It is sad to see that the only way for Gillian Anderson to get any facetime or publicity is to "come out of the closet" about some vague relationship she had in the very distant past that, according to societies current definitions of "normal" shouldn't even turn any heads... yet it is being promoted as newsworthy.
For me, this supposedly tantalizing information falls squarely between "who cares" and "why is this news" and considering how hard Hollywood has fought to make homosexuality and every day part of life, I find it pretty hypocritical that they are exploiting it here.
