A lot of therapists talk about how part of their job is giving people the vocabulary they need to put their feelings into words so they can properly express them and how freeing that feeling can be. What I love about what she said is that everyone, well anyone who has gone through adolescence anyway, can identify with the feeling of not having the words to express what they're trying to say. Now, as a gay man myself I will absolutely agree that there is a whole other level to that when you are in the LGBTQ+ community, but the point I want to make is that you don't have to be in this community to identify with this feeling. More change happens when we realize just how capable we are of empathizing with each other, even those with different experiences from our own.

🤗Big hugs to Kelly & Cynthia for helping bring to light the struggles of people who are lgbtq+ OR just feeling awkward socially, for not "fitting in", but having no words to express why! ~~ Past middle-aged myself & finally 🙌 discovering I'm on the Austism Spectrum. Both of my sons & a granddaughter, would still "feel dumb" if they weren't diagnosed w/ learning disabilities.

I love her. I love this discussion. I’m so glad to be queer and even tho I wish I had this language was younger, am so grateful for it now and so excited to young ppl growing up now who can see something like this and identify with it. So beautiful!

Okay this explains why I love Cynthia so much. Much love for these two women ❤️

My husband has encountered her on a few projects. He says she's a true joy.

Societal & self education are so crucial in ending this world 🌎 😪 of "shame & blame". SO GRATEFUL to Kelly 💝 for having a show that helps end this world of apathy. You're helping all 9 of my grandkids Kelly — I L💜VE YOU fellow Texan 🤠🫂

[allentrice]

Now that's completely perfect for Cynthia and Kelly too! ❣️❤️😍🌹

[AsidaHabibi]

Thanks Cynthia for sharing and being open.

[chocolateangel]

I'm happy that she was finally comfortable enough to come out.

1:08 not everyone does and that is so important to understand. Sexuality can be fluid and it can change later in life or stay the same

[chefdave]

This day and age I think society has just accepted people that are gay. I know about every show that I binge watch has at least one gay couple men women are both kissing each other it's just kind of seems like standard now. Kelly the nails the dress OMG Baby you're the best as always love you to the moon the sun and the Stars. ❤️💕💗💞💓💖🌹

I pray the day will come when the queer community will not feel the need to "come out, " but just live and just be and, most importantly, be accepted.

Language can also be stigmatizing. Until there are no labels no one is free.

I grew up on MEN, !!! HELL! I got 7 brothers and 6 sisters very large Family INDEED. I often fantasized about getting married settling down and starting a family of my own nothing more I wanted in the world 🌍 was being accompanied by some cute masculine male. By the time I reached my late 20's going into my 30's my ❤️ was singing a brand new tune I had been introduced to an unfamiliar World 🌍 LGBT world 🌍 life hasn't been the same since me and my girl parted ways 15years ago I am now professing and proclaiming former lesbian WOMAN 🌈🌈🌈

[gmeshell]

It’s her life experiences at an early age. Obviously, she felt more comfortable with females than males.

I want to share with you truth and life. 

All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). God loves you. But God is holy and the punishment for sin is death. For the wages of sin is death,  but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23). Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14:6). God loves everyone, that's why He sent His son to this world (John 3:16). Jesus died on the cross and rose again on the third day for everyone. So that we may be saved.

Repent, believe in Jesus as Lord and Saviour and follow Him.

[RighteousWriter]

I am praying for everyone who has yet to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. You will die; when you do, heaven or hell awaits you.
Please choose this day who you will serve!

There is a huge difference between the term, 🏳️‍🌈”queer” and “lesbian “ 🌈. I may be wrong but just because we are ASSUMING (through widespread HYPE not fact), that Cynthia Erivo has an intimate sexual relationship with an Emmy award winner, IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THEY HAVE “HOOKED UP”. Y’all do not know THE REAL DEAL‼️ It is between the two💕of them and the public automatically believes what they perceive as being queer as being lesbian! 🚫NOT TRUE‼️ When it was taboo to be lesbian (“dyke “ or Lipstick Lesbians 💄💋)in years past, NOW in this day and age, it is NOT TABOO TO LABEL ONESELF AS QUEER 🏳️‍🌈and still be straight ! [Just as tattoos used to be considered subversive and now widely popular with Gen Z and Millennials! ] My opinion is that she ACCEPTS the concept of the queer/lesbian label as she is capable of loving the LBTQGIA community ! CHECK YOUR SOULS✨Only the Mighty Creator knows us inside out….not humanity’s opinion of her private life choices. Give it some DEEP thought 🤔🧐before you judge this GLOWING UP masterpiece of a BEAUTIFULLY GORGEOUS Black woman💎, who has pushed herself beyond her limits to become the absolute humble, gracious, and supremely stunning, talented songstress, athlete and gifted actor, that brings great scintillating JOY into our lives‼️🌟💥
