In a recent interview, Morgan Freeman revealed that he went to a gay bar in Australia and had, in his words, “so much fun.”
In fact, it was his favorite memory of Australia.
“I thought there was a feeling of freedom,” he says. “I am surprised Australia doesn’t have marriage equality.”
He was particularly fond of dancing to Sister Sledge’s “We Are Family” while rubbing elbows with the locals.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The actor is currently filming The Story Of Us, a six-part documentary that examines different segments of society in search of the unifying bonds that inexorably tie us all together.
It’s a sequel to Emmy-nominated documentary The Story of God (which the iconic actor also narrated.)

Freeman is confident marriage equality will be the law of the land once people fully understand that being gay isn’t a choice:
“I think one of the catalysts people have experienced here in America is the realization that some of their relatives are gay.
What are you going to say if your 14 or 15-year-old son comes and says, “Dad, I’m gay.’
Some are excommunicated immediately but most aren’t. There is a new mindset and an understanding that it isn’t some choice you are making.”
The Story Of Us will air October 11 on National Geographic’s channel.

I have to meet that man before I die. I’ve loved him since Lean on Me

Not only isn’t it a choice, but it’s something that can’t be changed any more than you can change being left-handed or having blue eyes. The only rational choice you have is to finally accept yourself as you are.

A “new mindset”, huh? Nice that Freeman has caught up.

Morgan Freeman should avoid gay bars in Australia. They are full of rancid queens who still think it’s 1992 and that Kylie is hot.
In fact, gay bars are the worst possible places to learn about male homosexual desire. In their rush to be embraced by females, gay-identifying men have turned their bars into feminine salons hosted by men wearing dresses.

Meg… who let you back in the house?

Bitter, table for One!

You have it wrong Jaxton. Back in 1962 when I met my lifetime partner of 55 years, married 13 years, when I was in the Navy, gay bars were the only place you could meet someone that you wanted a relationship with, not just sex, but a loving relationship.

Looks like Brian has a new user name but the same tired old drivel he keeps regurgitating hasn’t changed.

Such a nice man and I agree with Morgan, I thought Australia was so gay friendly back in 1997 when I was in Sydney I thought they would have marriage equality before the U.S. did.

Ok, seriously, show of hands…who read the quote from Morgan Freeman in Morgan Freeman’s voice? Don’t worry, I did, too. I can’t help it. If I read a quote from the dictionary and was told that it was quote from Morgan Freeman, I would hear the definition for “equilicious” in Morgan Freeman’s voice. DAMN YOU MORGAN FREEMAN!
