  1. >Speaking to Vanity Fair about her upcoming remake of Ang Lee’s queer rom-com The Wedding Banquet, the Star Wars actress felt emboldened to step into her truth on the record for the first time. “I haven’t said this publicly yet, but I’m a queer person,” shared Tran.

    >She added of her involvement in queer filmmaker Andrew Ahn’s remake, “The thing that really excited me about it was I got to play a person that I felt like I knew. I don’t feel like I’m acting at all in this movie.”

    >”I’m here doing this amazing movie with these amazing people,” said Tran. “I’ve never been in a queer space before. I’ve never truly felt this accepted before.”

  6. Jesus Christ ppl in the comments, calm down, a lot of people just use the word queer because it’s not your business what their specific labels are and maybe they don’t want one to announce that pinpoints exactly what they’re doing in the bedroom. It just means not straight-cis.

  8. We were wrong.

    It shouldn’t have been Finn x Poe. It should have been Rose x Rey.

    Actually…

    *Why not both?*

    And I say that as someone who really dislikes the Sequels but the cast was NOT the problem. They were all great! It’s everything else that let them down.

  9. No wonder there was no chemistry with her and Finn.

  14. Is queer it’s own thing separate from lesbian, bi, or tran?

  16. So this is what Finn was trying to tell Rey in Rise of Skywalker.

  17. Interesting quote. Wonder if “coming out” in Hollywood is comparable to being love bombed and then indoctrinated

  18. What a vague buzzword. Is she gay, bisexual, transgender, transvestite, intersex, bigender, asexual, agender, identifies as attack helicopter, pansexual, new-half, crossdresser, or some other category? This article talks far more about her past roles and the next movie she is in rather then anything about her coming out.

  19. Is it a big deal to be queer or is it normal and not news worthy?

  21. She came out right before the concentration camps!?

  22. She probably has issues with men now after all those losers gave her shit for being in Star Wars even though she’s a great actor.

  23. Queer people in the entertainment industry? Wow. Never saw that coming

  24. I better stop jerking off to my rose tico action figure

  25. So she’s… bi? Queer is such a weird term. I have always known it to be offensive to LGBT people. The way people use it now is very ambiguous. It’s like coming out without actually coming out.

  28. Well, that explains the lack of chemistry. Im sure r/saltierthancrait will take this well.

  29. Yeah!!!

    “Whenever someone steps up and declares who they really are, the world becomes a better, more interesting place.”

    You have my supper Kelly Marie Tran!

  30. When are people going to stop “coming out” and just live their lives. Your sexual preferences shouldn’t matter to anyone but you and your partners and shouldn’t define your personality.

  31. Sorry but the time to get clout from this was about six years ago

  33. Does this make Rose Tico a “Disney’s First Gay Character”?
