“I think heteros*xual people are more self-conscious. I think gay men and gay women just let it loose and have a blast. They know how to have a really good, really fun time, and they’re really original. They’re a superior group of people,” Coolidge responded.

Exploring Jennifer Coolidge’s other remarks about the LGBTQ+ community

During another conversation with the LGBTQ+ publication PRIDE at the Tryst Puerto Vallarta: Opening Night Party, Jennifer Coolidge shared:

“I found my group! Most of my buddies are gay men and gay women, too. [The love] is very, very mutual! I feel like I joined the LGBTQ+ community when I was young. We didn’t all know that we were all attracted to each other for the same thing.”

She continued, “I was kind of lost as a young kid. We just all felt like we were the same tribe. I could go on forever about how much it’s improved my life. If it hadn’t happened and if I hadn’t met everyone in the gay community that I know, I think my life would be nothing — and I mean nothing without it.”

Last year, Jennifer Coolidge won the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series at the Primetime Emmy Awards for her role as Tanya McQuoid in the HBO black comedy drama series, The White Lotus.

During her acceptance speech, the Boston native gave a shoutout to the queer community and thanked “all the evil gays,” for the show’s success, among other people.

It was a nod to her famous line from the show’s second season, “These gays – they are trying to murder me,” and prompted laughter from the audience. The dialogue was said when Jennifer’s Tanya realized that a group of gay men she was on a boat with, and knew her husband, were trying to kill her.

Before that, in 2023, Jennifer Coolidge accepted a similar honor at the 34th annual GLAAD Media Awards, where she said that the “story of my life” was being “surrounded by gays.”

Jennifer Coolidge further shared her belief that every individual has the “right” to be who they are and to “love” whom they want, while being able to share their stories and celebrate themselves in every way possible. She added, GLAAD Media Awards acknowledged the same.

Notably, GLAAD stands for Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and was formed in 1990 to recognize the talents of the queer community in the entertainment industry.
