Reposting as I just don't think folks get it.
In 2017…… So far this year….
25 known celebrities have come out so far. (B listers or higher or have a decent fandom’s). With rumors of quite a few planning to come out before the end of the year.
Once you add c and d list actors, you are looking at several hundred. (I got tired of going through lists and counting and pulling news articles).
Thats huge.
Four b listers and three clisters even came out as transgender. (That I know of. Could be higher).
And they are talking about the bullshit in Hollywood and professional sports and even in theater. They aren’t just hiding after releasing a statement.
So while PR might be frustrating to those that are woke and see through the bullshit, to the general audience its still a story. Please realize how much change has happened this year so far.
(And for once it isn’t because agent orange is fucking shit up)
To add…
That doesn’t mean the bullshit just went away.
Do you all not understand?
X almost overdosed on a cocktail of alcohol and pills because he was set to come out publicly and was told he would never work here again and his career would be over. He got scared. This is his life. His career. Being told he won’t get the jobs he wants because he is himself?
On that same hand, its a choice A makes easily and he is okay with it. And yeah I benefit from it. But we are also really good friends, he knows I would never overstep and that I would only put my minis over protecting him.
Some people are okay with making that choice. Some people make it under duress. bearding isnt bad. Especiakky when it protects someine that feels they need protected. Not everyone is upset with doing it.
