American TV presenter "broke" guests with a question about LGBT
And he just wanted to clarify.
Piers Morgan is British and lives and works in the USA. Once he invited a couple of ladies and began to torment them with questions about same-sex love and LGBT:
Piers Morgan
- If, in your opinion, anyone can consider himself a woman, anyone can, right?
- I don't see this as a problem.
- Well, that is, literally, raise your hand and say "I'm a woman"
- Well, it's not so easy to do, go out and say it
- No, it's easy.
- Well, it's easy to say, but to make such a decision. The person decides to come out and say: I don’t think that I have such a gender.
- So why can't I consider myself, okay, so why can't I consider myself a black lesbian? No, I'm serious. If I can consider myself anyone, and I don’t need to prove it in any way, then why can’t I say on International Women’s Day: “I am Piers Morgan and I am a black lesbian”
- I think you're taking it to the point of absurdity.
- No no. With all due respect, I believe that you have already thrown open the gates for the absurd, saying that there are no more barriers and you can do whatever you want, and that anyone can say: I am a woman. So I’m just asking you: “why can’t I do this?”
- I mean, it's kind of ridiculous, trans people need acceptance...
- And I say that your words in relation to trans people are ridiculous.
He received no clear answer.
