**Puerto Vallarta, Mexico & Los Angeles, CA –** Actress Jennifer Coolidge, known for her Emmy-winning role as Tanya McQuoid in HBO’s *The White Lotus*, has publicly expressed her deep gratitude for the LGBTQ+ community, calling them a “superior group of people” and declaring that her life would be “nothing” without them.

Coolidge, who recently attended the opening of the queer-friendly hotel The Tryst in Puerto Vallarta, shared her heartfelt sentiments with *Pride* magazine. She described a long-standing connection with the community, stating that she felt “lost” as a young person before finding belonging among LGBTQ+ individuals. She considers her relationships within the community as “very, very mutual.”

Her comments were further amplified by a viral TikTok video showing a lighthearted exchange with a lesbian fan, where Coolidge jokingly reciprocated the fan’s declaration of being a lesbian, leading to a fleeting “lesbian” trend on social media. However, the interaction was clearly playful.

Coolidge’s appreciation extended to her acceptance speech at the 2023 GLAAD Media Awards, where she stated that being “surrounded by gays” was “the story of my life,” expressing immense respect and love for the community. She emphasized her commitment to giving back to the community that has profoundly impacted her life. The actress currently stars in *The Super Mario Bros. Movie*.
