'Top Gun' hottie Kelly McGillis is gay. And no one cares anymore.
Kelly McGillis, best known for playing the hot teacher to Tom Cruise in "Top Gun," has confirmed all those rumors that she's a lesbian, according to an interview done in Key West, Fla., on the Internet show "Girl Rock."
Click here to watch the video interview on shewired.com.
She talks about plastic surgery, her Hollywood career and the fact that she's done with men.
She's known she was a lesbian from an early age. But it took a long time to accept.
"I think that was an ongoing process from the time I was probably 12. It was a long arduous journey for me," she told the publication. "I had a lot of bad things happen to me that made me think God was punishing me for being gay. Life is a freaking journey about coming to terms with who and what you are."
And her next partner will be a woman, if anyone's interested.
"I'm done with the man thing," says the actress, 51, who is 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."
Kelly stars in the upcoming "Little Foxes" at the Pasadena Playhouse, along with Julia Duffy.
The Daily Mail reports that McGillis' sexual orientation was Hollywood's worst-kept secret.
Yeah, along with Jodie Foster and a few others we could name but won't.

please file under "who cares?"
I don't care if she's gay or not, I just loved her debut in "Reuben, Reuben". I wish this would be put out in DVD PRONTO!!!!
You gotta love a 51 yr old has-been trying to be relevant again. Her quest to look like a man is coming along quite well though.
Thank goodness this hit the news to divert us from less important things, like swine flu, credit card company raking americans and large car companies going bankrupt after borrowing a ton of money..
Too bad. I wish she wouldn't have come out. I think that she could have been better not chiming in. Coming out doesn't equal notoriety or notorious. Married twice, and daughters. Sounds more like sour grapes.
Hmmm, after watching 'The Monkey's Mask', this revelation is really not much of a surprise:)
So Kelly and Tom are gay. So what. TOP GUN?
Hmmm, Tom pushes another one over the edge.
Another Hollywood perverted FREAK.Her daughters must be ashamed of this FREAK.Wasn't Miss California AWESOME!
You go girl. Keep you head high and you'll have all the support you'll need.
