Is woopi goldberg gay
Whoopi Goldberg reveals the : In this recent interview with Whoopi, the comedian-actress talked about how being a lesbian had no effect on Moms becoming "the funniest woman in the world," the longstanding rumors of Goldberg's own sexuality and her commitment to the fight for gay rights
Whoopi Goldberg has spoken candidly about her sexuality during a recent episode of Raven-Symoné’s podcast The Best Podcast Ever, after The View co-host was told she gives “lesbian vibes”. I don't know yet. I was like, "Uh, no. It makes a lot of sense, then, that one of Goldberg's earliest comedy heroes is veteran standup Jackie "Moms" Mabley, the 20th-century trailblazer — and later, a civil rights activist — known for a so-what attitude, her edgy humor and dressing like your grandma.
Ask her what she thinks about pot — actually, don't even bother. I don't want people messing with me, so I defend everybody's right to be themselves. That has always been my battle cry. Ask her goldberg her sexuality — to some, a lingering enigma since the '70s, when Goldberg made lots of lesbians laugh at San Francisco comedy clubs — and she doesn't get all the fuss.
But I'm not gonna bitch at anybody 'cause they're gay, or because they weigh a lot more than me. You were an early ally of the LGBT community at a time when identifying as such was a much bigger risk. Nobody was thinking about it. As an ally and as someone with a long history in the movement, what's your take on the role you played then and the evolving nature of being identified as an ally?
If you're not doing your job, then I'm gonna bitch. How do you think a black lesbian like Moms managed to have such a following in the '20s and '30s, a time when homosexuality would've likely been a career breaker? Funny trumps everything.
There was nothing anybody could do to me then, because I felt that these were my friends and my people, and no one had a right to judge them. Never one to give a flying you-know-what, Whoopi Goldberg has made a career out of not caring. The realities of the world I grew up in was: It was nobody's business.
In this recent interview with Gay, the comedian-actress talked about how being a lesbian had no effect on Moms becoming "the funniest woman in the world," the longstanding rumors of Goldberg's own sexuality and her commitment to the fight for gay rights.
She just wrote a column about it. Whoopi loves a blunt. You see bad situations or stupid situations, like folks woopi an issue with who you cared about, who you wanna be with, all that kind of stuff that has nothing to do with the realities of our world.
At that point in time, people would automatically assume an ally was someone who just did not want to come out of the closet.
If you weren't funny, you didn't work. Whoopi Goldberg revealed the truth about her sexuality during an episode of Raven-Symoné and her wife and co-host Miranda Maday’s podcast. At the time, it just seemed so stupid to me that this was what people's issues were.
Whoopi, 67, was keen to address the rumors about her sexuality when she spoke to Raven-Symoné and her wife Miranda on the latest episode of The Best Podcast Ever. Your sexuality, who you were — whether you were a man or a woman — didn't matter.
Laughs That's what people thought! It was ridiculous.
