RichAssPiss 4,929 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I don't even understand. He want to avoid discussing his sexuality but randomly asked the crowd who is bisexual and then said "I am"? How does that even happen? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A queer reporter, for a queer publication, asked an actor who is playing a queer character, about the difficulties in talking about his own queer experiences to the media...not only was it a totally reasonable question, but Tom's awkward and dismissive response completely confirms why the reporter needed to ask the question. Love Tom, but this was some awkward ****. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Tom, but this was some awkward ****. But I think the more important notion to take from this is Tom chose the role, he's obviously secure enough to play a queer character (if he is straight), in this regard, why does it matter what his sexuality is? It has no bearing on his performance. Furthermore, why ask someone's sexuality during a press conference, rude. It's not like he was Eddie Redmayne playing a trans character and the movie is all about transness, or Sean Penn playing Harvey Milk and it being all about his fight for gay rights. Tom Hardy's film didn't revolve around the LGBTQ+ experience. That's the difference, for me, anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's semantics, really. Nothing is wrong with experimenting and figuring out your sexuality. But for decades, "just a phase" has been used to explain gay people away and minimize their experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reporter asked if it was difficult for him to speak publicly about his queer experiences. That isn't rude. It's a particularly appropriate question given Tom was promoting a project about two famously queer public figures who struggled with addressing their sexuality publicly. That is why a queer publication was invited to the press conference. Tom's evasion of the question made the question more poignant. In my opinion.

Lmao idk about y'all but I don't really like when people ask my sexuality, unless I'm at the free clinic so For me it's literally the equivalent to when reporters asked Britney if she was still a virgin when she was like 19 or whatever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q: Are you asking me my sexuality? A: Sure Sure = yes, confirmation. So we can agree the question, regardless how you ask, is "what is your sexuality?" Y'all got me so worked up about this and all I wanna do is enjoy my @Tom Hardy fantasy OKAY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
