Another confession: I have never, never once, heard anyone refer to Justin Timberlake as an ally of the LGTBQ community.
Well, that changed this week when, during an interview promoting your new film PalmerJustin was asked why he feels it is important for him to be an ally of the gheighs.
“Thank you for saying that. I really enjoy being an ally and it is a real honor when someone addresses me that way,” Justin told GLAAD.

I wasn’t the only one scratching my head. Gay Twitter had a party day with its proclamation, especially considering that the “Holy Grail” singer is not the first person that comes to mind when you think of LGBTQ allies.
“Justin Timberlake is an ally because he is playing someone in a movie that befriends a boy who plays with dolls?” a user asked.
Justin Timberlake is an ally because he is playing someone in a movie that befriends a boy who plays with dolls? Wtf?
“I need receipts to show what [Justin] really did to be an ally of the LGBTQ community “, wrote another.
@snydenydn I need receipts to show what he really did to be an ally of the LGBTQ community.
The memes were right, because gays are funny, duh:
Others just wanted justice for Janet Jackson and Britney Spears:
it’s as funny to me as Justin Timberlake thinks he’s a lgbtq + ally … after what he did with gay icons Janet and Britney ?? no i don’t think so
So, to conclude Justin, the gays spoke and this is what they have to say:
Justin, maybe in your next interview you can share how you have been an ally of the LGBTQ community, and that would clean up the mess. OK Bye.
