Kelly McGillis, best known for playing teacher to Tom Cruise in "Top Gun," has confirmed long-held rumors that she's a lesbian, according to an interview on the website shewired.

"I'm done with the man thing," says McGillis, 51, who is twice married and twice divorced and has two teenage daughters. "I did that, I need to move on in life. It's a part of being true to yourself. That's been a challenge for me."

The Daily Mail says McGillis' sexual orientation was Hollywood's worst-kept secret. (Funny, we thought the worst-kept secret was that Jodie Foster was gay. Or John Travolta. We could go on.)

The Popeater.com blog says the announcement crushes "a million middle-aged hearts."

Love scenes with Tom Cruise will do it if anything would. I hope this doesn't become just another gaybashing thread. Tom Cruise bashing though is encouraged.

So am I. I declare it, once again, here on FreeRepublic.

There...done

I guess she felt the need....The need for..

Well............

That was probably her first lesbian experience.

I am a lesbian trapped in a man’s body.

Nah, come on Jake...that was Goose's line. Now, "Your friend was magnificent"....

She was raped once, and that could have a lot to do with her subsequent psychosexual development. Let us pray for her.

It doesn't crush my easily stolen middle-aged heart. McGillis would have to get in line behind Sissy Spacek, Marie Bello, and Rene Russo. And all those hot young chicks too.

In today’s age, one person’s gender identity is another’s fashion statement.

True. The damage of rape never goes away. Hidden. Repressed. But always there. .

And a resounding ‘NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!’ issues forth from the mouths of men everywhere...

Pure bravo-sierra hyperbole. My "middle-aged heart" is beating just fine after reading this announcement.

Some friends and I were playing a game the other night. Name a Hollywood movie that does not contain at least one homosexual, lesbian, Scientologist, Kabbala believer or anti-American crazy. It was kind of interesting. Top Gun, a favorite of many, was ruled out for Tom Cruise (Scientologist).
