http://www.seattlepi.com/tvguide/404504_tvgif1.htmlClementine Ford, former L Word star and daughter of Cybil Shepherd, has officially come out.
"I am gay," she told The Advocate. "I just wanted there not to be this big emphasis on it."
The announcement comes one month after U.K. magazine Diva outed her with the headline "Clementine Ford Comes Out" — and just as the actress is to make her debut on the CBS sudser The Young & the Restless. The magazine also intimated that Ford had an affair with L Word costar Katherine Moennig. Ford later denied coming out to Diva, stating that she was misquoted.
"What upset me was, I felt that because I did not 'come out' in that interview, I felt it was unfair to fans that bought the magazine expecting to get a tearful story that says 'I'm gay,'" Ford told The Advocate. "I thought it was misleading, and now because I was upset by that cover, I am apparently back in the closet and people hate me."

Good for her, the more celebrities that come out the better!
