago, made my statement and went on with life. "Transparent?" Oh my, how ever will I recover from such a stinging barb-along with being called dishonest and "homophobic?!?!?!" Oh, yeah, I know-you matter to me as much as you compatriot Libtard FNC who I don't see anymore. That is to say (quoting Dean Wormer): Zero Point Zero. May you both have fulfilling hate filled lives. You now bore me as much as the last 'tard did. Good bye.

That is the point idiot, there isn't. Life must be very challenging for you to miss the sunshine amongst the trees. I would cancel your IMDB account if I were you and stop posting your opinions, because you are making a fool of yourself and only proving how much YOU don't know.

ohjosephineyou're pretty funnyyou can tell that someone is terrified of lesbians by a posti think that the only reason there was 'gossip' about the men she's dated is because that has actually been documented, whereas there's been nothing documented (that I know of) about her dating a woman. I personally don't know Ms. Wiest, so I couldn't tell you whether she was lesbian or not. My previous point was that I don't care what her sexuality is. I'll watch her in anything, any time, no matter who she sleeps withbecause it just doesn't matter.

It is nobody's business but you still want to knowright. Thats show business. I read an interview with Elisabeth Rohm that said that Dianne and Sam Waterston could really knock it back at the bar and she was one of the fellas. I'd like to think that such a great actress could be one of the fellas.
