“There has been a dramatic swing back against gay rights. It’s pretty horrific. I have certain, quite old- fashioned opinions on trans stuff… and I do occasionally like to debate what direction should be taken with children and all that,” he said.

Translation: I used to be against it until I realized how much power they controlled.

“But what has happened means there isn’t even room for those conversations anymore because trans people are under full attack from the government. The amount of legislation that is being passed, how the Right-wing has glommed on to gay and trans people as a target is so ferocious.”

Translation: See guys, don't cancel me, I'm saying what you want me to!

He continued: “It’s like a war now. You have to fight for one side or the other, which is never good for anyone. But I’m a gay person with lots of trans friends and so I have to choose that side.”

Translation: I don't want to take this stance but I'm being forced to by those around me.

Where do these celebrities get off on playing a victim so publicly?
