What an interesting second day in America!

Australian reality TV star Timm Hanly was recently approached by street interviewer Chris Stanley as he went through the West Hollywood (WeHo) Pride festival this month. Hanly appeared on The Bachelorette Australia in 2019 and Bachelor in Paradise in 2020.

His chill responses to questions helped his interview make the cut to publication, and propelled it to viral status in the LGBTQ+ community.

Hanly, who clarified early on in the interview that he was "not gay, straight," was in L.A. on vacation and stumbled across the WeHo pride festival, staying "for the vibes." Off to a good start!

When asked how he felt when gay men found him attractive, Hanly perked up and grabbed the mic to answer the question.

Oh, I love this. Let’s say I’m walking down the street and a gay guy is like looking at me. That’s as good as a girl looking at me. That counts. That’s as good for my ego as a hot chick looking at me. Not that I’m here for that. That’s just how you’ve gotta take it, you know?”

Equal opportunity compliments for Timm, then.


People were really here for the energy Hanly was putting off.

Really, though, he might just be...Australian about the whole thing.

Here's hoping that the rest of their time in the U.S. was as exciting for Hanly and his family as their second day.

Sarah Jessica Parker Claps Back At Conservative Critics Who Want Her To 'Shut Up' About Politics And 'Act'

Nothing seems to get conservatives' goats quite like celebrities having political opinions—well, liberal and leftist celebrities, anyway.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Ann Coulter Faces Fierce Backlash After Saying 'We Didn't Kill Enough Indians' In Deleted Post

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
