@user-tp8qk6zg9c5 months ago I'm a 63 year old white straight female, I live on a planet with over 7 billion other people. For me to think everyone should behave the same as I do is ludacris! We should just live our lives and let others do the same. ... 943

@

@zoyadulzura74909 months ago Tom Hardy going, "Are you asking me about my sexuality? Why?" is an amazing response. He's polite, while not playing any games and effectively avoiding the question. 2056
@

@DeadSezSo5 months ago RIP Heath Ledger, one of the biggest "what could have been" stories in hollywood. He was so talented and was already well-regarded. 432

@EmmaAndEmmaAndEmma4 months ago Although it doesn’t quite fit the list, Robin Williams protecting Nathan Lane from being outed on Oprah’s show always stands out to me. What a class act and model of friendship. 304
@

@kiradatteilast year "Why defend yourself against something that isn't offensive."
I didn't care one way or another about Johnny Galecki, but now I absolutely respect him. 3751
@

@mariocossa991last year Here's another with a Barbara Walters' interview, many years ago, with Richard Gere. She asked him if it bothered him that people supposed he was gay after he was in the play: BENT. His answer was simply, "no." As Barbara looked at him expecting him to say more, he looked at her and said: "Barbara, there's nothing wrong with being gay." ... 2249
@

@hexacomb49465 months ago I love tom hardy’s response was just “what on earth are you on about?” 156
@

@DennisTheInternationalMenace3 months ago Johnny Galecki dated Sara Gilbert and towards the end, She confided in him and stoodby her side and kept it a secret until she was ready. That is very admirable! 63

@

@nomizaklast year I respect Whoopi for apologizing to Johnny Galecki for asking that question. She literally said she should've read the question first. Not many interviewers would say that. 1833
@

@flickrennelslast year Heath Ledger’s- “…and if you can’t understand that, then just don’t go see the movie” ❤ 561
@

@CanadianSmoke6 months ago Marriage is between two people who love each other. 183

@

@Mcflyeonlast year As a gay guy myself, it's satisfying to hear them calling out homophobic and standing up on our behalf including with Chris Evans 2172
@

@brookelynnenewcomer943last year Just because my bisexuality makes you confused doesn't make me confused. 1119
@

@snakeshadows69934 months ago Truth is, people can't help but speculate about someone's sexuality. Even as a straight man, I've had people question my sexuality. I haven't had a girlfriend in years. I'm also still a virgin. One guy I worked with would try and hook me up with women I wasn't interested in. When I said I wasn't interested, he would accuss me of being gay. He actually said it in a malicious manner.
It really is simple: Don't be so damn nosey when it comes to people's sexual preferences. They don't owe you an explanation in that regard. If they wanna talk about it, they will. If they don't, they don't have to. ... 50
@

@p.b.44644 months ago I've failed to appreciate how witty and funny David Bowie was. 76
@

@Littlereddevil94last year Judy Garland may have had an absolutely terrible life but she wasn't homophobic. I can respect a woman like that. 1629
@

@SensationalBanana5 months ago Laverne Cox... I love her to bits. I said so out loud to workmates once and they immediately asked me if I'm gay.
I said yes, I'd be gay for her, and thanked them for acknowledging that trans women, are women. 😘😘 ... 37
@

@phoebecurless6584 months ago I really don’t understand why Barbara Walter’s was ever considered a great interviewer. She has such an extensive history of being invasive, insensitive, ignorant, and just straight up rude. 18
@

@gyrus.2211last year As someone who has been outed in a way that was traumatic for me, I really appreciated Ricky Martin’s metaphor of the egg. 1433
@

@figmo3979 months ago Paul McCartney's comeback to Tom Snyder's "What else is there besides girls?" was perfect! I laughed out loud. 502
@

@andrewmark27832 weeks ago Back in the 1920s a young Joan Crawford became best friends with a gay actor called William Haines. He refused to keep his sexuality secret and so the studios ruined his career. Crawford, by this point a star on the rise, stood by him and helped him become a very successful and sought after interior designer. Joan called William and his partner the happiest couple in Hollywood. ... 6
@

@FoodieVacations5 months ago I miss Heath. And Jodie was only 17 when they asked her about her love life. She should have said…. I’m only 17… not headed for spinsterhood? Who are YOU seeing? 😂 27
@

@grantsanderson5874last year As an openly gay man, why the hell does someone else’s sexuality or what they choose to do with another CONSENTING adult matter so damn much to straight people? I can’t wrap my head around that. There would be less problems in the world if people chose kindness and love instead of hate and/or bigotry. This video made me happy. The responses from these celebrities that I credit for giving me the strength to be who i am, makes me feel so warm inside. I understand if the questions are coming from a point of curiosity and actually TRYING to understand, but when those questions are coming from a hateful place, thats where i get confused. ... 908
@

@natep6729last year I have massive respect for people who stood up for our community in the 70s, 80s 90s. People like Madonna, David Bowie, and especially Judy Garland because at least, nowadays you have an army of celebrities and fans coming to your defense and standing up together with you but back in the days they were alone. They had balls of steel. Huge props to people like Madonna for contributing to gay acceptance in hollywood. What she did at her time was truly revolutionary. ... 885
@

@frufruJlast month "The actor eloquently called out the invasive question."
Hardy: "Why?"
The voiceover is priceless 😂 5
@

@simonegodwin74493 months ago Tom Hardy more or less said "I'm at work, why the personal questions?" 8
@

@the8wavelast year I like what Ricky Martin said about the egg. An egg forcibly cracked open produces nothing but death, but an egg that opens on its own accord creates a beautiful life (I’m paraphrasing). I think it’s a great analogy for many aspects of a persons life. Forcing someone to reveal their true self can be devastating, whatever that truth may be. ... 478
@

@smallfire93last year I'm a bisexual man myself, and what pisses me off is people asking me am I more into men or women, or saying there's no such thing. In fact, I was telling a former friend about a guy I was into at the time, and she had the nerve to say, "You're totally gay." I mean, I like to joke with my friends when they say I'm the "gayest straight guy, and the straightest gay guy." At the end of the day, I am me, I love and accept myself for who I am, so why does it matter to you how I swing? ... 434
@

@emilybump76065 months ago I remember when Louis Tomlinson if he “appreciated gay fans, straight fans, both?” Louis said that all fans are fans of the music, and it doesn’t matter what they are. He seemed a bit taken aback by the question, and it is a bit weird to ask lol ... 16
@

@sloweddown4u3 weeks ago I really don’t understand how people STILL don’t get that your sexuality doesn’t just change from bisexual to straight or gay depending on who you’re with. You’re always bisexual. 6
@

@sophieamandaleitontoomey93438 months ago Man Heath Ledger’s interview was just so beautiful.
Such a terrible loss so many years later. 402
@

@IaneHowelast year "Why defend yourself of something that is not offensive " was the best explanation ever. Everyone should use it from now on 746
@

@LarisseMontrose5 months ago Non-practicing bisexual still kills me lmao 37
@

@ozozanka5 days ago the fact that caitlyn jenner is against gay marriage absolutely fascinates me considering she was married to a woman for like 20 years 2
@

@DanGamingFan2846last year Laverne Cox's clapbacks are legendary. And I love that how tolerant and protective of her fans Judy Garland was so many decades ago. 1374
@

@michaelpowers28608 months ago Ryan Reynolds response is truly endearing "I'm not a monster! I think it''s a great thing!" in regards to gay marriage <3 355
@

@ziggythedrummer5 months ago I'll be honest, if I ever met Chris Evans I'd probably react the same way Scott Lang did in Civil War 🤣 12
@

@timbpmusic5 months ago The Jane Fonda answer was my favourite. Women like these make me glad to be alive. 13
@

@ryanedwards7487last year Every time Chris Evans is outspoken and stands on the right side so openly, I am reminded of just how brilliant Marvel's casting of him as Captain American in 2010 (I think that's when he was cast and started shooting "The First Avenger") truly was. If Steve Rogers could pick one person to play Steve Rogers, I feel like Evans would have been one of his top picks. ... 411
@

@violetoderwald6535last year Mark my words guys: Just because you're Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, or Queer NEVER means that you're from another planet.
In the words of Freddy Mercury: "Can anybody find me somebody to love?" ... 560
@

@SatoshiMatrix15 months ago Part of being an alley is learning from mistakes. Like many people, I remember being a teenager and thinking calling something or someone "gay" was an insult. I was in college when I met someone openly out for the first time and I was a full blown working adult when I met someone transgender for the first time. I'm sure I've made plenty of offensive remarks throughout my youth. I can only reflect upon them and learn from them and be a better person in the future. ... 28
@

@s-c..last month Honestly, this video would’ve been much better if we could hear more of the actual interviews & a lot less of the voiceover about the interviews. 6
@

@LadyOpulence11 months ago Bisexual/pansexual people remember that you do not owe the world or society a homosexual relationship. Your sexuality is completely valid regardless of who you are with. 141
@

@emq689211 months ago i remember when brokeback first came out, infamous, boys making fun of it, was 12/13 at the time and being gay was still very hush hush. so when i did watch it, alone, i felt like i was watching something illegal.
it was life changing. i cried and sobbed, hit me like titanic. just beautiful. but almost impossible to explain to some ... 628
@

@Nem015 months ago I will never understad why the hell people think they have any business or say in other peoples lives, let alone their sexuality. 11
@

@cory_and_colast month I know that it should be a given that celebrities are supportive, but some of these people while I was watching I was like "oh, they support me??" and I genuinely almost cried, this made my day so much better 2
@

@QuirkyQuillifylast year I had a crush on a former coworker and really wanted to find out about his sexuality. I felt we had such a great rapport, but I didn't know how to feel not knowing if he's interested or not. Still, I never asked.
Eventually, he left our company. We went out for coffee and he told me that he's gay, and he'd rather not everyone knows since he's still closeted. We remain good friends today. I am learning so much about the LGBTQ community because of him. It's a valuable relationship in my life. ... 184
@

@bodacioustness50549 months ago About a million years ago, Maury Povich had a trans woman on his show and remarked that she was, in so many words, one of the "better" looking ones he'd seen. She told him that the statement was "unkind," pointing out that there is a variety of looks among all people, and saying that about her denigrated others. ... 167
@

@MetFan37last month The interview I'll always remember is when Jim Carrey and Ewan MacGregor made "I Love You, Philip Morris". The interviewer asked Jim "What's it like to kiss Ewan MacGregor?" And without missing a beat, Jim said "What do you mean? Look at him!!" ... 3
@

@Sailor_alanlast year Its funny that Cher isn't on this list yet she's probably one of the most vocal allies 253
@

@petrnovak7235last year I feel for Anna Paquin. Being bi myself, I see this kind of confusion quite a lot. It's unfortunate people still have misunderstanding as to what bisexuality is. 649
@

@Teamo863 months ago Chris Evans once said, whenever somebody criticizes somebody elses sexuality, it's because they themselves have deep insecurities. 4
@

@asterzplayz59103 months ago I remember watching videos from you all in 2015 - 2016. It’s great to see you all talking about this kind of thing! Good to see you all again. Have a wonderful rest of your day. 2

@craighoughton74994 months ago Did they not do their research to find out that Ariana Grande has a gay brother. 7
@

@mariagomez32975 months ago Love how David laughs at it and no get mad love him so tolerant ❤❤ 7
@

@Kinosho_Kawakami7 months ago banning a movie simply for having a kiss in it... it's just a kiss. it's warming. it's nice. it's sensitive. it's loving. it's romantic. everything nice and good about loving someone and they ban it because of that. how much hate do you have to have in you to ban a movie because of a kiss? ... 386
@

@emq689211 months ago wow Anna Paquin handled Larry so well. the way hes sitting with his arm crossed in front of him closed off. shes still open and mindful even he tells her to stop when she genuinely makes a point. clap 139
@

@nancilane50692 months ago This was an excellent video! Thanks MsMojo! 1
@

@ambereccles5 months ago "are you a non practicing bisexual" is insane 7
@

@bunnyveverka742110 months ago As a bisexual, I get annoyed when people say “oh you’re gay now” or “oh you’re straight now” because of who a bisexual is dating. It’s like this. A werewolf isn’t a wolf when in wolf form and a human when they aren’t transformed, they are always werewolves, no matter what form they are in. Bisexuality is kind of like that, just it’s way cooler that being a wolf. ... 118
@

@samanthawolters175last year I love how Whoopi was just as thrown off and confused about the question on the card and then apologized for having had to ask such a stupid question in the first place! 150
@

@zaydae63943 months ago This could be a very good video for society but you talk too much. Let the actual recording be played and then respond don’t talk over them. 45

@Minyassa5 months ago This was really encouraging and heartwarming to see, thank you for compiling this list. 19
@

@billydean21309 months ago ‘Why defend yourself against something that’s not offensive “ ~ what a great response to such an asinine question! 68
@

@stephaniemantle5029last year Not really a comment on homophobic interviewers, but Dan Levy's comment "I have no patience for homophobia" in response to how he wrote Patrick and David's story in Schitt's Creek always stands out to me ... 58
@

@Nastyboy2694 months ago I doubt King had malicious intent with that question, which is why Anna answered the way she did.
When a family member came out my Grandmother from that generation said “I don’t get it, but it’s not my life and if she’s happy that’s all I care about.” ... 3
@

@evaandava24394 months ago I love Paul McCartney, his response to the interviewer was amazing ❤ 5
@

@TheCatWitch63last year It’s too bad this list doesn’t include people like Elizabeth Taylor, who was a major advocate and ally long before it became fashionable. She’s right up there with Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli and so many other icons that were allies in favor of respecting diversity and people’s dignity above all else. ... 309
@

@mojo3067last year How Barbara Walters maintained stardom is beyond me. Most of her interviews I have seen have been of bullying tactics. She needed to be called out and stop being hailed as this great journalist. Her interview with Corey Feldman sealed any respect I ever had for her. ... 115
@

@ladyethyme2 weeks ago 'Practicing bisexual' 😂🤣
Leslie saying you like both salads and hamburgers. Just because I happen to be having a salad does not mean that I have stopped liking hamburgers....... 1
@

@CybeleCotter4 months ago Who cares if homophobes are offended? They're certainly offensive. 4
@

@yasminechoerryscherry370111 months ago the biggest error here comes from not understanding the fact that sexual or romantic orientation is not something that you practice but rather something that you ARE. You don't "practice" bisexuality you just are bi ... 50
@

@LegendaryPhenomlast year As a gay man myself, I'm glad to see those celebs protect what should have never been labeled as abnormal, we all deserve 😘💕 115
@

@ELP11254 months ago Out of the 8+ billion ppl on Earth, everyone isn't the same height, race, gender, etc. So why expect everyone to have the same sexuality 4
@

@cathiemills6193last year I feel like nobody really talks about how pushy of an interviewer Barbara Walters actually was… 197
@

@heyysimonelast year That question to Ariana Grande is ridiculous. Her answer was perfect about thinking its all girls have to choose between 254
@

@turnoffthetv3 weeks ago The Anna Paquin one always reminds me of when one of my work teams found out I was pan. A coworker blurted out, "But you're married!" />"Yes?"
"TO A MAN."
"Yes? I still find women hot, I'm just monogamous."
The surprised Pikachu face was priceless. ... 1
@

@markusp.8376last year I dated a girl who was bisexual. She was attracted to feminine women and masculine men. Anything in between was a no go. Anyways, while she was with me she was all for me. She never asked if she could mess with a woman or anything related. Sadly, we broke up due to covid keeping us separated. Different states/us territory. We couldn't see each for two years ... 206
