Regardless of good or bad, right and wrong, she DECIDED to make a living by having other human listen and look at her. That was her choice. She’s very successful at it. She knew the risk, there’s nothing surprising about such a gossip or sad. That’s part of the job she CHOSE to do. If you’re a sewage worker (which I highly respect) you know you will get into shit. Same here. Different shit.
It’s all good but humans are humans and you’re don Quichotte fighting a wind mill. A gossip of her having a new boyfriend is the same for me as being lesbian; uninteresting and irrelevant on itself. This thread thought is what is wrong. Signalling it as “different”, That’s the problem. And that’s what needs to change. The fight should aim at making the gossip of her being lesbian or not as a boring and uninteresting - and not newsworthy. Because, honestly, that’s exactly what that is in a world of diversity
Last note, when I was a teenager in the 80’s, learning even a remote gossip of a star being “like me” gave me hope, confidence, and belief in my future in this world. There’s a lot of little gender queer 12 years old kids at the moment that would read this gossip as a ray of sunshine. So for me, I really don’t give a crap about @ million $$$ star who made money from stardom having gossips about a new love interest of any kind.
