Lesbian Icon - Lily Tomlin Interview

[WickedWitchElphaba]

Ladies and gentlemen- Ms. Frizzle. XD

But seriously, this is an amazing woman. <3

[HerGuardianAngel1991]

@WickedWitchElphaba Fucking IMDB. Exposing me to this! "Ruining my childhood!" ... I don't fucking care, I'm also a lesbian, and this is mindblowing. Especially hearing her talk about vibrators xD

[issyvoo2]

It always surprises me that she's not more of a lesbian icon than she is. She was out before Ellen, before kd, before Melissa, yet no one seems to honour her for that courage and integrity and the way she paved the way for the rest of us. Regardless, she's very funny and very talented.

[Sheldonwh]

Lily Tomlin is a national treasure. When foreigners think of Americans, I wish they'd think of people like Lily. There are so many great people here...none exactly like her, but many who are wonderful in similar ways. We're so blessed to have Lily and her amazing partner, Jane.

[dougfrombaltimore]

I MISS THE OLD LAUGH - IN TREASURES. .LILLY, GOLDIE, ARTE, RUTH ETC..

[shieldsguy]

THE WOMAN IS A NATIONAL TREASURE ! GREAT ACTRESS A TOTAL 1 OFF

[26095]

Ah, Lily, I worship you!! One of the funniest people ever!

[TheGEEman60]

from Laugh In to this day I love this woman

[themuseinwillits]

Wow I never knew my girl was just like well my sister...

Love you Lillian...

[BroadwayCutie21]

haha. i love her.

[condicionXdulce]

love this woman.

[PUGCAT]

She's great, and melt downs in Huckabees are classic.

[tippngthevelvet]

Lily was an excellent subject for one of denton's interviews. Facsinationg and intelligent - great she's still about.

[PersephoneGthrsFlwrs]

Tor my thirtieth birthday, I would like Lily Tomlin to pop out of a cake and do that cheer routine for me. Could that be arranged?

[MApeal]

I'll put a word in for you.

[PersephoneGthrsFlwrs]

Thank you, I appreciate that.

[MApeal]

What kinda cake would you like then?

[PersephoneGthrsFlwrs]

LOL, you're sweet :-) Chocolate truffle, please.

[MApeal]

Very well, Ma'am, Chocolate truffle kingsize - Lily will be most delighted to make your birthday even brighter! We'd need to check the date first, of course.. *s*

[PersephoneGthrsFlwrs]

It won't be for another five years, so we still have time, and I hope Miss Tomlin does not get booked that far in advance ;-)

[MApeal]

thats for sure..

how come though you think of your thirtieth, when you just count 25? .. I mean, I do, too, but not in public ;)

[PersephoneGthrsFlwrs]

I like to plan far ahead. Also, 30 seems like such a nice age to be... can't wait!

[MApeal]

same here - 30 sounds so inviting - I am really desperat to grow there - 40 might be even better ;) thirty.. becoming a lady stead of a "girl" something.. ah,

[PersephoneGthrsFlwrs]

Yep, I heard from many women that the older they get, the better they feel (with 40 being the best age according to a lot of them). I'm beginning to feel it myself, too -- I would definitely not want to go back to being 18 or 21.

[MApeal]

Never ever- I even tend to forget how this felt and that for a good reason!

Groing older is such a gift - I don't see why anyone would dye their heir to get rid of grey shades.. pah - women forgot how sexyness grows with age ;)

[PersephoneGthrsFlwrs]

oh yes... definitely. I'm glad to see that someone has the same approach to aging as I do ;-)

[MApeal]

So, let's send Lily a thank you note for bringing the two of us together!

[PersephoneGthrsFlwrs]

Yes, she deserves a "thank you." Should we throw in a cake as well (chocolate truffle)?

[MApeal]

you throw a cake at my sweet lily and I throw you to the tigers *s*

lets see whether she's on facebook and drop her a line - you could even throw your virtual cake there .. jummy

[PersephoneGthrsFlwrs]

No, no, I think you misunderstood--it's an English expression. What I meant was "throw in" a cake, meaning throw it in with the thank you card. I would never throw a cake at your sweet Lily, though judging from her character, she may like food fights ;-)

[MApeal]

you got it right - I missed the "in", better: took it for an "at" .. so we're having an appointment.

us three, a choko truffle and some chees.. no - cherrleaders.. sounds like a lotta fun

[PersephoneGthrsFlwrs]

hell yes! but you know what? let's skip the cheerleaders and go with the cheese -- i'm not a fan of big crowds, and a party of three with cheese, chocolate cake and perhaps some wine sounds like fun.

[MApeal]

- fun is not the right word really.. Dear, that sounds hilarious!!

extraordinary

elementary

excellent

I want it!

[PersephoneGthrsFlwrs]

let's do it!

[MApeal]

haha the envy of the unpropertied.. poor you, little wannabe cocksucker.

Sperm tastes bitter, you know - even more the bitterer the producer is.

jesus loves you, too!

[condicionXdulce]

@AllAmerican1964 you don't make heterosexuality anymore attractive. why don't you try sucking dick, all american faggot. doing this on the internet? what a fucking pussy. i pity any woman that would be with you--endlessly unfulfilled i'm sure.

[AllAmerican1964]

@condicionXdulce Well I have been married for ten years and there hasn't been any complaints yet!!!! Go and shove a chain saw up your ass you skank piece of shit!!!!

[condicionXdulce]

@AllAmerican1964 a hot woman is better than a cock any day, and i think you'll agree.

[Federalette]

Brilliant!

[johnnytheprick]

wot a gr8 personality. she cums across as humble, modest, understanding, shy.......y arent more women like her and single? instead, we get sophie monk, kylie minogue, madonna, britteny and lady ka-ka?

[124kls]

She's not single. She's been in a relationship for almost 39 years! Good for them!

[terracottaterry]

yes yes! indeedy doo. she's the bomb!

[bhickman3]

Love Lily! Thanks!

[swissmartini92]

FANTASITIC interview! love Lily sooo much, thank you for sharin! :D :D :D

[nekanrocker]

I never knew she was a lesbian. I don' t care, I just never knew....She's awesome at her art, her sexuality has nothing to do with it.

[lesbiandotpro]

don't really understand your comment - she is just as famous as she once was and has always been openly a lesbian.

[jameelahere]

I have always loved Lily Tomlin the first movie I saw as a kid on HBO was "The Incredible Shrinking Woman" Comedic women with universally average sex appeal rarely cause an uproar when it's found out they don't like men. Ellen Degeneres for example was boyish anyway, people did not care if she was a lesbian, they just did not want it on thier televisions at the time. Tomlin played against Travolta and he was "prettier".

[tinycrack77]

@lesbiandotpro Actually, she has sold her comic abilities. NOT her lesbian nature. I'm so sick and tired of gays and lesbians getting in my face on tv etc saying "I'M LESBIAN! I'M LESBIAN! We must sell this!" Who cares? What product do you have to sell? If your homosexuality is all you have to sell, it's not going for a very high price these days. In other words, "shut up and sing."

[DeafTuber]

@tinycrack77 They do this to help others who are struggling with their own sexuality. They don't have to sell anything and they are NOT selling their homosexuality. Do you know that 1/3 of teen suicides are because they are Gay and are scared of what the world and most importantly - their family and friends will do to them? Think about what you say, please.

[EvolutionaryLeap]

gotta love her!.....especially because she always seems to be on the verge of a major moodswing.

[lesbiandotpro]

I know! I hadn't thought of that before, but you are right! Aside from the 'huckabees' outtakes (which are quite endearing in the same manner you are speaking of) she resonates some energy...

[Blyledge]

@EvolutionaryLeap

Probably because she's always on the verge of a major moodswing.

[ChuChu353]

Thank you for this video :-) Lily has rocked my sox since I was 8 years old and watching her on Laugh-In!!!

[lesbiandotpro]

your welcome chuchu

[ranchoboyeros]

I adore her! She is so unique

[vinilla]

Lilly is a special person ....so easy to warm to and makes you feel safe ...I love her

[lesbiandotpro]

(x1) Have received a note from youtube via the ABC, indicating copyright claim for this video. We have only used 10% of this interview and it was grabbed from a free vidcast from 'enough rope' itself. We are permitted to keep this vision up here (at this stage) and ads are now added (presumably ad sales are now going to the public broadcaster) and stats are now required to be directed to Aunty.

[lesbiandotpro]

(x2) Unsure how we feel about 'lesbian' exploitative ads appearing with this video (our site has no ads for this reason). We also feel mixed feeling about ad sales with a station that is supposed to be void of commercial ads.

We apologise when viewing this video, if you get dating ads or similiar - we can't control this - and we may delete this video at some point to try and protect viewers.

[tippngthevelvet]

@lesbiandotpro

ABC ads are self-promoting of the principles of its role as a public broadcaster, and of other public broadcasters such as the BBC. It does not advertise for commercial enterprises.

As a dyke, l see it as a gay-friendly organisation, they were the first to broadcast the Sydney Mardi Gras way back, and have produced and aired many programs related to gay issues.

[agentadvocate]

I love Lilly too! I still was surprised to know she's a lesbian! My gaydar's down the tubes! XD Thanks so much for posting this! I used to do that with water in martini glasses!

[lesbiandotpro]

I accidentally just deleted someone's legitimate post - but it's gone forever, so I'm sorry about that - I 'was' removing some lesbian porn spam and I double clicked and caught your comment in the process (if you come back, you will know who you are) oops :)

[triniLes20]

OH MY GOSH!she's a lesbian?wow...i didn't knw!first time i saw her she was advertising for GRRRRR!!!!!!!!LOL....LOL

oh i love her

[DrMabuseDerSpieler]

"That's enough, touch-de-touch" LMAO! Thank you SO much for posting this! Lily Tomlin is an absolute gem. =)

[QueerSwede]

"they know nothing" hahaha love her.

[reggiethecokegirl]

I love Lilly!! I just did a parody of her classic operator!! Search reggiethecokegirl here on You Tube!
