Gay comedians defend Sarah Silverman amid Kevin Hart Oscars rowA number of LGBT+ comedians have defended Sarah Silverman after Nick Cannon resurfaced old tweets they had posted containing homophobic slurs and asked “if there was any backlash here”. There's more HUGE to-do behind the scenes with this--been brewing for years. There's a lot of resentment & bitterness among many (including many prominent black entertainers) who are ANGRY that they are not 'allowed' to 'make fun of' 'certain' people. (Meaning us LGBTQ folk.) But if you don't know the difference between someone who'll lose a high profile gig because he's disinterested in apologizing for reprehensible remarks and folks who have been clear and visible allies... I wonder when the Oscars acadamy will realize noone watches anymore... the audience is dwindling yoy. Which to me is a glorious thing as it is a true testament that the audience has evolved. People just cannot relate.
