Same, but I'll say this about Tux - I don't think I've ever seen him post anything negative. Endless, boundless, positive enthusiasm.

His tastes / interests might not be everyone's cup of tea but imo there's a lot of people here who could do well with taking a page from his book.

This 100%!!! Tux is an awesome Man.

I still don't know who JoJo is...?

Speaking of Unicorns,,,,,,,,, I have a 7 y/o Granddaughter (by Marriage). My goal in life is to torture her by hiding/claiming all of her toys as my own. Well, her favorite toy is a Unicorn. Whenever she's not looking, I hide it and attach notes to it that say "I Am a PIG". This drives her nuts. :laughing

I'm in the "nobody really cares anymore" crowd.

"Oh, you're gay. Cool. Where we gonna eat on the overnight? There's this cool place downtown, you coming?'

I honestly don't find it so brave and amazing when someone comes out as "Something" but doesn't say what it is.

She had a boyfriend, but she's not saying she's LGBTQ, just "came out"...as something?

Her bows are hideous :)

I had this very same thought. I assume gay because of the t-shirt, but she's prevaricating when asked specifics. Which is fine, but why even say anything? My guess is for youtube views.

I don't know who Jo Jo is either, but I guess I don't need to. Saying "yay!" to coming out is like wishing someone a happy birthday--it's a nice thing to do.

I know there is still a lot of homophobia in America but is there really in the art and entertainment industry? I'd even go so far as to say they are more represented in entertainment than society.

Yeah, the dude is pretty much a breath of fresh air in a stale room. And in person he's just as great. :thumbup


O, JoJo, right, whatever. More power to them. I'm old, cynical, nasty and a pervert.

There could be pushback from conservative parents w kids that are fans of JoJo since she's associated with Nickelodeon. It good that JoJo has the support of her family :thumbup

A lot of theater people are gay? I'm shocked! :laughing

She was a character on masked singer and I didn't know who she was then. some Hannah Montana tween girls type show I think.

There is something weirdly routine about famous youthful stars very publicly experimenting with gender with a ton of fol-de-rol accompanying it.

You wanna congrat JoJo? Fine. But it's probably a lot harder for some kid in Nowhere Neb to do so. If JoJo/Miley/whomever's declarations help it be easier for the nobody, I guess its a positive.

I'm not gay so I don't know how she feels, what her family pressures are, what struggles she's dealt with etc, but I've lived now with 3 non-celebrity gays and they'd all roll their eyes at her...my friends don't define themselves by their sexuality.

Gays are literally mainstream in TV, movies, reality TV....Drag Race, Queer Eye, etc. Virtually every teen girl has a gay bestie in media. The only people who hate the gays are not even their target audience.

Whoever she is, she got a bunch of motorcycle forum nerds talking about her, so there's that. :)

Funny how some celebrities are all about privacy and others over-share this stuff. I personally see this as an attention grab, but if she's some kind of role model and it helps someone else be more comfortable being who they are, great.
