Gay audiences know this laugh because they know Meryl Streep. They also know her compassion for LGBT issues, both as an extension of her queer-inclusive acting repertoire and more explicitly, when, during her Golden Globe acceptance speech in , she slammed then-president George W. Bush by condemning his anti-gay marriage stance.
Meryl Streep found out she was considered a gay icon in , two years into the “Streep Tease” performance of gay men performing her monologues.
Meryl Streep and Martin Short may have been keeping fans in the dark on their relationship, but Page Six has learned that the two have actually been dating for “well over a year now.”.
And while many queer fans have been obsessed with her accent versatility and deep acting ability, she has also been a staunch supporter of LGBTQ+ rights and has the Human Rights Campaign Ally for Equality Award to prove it.
