Zendaya, the Emmy-winning star of the hit HBO series Euphoria, just gained some serious respect from fans far and wide with her deft answer to an interview question that was packed with some implicit biases.

Without skipping a beat, Zendaya untangled the question to make her own answer an inclusive, supportive statement of LGBTQ people and their sexuality.


As Pink News reported, Zendaya's heads-up response came when she participated in Vanity Fair's "Proust Questionnaire," a video series in which the magazine asked several Hollywood stars 35 deep-diving questions about their lives and relationships.

Zendaya, charming as ever, plowed through the first 11 questions until she hit number 12, when the interviewer asked which quality she "likes most in a man?"

That one gave Zendaya pause:

"I most like in a person, how about that?"

She then moved on to her answer.

"What is the quality I most like in someone?"
"Some people are just good people, and you can feel it," she added. "I don't know how to explain that, but there's this little spark that they have or this little special thing that they have that just feel safe and happy around them."

See the exchange below.

In an apparent attempt to recover, the interviewer then asked Zendaya specifically what qualities she liked in a woman.

Zendaya simply said her answer wouldn't change.

People on Twitter rejoiced upon seeing the 24-year-old's graceful act of inclusion.





Others enjoyed celebrating the moment as Zendaya's indication of her own sexuality.

There is no confirmation of that, but Twitter can dream.



It may have just been one brief exchange in one interview of many, but enough moments of quick thinking advocacy like Zendaya's might make questions like that come out with different wording the first time around.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
