Clementine Ford Outs Herself In Diva!
While rumors of her sexuality have swirled since her 2004 divorce from Chad Todhunter, Clementine Ford has done nothing about it. That is, until this latest issue of Diva, in which she decides to “out” herself!
She told the magazine: “I never want to put a label on myself — but knowing that not everyone comes from such a liberal place, when something like Prop 8 comes out, you realize it’s important to stand up and be counted. A little gay kid in a small town is more important than whether I want a label.”
According to Ford, sexuality was never a big issue growing up, with not just she but other siblings bringing home dates of both sexes. It wasn’t until she began to realize that life isn’t always so easy for queer kids that she decided to come out.
Her work with the Point Foundation led her into the queer spotlight, and rumors swirled around her performance with Kate Moennig – many believe the pair dated off-screen as well as being the steamiest part of last season on The L Word. Ford didn’t give Diva the dirt on that, simply stating the pair are now friends.
She is, however, dating someone, and the implication is that it’s a woman, although she doesn’t name names this time either. Good for her for keeping her sex life private while still being public about who she is! Next time, she just needs a better stylist for that cover shoot!
No word on IMDB as to what’s next for Ford, but here’s hoping we get to see her one last time before The L Word calls it quits!
