Becca Tilly & Hayley Kiyoko - Bachelor 19-20 - Discussion

@blueblues Thanks for the endorsement of her podcast! I'll have to listen to it over the weekend. It's pretty amazing the level of respect for Becca to protect her relationship. We should all be so lucky.

@blueblues thanks for posting.

I'm glad they are finally out in the open about their relationship. imo it shouldn't be that hard, and I would think somewhat stressful to keep this information quiet for 4 years.

Becca looks incredibly happy, I'm glad she has found the one for her.

@GuardianAngel It shouldn’t be that hard, but it is. If anything, it’s getting worse at the moment.
If it’s true that many of the “scrubbers” (podcast fans)  are from a similar background as Becca, she might end up being a really good and strong influence, just like Hayley.

This one is just for the way Hayley looks at Becca . Sorry, I’m getting annoying now.

Re the bold: I know, and that's why imo everyone should stand up for themselves and never be afraid to be themselves and show off who they love. There are so many who this couple and other's could help by being open. I don't want to rant by I have two very close relatives and a very long time friend who all have gay sons. I've seen them go through hell growing up. All three have great careers, are involved in their communities, support various charities and are kind loving people. I don't care who you are, if you have those qualities you're a good person. jmo's

You're never annoying. Love is love, and I love to see it! Thank you for posting!

And here is a live that Hayley and Becca did for Amazon. Hayley is somewhere in Europe, so there is a  delay that they do their best to handle. Very sweet interaction.

In the ET clip you can see Becca's face light up when Hayley's name is mentioned.

I didn't watch all of the Amazon vid but it certainly shows regardless of what type of love you are lucky enough to be experiencing, it creates the biggest smiles.

They are both busy with all sorts of different jobs especially Hayley and all the travelling but imo when there is genuine love, somehow it all works out.

@GuardianAngel My aunt used to say every mother should be so lucky to have a gay son! Very attentive to her.

@Norcalgal that's cute.

Though many queer women have known about (or strongly suspected) this relationship for years, the news might come as more of a shock to the wider public, who know Becca Tilley best for her time on the prominent heterosexual propaganda machine The Bachelor https://t.co/LvKD8iKo6X

What a good article, and the podcast with Kaitlyn was nice too.
Something that came up on both was how Rebel Wilson recently was forced to come out by a scumbag Aussie journalist. It makes me realize that I’m pleasantly surprised that nothing like that happened to Becca, even though dozens of entertainment journalists must have known about her and Hayley. The only one who said something was Perez Hilton, but fortunately no one listens to him anymore.
Are American journalists better than their reputation?

That was an enjoyable read.

It saddens me to read all the what I think is overthinking about who is going to support her or who will be nasty. IMO it shouldn't matter.

I also like she's going to scrutinize what partnerships to get involved in providing they support the LGBTQ+ community.
