Alright, so this whole thing about Tessa Thompson, you know, the question that keeps popping up – “is she gay?” I see it floating around all the time, on forums, comment sections, you name it. It’s one of those celebrity things people get really curious about.
So, I figured, instead of just going by whispers and what random folks on the internet are saying, I’d actually do a bit of digging myself. My “practice,” if you will, is to try and find out what’s actually been said, not just run with the gossip mill. It’s easy to get caught up in that stuff.
I started by just, you know, looking through interviews, articles, that sort of thing. What has she actually said? And it turns out, she has spoken about it. Back in 2018, I think it was, she talked about being attracted to men and also to women. So, yeah, she’s openly said she’s bisexual. She was pretty clear about it, from what I read. She also mentioned she values her privacy, which, fair enough, right?
So, why do I even bother looking this stuff up?
Well, it’s kinda funny, this reminds me of something that happened a while back. It wasn’t about a celebrity, but it taught me a thing or two about jumping to conclusions or just believing what everyone else is saying. I used to work at this place, right? And there was this one manager, let’s call him Dave. Super quiet guy, kept to himself mostly. And rumors started flying around that he was super strict, that he was looking for reasons to fire people, that he hated social events – all sorts of negative stuff.
And honestly? I bought into it. For months! I’d be extra cautious around him, wouldn’t really chat, just nodded and kept my distance. The whole team was kinda like that. We created this whole narrative about “Scary Dave.”
Then one day, we had this mandatory team-building thing, out of office. And guess what? Dave was actually pretty chill. He was quiet, yeah, but he had a dry sense of humor, talked about his hobbies, asked us about ours. Turned out he was just an introvert, and maybe a bit shy. The whole “strict and mean” thing was completely blown out of proportion, mostly by people who barely interacted with him. We’d all just fed off each other’s assumptions.
I felt like a bit of an idiot afterwards, to be honest. It made me realize how easy it is to just accept a story without actually seeing for yourself or, in cases like Tessa Thompson’s, looking for what the person themselves has put out there. It’s like, why rely on the game of telephone when sometimes the info is right there if you just look for it?
So, yeah, that’s my little “practice.” When I hear these strong rumors or persistent questions, especially about people’s personal lives, I try to see if there’s anything more solid to go on, directly from the source if possible. It doesn’t always give you all the answers, ’cause people are entitled to their privacy, but it often clears up the loudest noise.
With Tessa Thompson, she’s been open about her attraction to men and women. That’s what she shared. And at the end of the day, that’s her business, and it’s good to just respect what people choose to share about themselves. Simple as that, really.
