The Internet Is Obsessed With Jennifer Coolidge's Response When A Reporter Asked Her About Her LGBTQ+ Fans
Jennifer Coolidge recently talked with People at The Tryst Puerto Vallarta: Opening Night Party in Mexico. During the conversation, the reporter asked, "How is the gay fan base different than any other fan base? What do you love about having them love you so much?" Jennifer has long voiced her support for her LGBTQ+ fans. In 2023, the White Lotus actor received a standing ovation at the 34th annual GLAAD Media Awards. "You know, I have so much respect for the LGBTQ community and I just want you all to know that I love you and I thank you for always being there for me," she said. Jennifer replied, "Maybe heterosexual people are more self-conscious." After taking a beat to think about her response, Jennifer said, "I think gay men and gay women just let loose and have a blast. They know how to have a really, really good — really fun time." Related: 28 Celebs Who Never Seem To Get Canceled Despite Some Pretty Awful Behavior "They're really original, you know. They're a superior group of people." Listen, I knew Jennifer was mother, but I fear she could never top this statement. She wasn't playing around when her character Tanya said, "Gay guys are really the best if you're looking for a friend."

Gay men are also the funniest quick witted natural comedians as a general rule." Another person said, "Jennifer Coolidge only speaks the truth." One person suggested the reason for Jennifer's declaration about her LGBTQ+ fans is because "they are not policing everyone else." Another user added, "They ain't got nothing to hide & have already been thru it all. They just wanna live authentically & have a gay ol' time doing it." Someone said there's "Collective Gay Cheering 4 This Diva," and based on the GLAAD Awards reception, they're not wrong. Lastly, this person wrote, "mama said it right there," and that's on period. Before you get your britches in a bunch, I'm sure Jennifer adores all her fans, but it doesn't hurt to show her LGBTQ+ fans a little extra love — and we love her back. Thank you, Jennifer!

Jojo Siwa Chris Hughes Big Brother drama sparks backlash over flirtation and boundaries
Tension is rising among Celebrity Big Brother viewers as the relationship between JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes continues to stir conversation. While the pair have developed a noticeable bond in the house, recent moments aired on the show have raised concerns, especially due to Hughes' flirtatious behavior toward Siwa, who is openly in a same-sex relationship. In one recent scene, Siwa, 21, casually asked Hughes, 32, if he wanted spaghetti. He replied playfully, referencing Lady and the Tramp. 'No,' Siwa clarified, 'but we can have some together.' Hughes then responded, 'For you, absolutely anything,' calling her 'darling.' In addition to the flirty banter, Hughes' physical gestures have drawn concern. As Siwa rested with her eyes closed, Hughes leaned in to apply lip balm with his finger, startling her. 'It's my finger, don't worry,' he assured, then added, 'Would I ever?' Siwa, with a smirk, replied, 'Yeah,' to which Hughes admitted, 'Probably would actually, yeah.' Earlier in the season, Hughes joked about having children with Siwa, saying, 'I have good swimmers,' and claiming their kids would 'have great eyes.' He's also referred to her as his 'girlfriend.' These exchanges quickly drew backlash online, with many viewers criticizing them as inappropriate and dismissive of Siwa's identity. In a preview of the next episode, Hughes is seen tearfully defending himself in the diary room, saying, 'I'm literally just in here being me.' His brother Ben Hughes, in an interview on Lorraine, described the duo as simply close friends. Meanwhile, Siwa remains committed to Australian influencer Kath Ebbs. The couple went public in early 2025 and attended the GLAAD Awards together in March. Siwa described the relationship as 'mature' and 'beautiful.'
