Actress Jodie Foster's possible coming
out speech has inspired teens to offer their own coming out riddles,
farcical The Onion reported.
In accepting her Cecil B. DeMille
Lifetime Achievement Award at the Golden Globes on Sunday night,
Foster, 50, delivered a rambling speech in which she repeatedly used
the phrase “coming out” but didn't actually say she is gay.
“Jodie Foster is being hailed as a
possibly gay icon after kind of coming out during a speech at the
Golden Globe Awards,” The Onion reported. “The actress
has become a role model to LGBT youth who are taking her lead by also
giving moving but confusing coming out speeches to their friends and
family.”
A young man in a YouTube clip is seen
saying: “I have to be honest and say something that's been on my
mind. And you already know it, so there it is.”
Foster's speech has also given rise to
an awareness project for young people titled We are all single,
just kidding, but seriously, I am together, in this room, the
news satire organization reported.
