Who would you like to see come out as GC?

I think it's a bit unfair to say sitting on the fence about people who aren't political as part of their public self.
And if their career will be ruined if 'cancelled' I can see why keeping quiet seems the best option.
It is like current sportswomen not speaking out because they fear for funding or team selection.

MPs on the other hand are positively paid to speak up...

Yes, like Jo Brand — strong women who've kept their heads down and said nothing. Hugely disappointing.

Jo Brand, Victoria Coren Mitchell, Nigella Lawson, Clare Balding, Ian McKellern — all the people who've sat comfortably on the fence and tried to pretend nothing's happening in order to earn a few more million.

The irony re the intolerance part

Never in the history of the world has there been a less tolerant people than the TRAs.

Look at yourselves, fangirling celebs you imagine are as intolerant as you. What lovely people you all are.

Charlie Brooker and Sacha Baron Cohen would be amazing. I can't see that don't see the bullshit gaslighting behind all this. Some female comedians (as they all seem to be handmaidens) and gay men too.
I think Miranda Hart would be, there were a bunch of jokes in Miranda about people assuming she was a cross dressing man. Victoria cohen Mitchell surely is, she's so super clever, badass feminist, and one of those of famous people you convince yourself you'd be great friends with if you ever met.
I'm sure there are many more famous people that are GC but have watched what happened to jk Rowling and are in fear of being cancelled.

Gary Lineker, David Baddiel and Frank Skinner.

Come on Labour Party it's so annoying. Also having just this vile government being GC makes the rest of us look bad as it looks like we align with them.

Also like Billie Eilish, Zara Larsson has spoken out against porn, which are somewhat contiguous with GC views though not necessarily aligned. It's good to see Gen Z icons starting to have some critical thinking about 'sex positive' culture.

Harry Styles' "lovely open hearted" fans in Glasgow heckled Mitski because she is "different". Also Wolf Alice in Belgium (I think). I saw HS with Mitski as supporting Manchester. She's a Kate Bush/Bjork style singer and she was fucking awesome. What's not to love if you are an open minded kind of person.
Shows me how fucking cultish they are to heckle someone like that.
The point I'm making is that Harry Styles is probably afraid of upsetting such fans by being old-fashioned gender nonconforming but believing in biology.

OFGS. Honestly you'd think he'd tell it like it is instead of kowtowing to the mainstream. I guess that his main income is musical of Hairspray so he has to be in the cult to be accepted in theatreland.

Julia Davies - hasn't she said in an interview she has views that would see her cancelled if she mentioned them? So has Joan Collins.

Yay for Nazanin Z-R!

Couple more

Adele
Greta Thunberg - may take some doing!

I love how the Twitter thread about this this thread has turned into a similar string of speculations about who would/would not be GC. And why not? It’s OK for either side of the debate to speculate. But the difference is, people don’t get death and rape threats for declaring their support for gender ideology, and many do it because they feel compelled to or to get woke points, not because they actually believe it.

I think/hope that a good proportion of people mentioned will be GC but have been quietly keeping their heads below the parapet (and who could blame them).

I wish there was a secret society they could all join and then do a mass coming out - safety in numbers. It must be hard as many will fear for their livelihoods, but the BBC/other media can't block all of them.

I think someone like Aurora might be good from that generation. But I suspect it's unlikely.

Not as unlikely as Oprah, though. She's never seen woo she didn't like.

Kathy Bates - strong woman.

Of course George Michael would be GC. He was sensible and intelligent, he’d be like James Dreyfus. Can you imagine George being told to expect to encounter a “gay man with a vagina” while out cruising? He’d put that down straight away.

Sorry to break it to you, but no. John Waters pretty much is open minded to everyone except JKRowling per his recent NYTimes interview, ironically titled, "John Waters Is Ready to Defend the Worst People in the World"

'Everyone' apparently, like history tells us time and again, does not include women who refuse to toe the line.

"I have a thing about who I would cancel: J.K. Rowling. Give her some Preparation H for that transphobia. What’s the matter with her?"

This was said in the same breath defending Johnny Depp.

Graham Norton (unlikely)
Harriet Harman
Harry Styles would be brilliant!
Joan Bakewell
Grace Dent

You’d have to be incredibly brave to do this when it could lose you your livelihood doing something you are passionate about, not to mention being publicly reviled as a bigot.

J.K. Rowling’s treatment is a massive disincentive ☹️

Ooh deja-vu - we had a thread like this a few years ago.
All women but especially Joanna Lumley

He has, but not that recently and most of the stuff he has onstage is thrown by the fans so not his as such.
I've seen him with the original pride flag more this past year.
He definitely mentioned women, clearly meaning AHF over the US abortion ban.

RE: Julian Barrett - not sure how well the “I’ve got a Mangina!” sketch will have aged or how sympathetic that makes him look to TRAs…

Sarah Solemani
Daisy May Cooper

Its got to br Kier Starmer. I can't won't Tory as that goes against everything I believe in.

I will vote Labout but unhappy at their stance re this. So I hope they clarify the position- and I doubt they are far off!
