Portia Didn't Want to be a Lesbian

Portia di Rossi, now Portia Degeneres came out in 2005 and married Ellen in 2008.  She recently spoke out about her decision to come out and how she had trouble understanding her own sexuality.

I just didn't want to be a lesbian. I'd never met one for a start and I just thought they were strange and that they hated mane and they were serious and I had these ridiculous images in my head and there were no out celebrities or politicians or anybody that I could say, 'I could date her and I want to be like that'. I don't need to. I just shut down the emotional life. The thing that kept me company was my eating disorder. It was like a lover. It was like somebody who never ever left me. Like a thought that would always keep me excited, interested and focused. It's adrenaline.
