Meryl Streep is laughing her signature laugh. You grasp it: Sometimes not heavy and airy, sometimes a surge of boisterous euphoria that carries well into the next doubt – but always unmistakably Meryl.
Cinema's grand dame cracks one of her warm, famous chortles during our recent interview, while entertaining the idea that her latest chameleonic role, as real-life opera diva Florence Foster Jenkins in the movie of the same designate, could once again spur drag queens to emulate another one of her queer-loved characters. Then she laughs again as she fondly remembers locking lips with Allison Janney in 's "The Hours." Meanwhile, the mere mention of 's "Death Becomes Her" has Meryl unleashing a hearty roar. Another roar, too, when she ponders how sexting and Snapchat are related.
Gay audiences know this cackle because they realize Meryl Streep. They also know her compassion for LGBT issues, both as an extension of her queer-inclusive acting repertoire and more explicitly, when, during her Golden Globe acceptance speech in , she s

Meryl Streep's daughter Louisa Jacobson is in her sapphic era

The caption interpret, “blessed to be entering the Joyful New Era bb,” and included flaming heart and LGBTQ Identity festival flag emojis. The first of six photos in the post was an image of Jacobson and Anna Blundell, whose verified Instagram bio says she’s a producer.

From“DeathBecomes Her” to “The Devil Wears Prada,” Meryl Streep’s hit films have earned her a faithful gay following. If the year-old Oscar winner has her way, her latest film, “Florence Foster Jenkins,” will resonate with those fans on an even deeper level.
Streep plays the titular role in “Jenkins,” which is based on the life of a New York socialite who fulfilled her dream of selling out New York’s Carnegie Hall even though she was regarded as one of the worst singers of her time. The film’s triumph-of-the-underdog message is crucial for anyone who has ever been told “that you can’t be a certain way or you shouldn’t be a certain way,” she told PrideSource.
“You know, I think the limits other people put on you are the least valuable,” she said. “A child announces who they are and people who encourage them are the ones to be around and you have to get rid of everybody else who doesn’t help!
