    Kirson in her statement to THR said she “donated the entirety of what I was paid to perform there to a human rights organization.”

    She did not say how much the comedy festivals paid her, or the group to which she donated her fee.

    So she cannot or will not actually confirm any of this actually happened… Right.

    Jessica Kirson right now:

        Right, and we’re just taking the word of someone who betrayed their own sexual identity for some money on this being true when she offered no evidence to support the assertion.

          You say betrayed. I say she went out there in a place she would be put to death for just being who she is and did her job. She got paid for it and she gave it all away. You’re just angry because you believe in this bullshit cancel culture where we don’t associate with people who believe differently than us. You want to cut them off and exile them. I think it’s better to show them we’re all the same and there’s nothing wrong with being gay. If she made a single person laugh then she’s doing good work.
