Funny Quote of the Day: Rashida Jones Encourages John Travolta to Come Out!

Rashida Jones has joked that it’s time for John Travolta to come out following his recent gay allegations. Rashida spoke on her love for Frank Ocean, who came out last year, and she says it time for more big names to open up about their sexuality too – she says she would love a famous sports star or actor to be the next one and encourages Travolta to go for it:

“There needs to be, like, a professional athlete that comes out. And a movie star! It’s time…Like John Travolta? Come out! Come on. How many masseurs have to come forward? Let’s do this.”

She praises the likes of Anderson Cooper and others who have very successfully come out as gay without negative impact on their careers and she believes that the more famous the person is, the more positive it is for them to come out in public because it sets a good example for those who struggle to do so. She also doesn’t think those in the spotlight should wait until they’re dead for the news to surface:

“But big stars need to come out. Ricky Martin was huge. That was big; I was really happy about that. People are so precious about their careers.”
