avarice 4,219 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 http://www.papermag.com/sam-smith-howard-ashman-oscars-1632863594.html Oscar-winner Sam Smith is currently under fire about some fairly audacious comments he made after winning Best Original Song last night. [...] Sam said in his speech that no openly gay man has ever won the golden statue before him. In his speech, Smith dedicated the win to the LGBT community-- which is a topic he rarely touches on. After being informed in the press room of the preceding gay men who did win Oscars (including Dustin Lance Black and Elton John), a member of the press mentioned fellow Oscar-winner and openly gay composer Howard Ashman, who won in the same category as Smith in 1989 for The Little Mermaid's "Under the Sea," as well as in 1991, for "Beauty and the Beast." Hearing this, Smith arrogantly stated, "I should know him. We should date." Howard Ashman tragically died of AIDS in 1991, at the age of 40. welp. here's to the people chewing out dlb for calling him out. you'd think that since he thought of an acceptance speech he could be bothered to google 'gay oscar winners'. classy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crocodile 342 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I sort of don't like it when people say they're doing something for the LGBTQ community because it sort of makes them as if they're separated or different because if someone said they're were doing something to support straight people they would get loads of backlash... But LGBTQ gets special treatment which makes them seem even more like outcasts in a way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

night vale. 8,071 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 When he made the comment about being the only one, I could feel everyone on the Internet roll their eyes. At least do some research before making grand statements like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhjxjcjjxj 2,768 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 What it's funny is that he think he represents the lgbt but i'm pretty sure that there were more lgbt people rooting for gaga lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But LGBTQ gets special treatment which makes them seem even more like outcasts in a way... Its not really to make themselves outcasts/different, society does that already. Even if times have changed compared to before, they are still discriminated/bullied/harassed because of it. I assume its more about reminding people, that sexual orientation is not a barrier, and anyone can achieve and be successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YourName 274 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 What about LEO though!? His climate change talk and speech when he uses super yachts and private jets excessively, but expects us ordinary folk to be careful of our air miles! Hypocrisy at its highest!
