Didn’t Protect the Dolls arise as a result of the Supreme Court ruling? Which the government she is part of supports.

Pedro Pascal is a perfectly good supporting actor, who for some mysterious reason is appearing in everything as the lead actor, to not very impressive effect. My best theory is that Hollywood execs are trying to subvert the old concept of the masculine leading man by taking the least masculine male actor around and giving him every lead role going.

Anyway, Pascal is super political, super left wing, never shuts up about his causes, I believe has a trans sibling, and showed up at some event wearing a "Protect the Dolls" t-shirt, giving visibility to the slogan. It was then picked up by elderly pop singer Madonna, and every other celebrity wanting a fashionable cause.

Nandy is downstream of all that.

I've seen a lot of speculation that Pascal is closeted. If he is, I can understand why. I suspect lots of roles might be closed to him because Hollywood would be less likely to cast him as a leading man. The same studios and directors that think they're so progressive.

The glowstick dance was extremely camp.

Surely the point about those tee-shirts is, even if you don't properly understand the reference, it just sounds creepy AF.

I just presumed Pascal Pedro was gay, it’s only recently I realised that he isn’t, or at least not publicly. I’ve seen other comments under articles etc that thought this too.

I have no idea if he's gay, I just get an extremely gay vibe from him.

You never seem to hear about him dating anyone, and I know that doesn't tell you anything given how many obviously gay actors are "dating" opposite sex actors. The entertainment industry goes in for an enormous amount of pinkwashing but still doesn't seem to be able to cope with LGB stars.

I quite liked Pedro Pascal in Narcos and was disappointed to find he was such a wet blanket.

I thought Pascal was excellent in Game of Thrones (he plays a flamboyant and fashionable bisexual foreign prince who spectacularly loses a no-rules boxing ring style fight-to-the-death due to his own relentless showboating)

Not seen him in anything else but his overexposure & red carpet/interview behaviour has me expecting him to be publicly MeTooed at some point in the not too distant future. No idea if I expect his eventual accusers to be male or female, or both (as in multiple people of both sexes, not as in people who claim to be both sexes).

The original celeb version is from London fashion week (AW 2025 collections) and raises money for Translifeline (a charity with an extremely shady history!)

Whole history of them on the terrible fruit site IIRC.

I thought TLllL had died a death after the founders were exposed as stupid grifters. I’m off for a gander.

Is that an analogy for something wider?
