Out Magazine's provocative Jodie Foster/Anderson Cooper cover [Updated]

This is quickly making the rounds so I wanted to post it for you. It's Out Magazine's May issue. I found myself a bit dismayed because I respect the work of Jodie Foster and Anderson Cooper very much. They have chosen to live their lives as they see fit, but not address their sexuality publicly and I see no reason to disrespect that.
But Towleroad.com reports that Cooper sits at #2 among a list of America's most influential gay men and women in Out magazine's "Power 50". The list is based on cultural resonance, political influence, media profile, and wealth. Jodie Foster sits at #43.
A Michael Musto cover story which looks at celebrities and public figures who live in the "glass closet".
Says Musto: "It’s true that stars are free to put up whatever walls they want in order to maintain boundaries with the public. But even at their most controlling, straight stars never seem to leave out the fact that they’re straight in interviews. Whenever a subject tells me, ‘I won’t discuss who I’m dating’ or ‘I resent labels,’ I generally know not so much that they’re passionate about privacy but that they’re gay gay, gay."

Here is a link to the complete story.

I'm an OUT subscriber, and I have to say I'm a bit surprised by the cover. I believe every gay man and woman should be out and proud - but only when they're ready to do so on their own terms. To me, this is just sensationalism, and I hope their legal department has their ducks in a row.
