While there are nuggets of truth breaking through (like how coming out as gay is still a a Hollywood career death knell whereas coming out as “queer” or throwing around the word “queer” while living a visibly or functional heterosexual existence is a career boost), this whole conflation of sexual orientation and gender throughout the article makes the discussion rather meaningless.

Where are the young out and proud lesbians of Hollywood? That casts the article’s mention of Ellen/Elliot Page in a new light that is not being discussed. Nothing these celebrities are doing is helpful for me because it’s meaningless and confusing. There was a time when seeing celebrities like Ellen Page coming out as lesbians was at least a bit helpful.

Keep in mind this is Costello press, so most of the things they write are bullshit and out of touch.

Edit: mixed up Murdoch press with Costello.
