It's genuinely none of my business. I know that. But given her upcoming romantic comedy with Common, and the fact that she's penning a scripted VH1show about the lives of single black women in Atlanta (Which stars Stacey Dash, for whom so much love, and which sounds pretty great. More Atlanta and successful black women, please.), I would love it so much if there was a famous lesbian out there who was unrepentant and apologetic about her ability to write about and portray straight women's sex lives. That may sound like a strange goal, but I do think that coming out, even if it doesn't kill an actor's potential to get parts, does tweak the kinds of roles he or she gets. Look at Neil Patrick Harris, who since he came out, gets to play ladies men, but they've also got some detail, like being a dandy, that is meant to acknowledge his sexual orientation to audiences who are aware of it, as if to say "we know, but..."
Genuine sexual magnetism seems to be something that Hollywood believes you can't fake. It's one of the reasons actors like Jennifer Anniston are repeatedly linked to their co-stars. There's an assumption that if you're playing in love, or in heat, convincingly on screen, that it has an impact on your real-world assumptions. This is persistently the case, even though folks perform hundreds of love scenes, on camera, on stage, wherever, with no discernible impact on their personal lives or feelings. The postulate of that seems to be that if you aren't attracted to men, or to women, that there's no way you could plausibly fake it--even though we know of course that being attracted to men, or women, means you can feign attraction to any man, or woman, no matter how disgusted by or neutral you might be to any given costar. Which is, you know, patently ridiculous.
I suppose what I am really saying is that I would love for a star, any star, to get so well-established that they can come out, give the industry a ferocious side-eye, and continue doing what they were doing. Queen Latifah, with her deeply established business relationships, history as a makeup model (a gig Ellen scored, I would note, only after being out for ten years), and roster of romantic lead roles, seems like the most promising candidate, if she is in fact gay.
