tina, they’re gay

God I hope the future is kinder. I hope that they have it figured out better. I hope people don't have to work so much for so little. I hope there's time to explore passions and interests and skills. I hope people get the support they need. I hope the people from the future look back at our problems and are bewildered by them, like I'm confused by how they used to put poisonous lead in make-up, just... "how did they ever think that was okay? How did they live like that?" I hope the cruelties and hidden poisons of our world are one day so distant that they're used as fun facts in trivia games. Please be kinder, future

Rejection sensitive dysphoria is wild. Someone will be like “hey just so you know the thing you did was a little bit loud/uncomfortable/insensitive but it’s ok I know you didn’t mean it” and my brain will instantly translate “you should be shot”

The fun other side of this too is when you are afraid of making other people feel that way so you just let shit go 90% of the time even when it’s reasonable and valid to make a comment/critique/etc

I love gay things tbh I love the joy that gay things bring me I'm here only for gay things

it must be incredibly complicated to navigate talking about this kind of story so publicly while being in the closet, especially with all the criticism he’s gotten in the past month or so, and i’m very very proud of him. even just on a personal level trying to talk to people i love around me about gay topics while not being out to them already feels like i’m tiptoeing through a minefield, so i can’t imagine how complex it must be for him.

“he accepts that he’s going to deny this part of himself for a long time”

It’s really clear to me that when he speaks most coherently, its on the things that are most personal and honest. When he stumbles, he is avoiding some personal truth. devastating

me: im giving up *still has hope*

Not the interviewer going "it's so inspiring" about (the film? Her role?) and Florence going "why is it so inspiring???" 😭 but then she says "it's inspiring for a woman to push back"

And then she said “on and off screen” !!
