The Amazing son in law Chapter 7174
After that, Tawana turned her gaze towards Claire and posed a serious question: “Ms. Willson, are you willing to wholeheartedly support the LGBT community like I do?”
Claire hesitated for a moment, feeling a bit embarrassed. She had never really focused on such issues from abroad and had never considered her stance on the movement. Tawana’s direct query about her support for LGBT caught her off guard, leaving her uncertain about how to respond.
If she admitted to not supporting it, it would contradict Tawana’s values. There’s an old Chinese saying about not offending a smiling person, and Tawana’s politeness made it clear that Claire couldn’t outright dismiss her.
After a brief moment of contemplation, she reluctantly replied, “I will try my best…”
Saying this left Claire feeling uneasy. While such insincere declarations were common for many, for her, it felt like a thorn in her throat, causing discomfort.
Tawana was elated by Claire’s response and immediately expressed her gratitude: “On behalf of millions of LGBT individuals worldwide, I thank you for your support!”
Then, turning her attention to Loreen with anticipation, she asked, “Ms. Loreen, what about you?”
Loreen, feeling less pressure than Claire, answered without hesitation: “Absolutely, let’s work together!”
Tawana’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “Fantastic! With such a strong stance, does that mean you are also a member of the LGBT community?”
Loreen quickly raised her hands in a dismissive gesture, saying, “I’m not; my sexual orientation is perfectly normal, just like yours—I like men.”
Tawana appeared slightly taken aback, then glanced at her boyfriend Trevor before looking back at Loreen, smiling as she said, “Ms. Loreen, I’d like to correct you. In reality, all sexual orientations are normal. Each is a part of human nature and deserves equal respect.”
“Yes, yes, that’s what I meant, but I didn’t express it very well,” Loreen replied, feeling a bit frustrated. Inside, she thought, “You really have a knack for twisting people’s words. Thankfully, my sister Loreen isn’t in the U.S. or the media would have a field day, putting all sorts of labels on me. I could end up drowning in a torrent of mud that I couldn’t wash off, even if I jumped into the Amazon River.”
Tawana felt pleased with her previous performance. Knowing her boyfriend had recorded a video, she anticipated that once it was shared, it would showcase her genuine support for the LGBT community, free from selfish motives.
Having achieved two successes in a row, Tawana turned her attention to Charlie Wade, believing it was the perfect moment to seize the opportunity. She asked, “Mr. Wade, what is your stance on LGBT issues? Do you support or oppose it?”
“Me?” Charlie Wade furrowed his brow, feeling somewhat puzzled.
He sensed that Tawana’s approach was a bit unusual. Typically, when friends introduce each other, it’s not polite to pressure someone into stating their opinions on sensitive matters. Tawana, being a top star in the entertainment industry, surely understood this etiquette. Her persistent questioning made him suspect she had ulterior motives.
As he observed from the corner of his eye, Tawana’s boyfriend seemed to be distracted with his phone, yet the camera was still aimed at him and Tawana. In that moment, Charlie Wade grasped her intentions.
Calmly, he replied, “LGBT issues are as complex as immigration in the United States. How can we casually express support or opposition?”
Tawana’s eyes lit up at Charlie Wade’s reluctance to align with her views.
If he had simply agreed with her, there would be nothing compelling about the video, and it wouldn’t capture any real passion. She saw Charlie Wade as a challenge; resolving his tough stance would prove her enthusiasm and capability.
Tawana asserted, “Why can’t we simply express our views as support or opposition? Support is support, and opposition is opposition. Just share your true thoughts; what’s so difficult about that?”
Charlie Wade smiled and responded, “Let me ask you this: immigrants in the U.S. come from hundreds of different countries, including both legal and illegal immigrants. Let’s set aside legal immigrants for now. Among illegal immigrants, some stay unlawfully while others enter the country illegally. Within this group, you have those who work hard and contribute positively to the U.S., and others who engage in criminal activities or live off welfare. There are millions of illegal immigrants with a wide range of backgrounds, much like the diverse personalities among people. How can such a multifaceted issue be boiled down to simple support or opposition? If you believe it can, then let me ask you first: do you support those illegal immigrants residing in the U.S.?”
