THEY SAID WHAT? THE STARS’ BEST QUOTES
“I said, ‘ You know, Bird, I’ve been doing a bad job with the pronouns,’ because Birdie said that they would like their pronouns to be they/ them. And I haven’t been doing it, I said, because I have this public persona and I want Birdie to be in control of their own narrative and not have to answer to anybody outside of our friends and family if they don’t want to. And then Bird was like ... ‘ You can talk about that I’m gay and out. You can talk about my pronouns. That would be cool with me. That’s great.’ ” - Busy Philipps, opening up on her “Busy Philipps Is Doing Her Best” podcast about a conversation with her 12- year- old child Birdie about their gender identity and sexuality.
