7. ‘Do I Sound Gay?’ – Official Trailer
From the trailer’s description:
After a break-up with his boyfriend, journalist David Thorpe embarks on a hilarious and touching journey of self-discovery, confronting his anxiety about “sounding gay.” Enlisting acting coaches, linguists, friends, family, total strangers, and celebrities, he quickly learns that many people — both gay and straight — often wish for a different voice. In Thorpe’s feature-length documentary debut DO I SOUND GAY?, what starts as a personal journey becomes a chance to unpack layers of cultural baggage concerning sexuality, identity, and self-esteem
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar sat down with Fox News’ host Megyn Kelly last night for their first interview since the story broke last month of their eldest son Josh’s sexual abuse of five underage girls, four of whom were his sisters, back when he was a teenager.
And of course, the two noted anti-LGBT reality stars couldn’t help but add a dash of transphobia into the mix.
