But as soon as the person trying to shut the interview down started talking the publicist stepped in and he was simply standing around and watching the conversation that took place.
I'm not saying he wasn't supportive or anything but this entire thread being framed to praise one person who didn't actually do anything other than stand around whilst two other people debated and then said he was staying just seems to be putting extra focus on it then it actually deserves.
Again I'm not saying he wasn't supportive but this being used as an example of some amazing ally moment seems pretty overblown, at least in terms of Majors when it's the publicist that was actually arguing for the interview to continue.

People here being embarrassing as usual
1) the guy was probably some low level guy just doing his job. Could he have handled it better? Yes for sure. Was he being grossly impolite? No.
2) very classy with the name calling like 'dick nose' . If some of you bothered to observe, he pulled up his mask to cover his nose before talking to Majors. It slid down as he was talking. It's an Ill fitted mask - but again, the usual overreaction and pitchfork waving is out in full force
Big Props to Majors and his publicist for stepping in, but the vitriol being thrown at the admin guy is just embarassing

Don't know if putting a random festival worker on blast openly like this for likely doing what he is being told by his superior is, uh, a great idea?
Why not just thank the actor/publicist, or at least protect the privacy of the festival representative in any way by blurring his face for example? You absolutely know the dude is going to be harassed to no end for this and that reddit is about 2 minutes away from identifying him and his home address. Maybe you can even see his name in his laynard?
That's fucked up.

Yeah, this seems like a slow news day kinda story.
Dope avatar.
I was literally laying in bed last night thinking about who I could ask to make this exact .gif LMAO, you are fucking awesome.
This exactly. I have no idea why is this even a thread.
I think he might have been taking the name from his lanyard / checking who he works for. Suspect this going public won't be the only source of complaint!
Definitely. I doubt there was anyone who made this decision that was within several hundred feet of the interaction. And was posted earlier, apparently a lot of issues leading to delays
Ehh, the OP didn't say it was specifically because he was black/queer, he said stood up FOR a Black Queer person. In the article:
Generally black journo's get treated like shit on these because the idea is that a black journo is not from a 'real' media source. It's been a long standing issue. It's why they felt touched, even if it was him like 'This guy wants to talk so you guys figure it out'. Most stars would just walk by like the journo didn't exist.

It's to the point when shit like this happens, some black outlets point it out because it's a rarity. That's how fucking bad it is out there:

Cynthia Erivo Commended For Insisting To Stop For Black Journalist On Oscars Red Carpet - Shadow and Act
Harriet star Cynthia Erivo showed solidarity with Black journalists on the Oscars red carpet when she stopped to speak to veteran journalist Lola Ogunnaike. Ogunnaike posted the video of Erivo coming to speak with her on Instagram with the caption, “@cynthiaerivo looking like an absolute vision...
Era is a funny place because no matter how progressive it is, dudes still think it's rainbows for minorities moving through the white world like an ABC sitcom instead of a maddeningly continuous line of fucked microagressions. I don't blame the dude, but they intentionally place 'less important' journos at the end of the line because they aren't seen as important and that journo has probably been passed for 'time' more than once. So yea, it should be a nothing burger but, alas we live in America where even a red carpet enforces the racial hierarchy it loves. Its a problem.

Nah if I see someone wearing their mask like this I just assume they are an idiot. Shifting it down briefly is one thing but you might as well take it off if you keep it like this for any length of time because it ain't doing shit for you or anybody else.
Majors is such a cool dude, him not moving along IS standing up for this person (unsure* why that's hard to see).
Partially off-topic but Id love to see Majors play Bond, he could absolutely play 007 in so many ways and any one would be stellar.
*ok not THAT unsure why…

Employees like that are generally not paid enough to care, are just trying to keep the event moving, and aren't exactly the brightest bulbs in the room, but he still should have just let the interview go...like...as the interviewer suggested, it probably would have taken less time to just ask and answer the question than to cause a stink like that.

People talking about he needed them to move like a volcano was about to erupt in the exact location in which they were standing.
There was literally no need to bother the three square feet they occupied, until they finished a quick Q&A.
The worker isn't absolved by having higher ups, because those same faceless people never would've known that he respectfully gave them 30 seconds to finish up.
People saying he was just checking the lanyard don't recognize the energy.
