@pinknews: In a 2019 interview with PinkNews, fresh from playing gay icon Judy Garland, Renée Zellweger revealed the moment she knew she had to be a LGBT+ ally. Speaking exclusively to PinkNews as part of our First Times series, Zellweger also shares what it was like attending Pride in London and her first time going to a gay bar. “The first time I went to a gay bar? It’s happened a lot,” she tells PinkNews. “It would’ve been – and let me do the math and this is horrendous because I’m revealing way more than I want to – it would’ve been 1986. “I would’ve had to snuck out and stayed out all night, much to the chagrin of my mum who might be watching this now. “Sorry mum,” she jokes. She also opened up about the touching moment she knew she was an ally. “I was 17 and I had a friend who wanted to change his name and his father was quite cruel to him,” she explains. “I didn’t understand because he was so special and such a lovely person that anyone could find any reason not to be anything but proud of being related to him and wanting to celebrate him. “He just didn’t want to be who his father wanted him to be, you know. And that should be OK. I mean, at the very least that should be OK. “And then the rest of it was, you know, it seems like we have better things to worry about today than who people love.” #bridgetjones #reneezellweger #lgbt #ally #gaybar #gay #first
