Your paper has no god-given right to know anything about the private life of anyone
I don’t claim to speak on behalf of Rebel Wilson
But for LGBTQIA+ people the consequences of what is nothing more than a hissy fit over who gets to print gossip can have devastating effects https://t.co/mzrpHTsoU5— Magda Szubanski AO (@MagdaSzubanski) June 13, 2022
Other fans are happy that Wilson came out during Pride Month, a time when those part of the LGBTQIA+ community feel comfortable expressing themselves and loving who they love.
Pride month is like gay version of Masked Singer. You never know which celebrity is gonna reveal themselves but I wasn’t gonna guess Rebel Wilson
