As in every performance there is something called 'context'.You have to deal with the audience in front of you. I was in Malaysia where it's illegal to be gay and I was told not to talk about my sexuality. I did anyway despite the censorship laws.

I think you really great at what you do! I'm going back to all the videos you have. Do you have a recorded show or something like that?

[@alicec1533]

That's very powerful, thank you for doing that, and standing up despite censorship.

[@xnazzylove]

"Conditions apply" 😂

As a vegetarian lesbian myself, I can honestly say that I receive more flack about my vegetarianism than my lesbianism, particularly from my mum 👀 Love your comedy Jen, I think you’re great!

Lady... you feckin make me howl.... Seriously funny !! :)

In Spain same-sex marriage has been legal since 2005 and in the UK since 2014, so I don´t think Spain is that of a backward country

The joke is about CATHOLICISM. Not Spanish people.

[@peachesplums]

One reason it got approved was because the public took advantage of the Pope's death and how it distracted the church

[@cindyj5522]

Such a shame that the audio on so many of these short gigs is so terrible.

[@emmawrighttome]

"Let's face it no one wants to be gay?" Very different attitude to what I have experienced. It sounded as if you were putting yourself down, for a reason that didn't require it - being gay isn't something we have to put up with. It's amazing!

[@ladidardy]

Well 'm a gay vegetarian so thats awks :P

[@tempkinvient]

Cackling because I am definitely from a family that would be way more bothered by my being vegetarian than vagatarian

[@topgurl9313]

she's right though. The Spaniards don't like anyone, they be giving you those looks lmao

[@keiran4572]

i think she was referring to catholics

[@wdwerker]

Vegetarians are fine as long as they keep it to themselves. That’s where don’t ask don’t tell should apply.
