Actress Kelly McGillis confirms that she is gay
”Yes, I am single…. No, definitely a woman. I’m done with the man thing. I did that. I need to move on in life. That’s another part of being true to yourself. I think that’s been a challenge, for me personally…. I think [coming out] was an on going process from the time I was 12…. I had a lot of things convincing me that God was punishing me because I was gay. That was a hard process for me.”
