Barry Manilow comes out. Also: bear & Pope news
I was expecting that his Twitter @mentions would probably have loads of people being scathing about everyone knowing already (I totally didn't) along the Pope shitting in the woods line as in this article, and a serious smattering of anti-SJWs giving him grief.
But I went to have a look, and while there are a tiny handful of "yeah girl we all knew" replies, and good-natured "oh no now I have no chance" messages from presumably-women, the overwhelming mass of messages are lovely, kind and supportive. I'm not a particular fan of his music, but he seems like a nice person, and his fans seem to be a very lovely bunch.
And I've proved myself wrong about something! Always a good day when that happens, and this time it's a positive thing I've learned: The world turned out to be a less horrible, hostile place than I thought, which is lovely news.
Re: Barry Manilow comes out. Also: bear & Pope news
I just thought the headline was genius.
