Laverne Cox Talks Acting Career, LGBTQ+ Community + More With Jess Hilarious

[@divaforhire4589]

Laverne Cox so professional! The advice she shared with Jess and the world was so soothing but healing at the same time. Plus, I loved how she allowed Jess to share and provide her with the appropriate way to interact and react to different situations. Great interview where everyone was involved and listening at the same time.

That's why the Breakfast Club is number one syndicated radio show Morning Show because they are having in-depth conversations did I know that we need as a collective. Just so we can see perspectives that are not jaded ignorant unable to really give us the language and definitions of what's going on. Today it was done with Laverne Cox the day before Erykah Badu and I just each time I see certain interviews with certain guests I am very proud of what the breakfast show does for the culture as we say because it shows the diversity in the diasporas within Humanity but especially within heavily melanated skin tone people so Bravo continue continue continue

[@GregKennedyENT]

I Love Laverne. These are the kind of conversations the community needs, Black LGBTQIA+ people are BLACK PEOPLE, brillant ones at that, and when one among us are oppressed, we are all oppressed! Thanks for representing Laverne🖤

[@armymanssg508]

This man shows how far society has regressed; no community needs to listen to this nonsense; we need more common sense in society; this is a MAN; only God can create a man and a woman; Cox is a bootleg, a knock-off, a Frankenstein Monster, and an insane FOOL. God made him a man; he needs to accept that and be the man he was created to be; when he dies, his bones will reveal what he was, and when he stands before the Lord, he will be cast into hell for his foolishness as it is written Rev 21:8-10.

[@GregKennedyENT]

@armymanssg508 What we need in society is less bigoted, opinionated, idiots like you who are always minding everyone else's business, instead of focusing on your own. Not only is what you said BS, you dont have a heaven, or hell, to put anyone in. The hell you try and create for someone else is the one you will burn in!

[@ElikyaNgoma]

I am not a fan of Jess Hilarious and unfollowed her years ago, however I appreciate her standing her ground as Laverne tried to talk around what she was raising with being called “tr***y” (a word that’s also been used in my direction when people try to insult me) being what led to her using the f* word. I have never responded slur for slur, but you can’t take away what happened to Jess and try to impose that she should’ve had a super healed response. It’s bullshit. She raised a real issue and though no one can force Laverne to respond actually addressing the truth (instead of making many false equivalencies to avoid the truth), but I do like that Jess did not get fooled or intimidated by that.

There is a gift he will not receive, and that is, he will not have everlasting life but be cast into hellfire for being so foolish, and if you keep affirming this bootleg, knock-off, fake, insane Frankenstein Monster, Luciferian liar, the same will happen to you. 1 Cor 6:9-11, Rev 21:8-10...This is so for humanity.
