TELEGRAPH: Patricia Cornwell recalls being outed by Vanity Fair in the '90s:

I was outed as gay in the early 1990s, when I was in my late 30s, by a Vanity Fair article. It was a very difficult time, and it shouldn’t have happened that way. I had a couple of friends that started out in journalism with me, and when I became successful they didn’t seem to like me that much any more. They knew a lot about me and went around various journalistic sources, divulging personal information. To have all that come out about me in what I wouldn’t call a particularly positive way, was withering to me at the time. It was early on in my career and when the story came out I didn’t even want to leave the house. I was mortified. My mother was not happy about it — she got used to it, but it got pretty ugly at the time. It gave me a thicker skin. I’ve had a lot of publicity that I wouldn’t say is fun, but I’m a big girl and you learn to handle it.
