We are watching this #MaskedSinger and as always we are behind, but frankly it is bonkers.

He even thanked and commended veteran TV host Phillip Schofield, who came out as gay, for inspiring courage in others.
Bravo @Schofe for not only being honest, but for giving courage to many many people who may well think it’s too late to tell their own truth. 🏳️🌈
