Angelina Jolie Has Come Out!

Now, as the divorce reaches its final resolution and she reclaims the power of her own voice, Jolie is moving back toward the light of her original self. Her recent openness regarding her identity is not a calculated move for shock value or a desperate grab for cultural relevance. Instead, it is the natural consequence of a woman who has survived the fire and emerged with a refusal to ever disappear inside someone else’s story again. She is no longer interested in being a supporting character in a patriarchal narrative of the “scorned wife” or the “dutiful partner.”
