Rising gay icon and Golden Globe winner Lena Dunham waiting for gay marriage legalization


She's unlucky in love on her hit HBO show, "Girls," but Lena Dunham is pure joy offset. The 24-year-old star and creator of the critically lauded show referred to her boyfriend Jack Antonoff as her "family" Sunday night while accepting the award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series. The comment caused some to speculate that the pair had recently gotten engaged.

Not so: Dunham clarified those remarks backstage at the Golden Globes, saying: "I am not engaged. I don't want to get married until all gay people can get married." Dunham follows celebrities like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, who have said similar things in the past. source

I don't know whether that's true or not, but he founded the Ally Coalition, I'm sure if he was gay, he'd just come out.

I get what you are saying and that's why some straight men feel uneasy about being allies because they are automatically labeled as gay because of their stance </3

If they're really allies, they wouldn't feel uneasy tbh.

"he founded the Ally Coalition"

Not sure if you think I was who was defending him against LGBTQ people or you just don't like the idea of an "Ally Coalition." It's not for allies to support themselves but to come together and support the LGBTQ community. To be honest though, as much as I love Jack, I'm not even really a fan of the Ally Coalition because I don't think you're an ally until a member of the LGBTQ community considers you one. Otherwise you seem presumptuous and could be stepping over/ talking over those who should actually be speaking. I only used the Ally Coalition as an example because he did infact create it whether it's good or bad and by doing so, he is calling himself an Ally as opposed to a member of the LGBTQ community which was I was arguing.

I was making fun of his project, that was my intent.

Nobody needs "Ally Qualitions" because having these "ally spaces" is sickening, unnecessary and detrimental. They are all pretentious in their self-importance which is evidenced absolutely everywhere; ally stickers, ally flags, ally facebook pictures, G->S<-As and of course ~ally week~. It is the same circlejerk as Straight but not Narrow only not quite as popular and abhorrent. All of these "campaigns" are a bunch of white, young, upper-middle class people patting each other on the back for being decent on the internet. You don't become an ally because your friend says that you are one, but rather because you take action and you listen. And no you will never get cookies.

Allies exist solely to support the voices of the group (LGBT/women/racial minorities, etc.) and amplify their cause. They are to stand back.

I agree with everything you said, however I do stand by my statement of one not calling themselves an ally until the stated minority does. As a woman of color, I sure as hell don't want or need upper class white men calling themselves allies to me when they aren't, the same way I'm not going to call myself an ally to the LGBTQ community if I'm not considered one.

There are problems with that stance, though. "My friend is gay/black/latino and they are fine with the f-word/n-word/s-word" is such an incredibly common scenario. To me it is just much more than someone they know acknowledging them as an ally (which has recently lost all credibility and is now some gold-star club) and entirely to do with taking action and not walking around announcing your ally-ness.
