When he said Henry Hill, my first thought was "Did he mean Harold Hill from The Music Man? That's an odd costume choice" 😄

[jennifercalverleywraight]

I totally realize this is not and should not be the focus of this interview....but where did Harper get her glasses? I love them!

[jadenthomas]

Is there a documentary trailer for this yet?

[ADH_Addy]

This is fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. As a trans person this makes me so happy.

[kennywilliams]

Their chemistry makes me want to see the full film.

[wildfireorganics]

Bravo and Brava!! I’m SO excited to see this film! These are conversations that need to be had and I applaud them both for their bravery in this!

[thermometredupochard]

Thank you Will and Harper for doing this interview. Your words mean a lot for our community!

[jjbobby]

This is wonderful! New respect for Will and I can’t wait to see it

[babs_babs]

[Safe-and-effective]

It's so special. their chemistry. Makes me want to be a social engineer using the entertainment industry as my mouthpiece.

[whateverwhatever]

The trailer for the doc made me laugh and cry at the same time ...haven't had that happen since Phil Hartman

[Moontrooper]

Everything will come full circle when Will and Harper start dating!!

[HeyImFdgt]

Just stopping by to help bury the transphobe comments further down, and also to say that this sounds like a lovely idea and I'm excited to see the doc!

[DragonIdol]

The YouTube comments are great here as long as you don't scroll down too far. Some people are just gonna have to die mad; imagine getting triggered by a trans person being visible and acting like you didn't choose to click on a video.

[allendionnelastcall]

This film and this comment section is whats wrong in society today.

[societopathyobserved]

Narcissism has really gotten out of hand.

[KKeeganRealty]

I look forward to seeing it. Sad that some folks are too closed off to give it a chance. ❤ And let's be kind and keep mean thoughts to yourself, no need to post them. ❤

These autogenerated comments all in favor and calling Will “such an excellent friend” are creepy, linear, cold and robotic. What’s going on here?
