Pedro Pascal epically shut down reporter questioning why queer stories matter (spoiler)

LGBTQ+ ally and hot dad of the moment Pedro Pascal has no time for The Last of Us fans who question whether queer storylines belong on the show.

Pascal, who co-stars alongside Bella Ramsey as grizzled father-figure Joel, made it known that he has no time for anyone who questions whether these stories belong on The Last of Us. TMZ recently spotted the actor in West Hollywood and attempted to grill him about the show’s LGBTQ+ storylines.

(spoiler left out of this clip) “Can I ask: what do you say to the people who don’t want to see the LGBT character love stories?” the cameraperson asks in video posted to the gossip site on Sunday.

“They do!” Pascal replies as he walks away.

Despite his attempt not to engage with the online anti-LGBTQ+ chatter, the cameraperson persists when Pascal returns later, asking him why it’s so important for LGBTQ+ characters to be featured on TV shows.

“I think you’re asking the question because you know why it’s so important,” Pascal replies.

She has a definite crush on Pedro.

Fact, she favors Latino men, her ex-husband and father of her son is Latino (though she hates the Ex, and has sworn off Latino men for various reasons ... cough ... machismo and religion ... cough).

I hesitate to tell her about this story, cause I don't want to totally lose her to the magnetic power of The Pedro

We both thought that episode was amazing, btw.

And since I know how the game it's based on goes ...

Ellie is not necessarily straight herself, at least not in the game.

We caught him on BBC on Graham Norton and I totally see what all the fuss is about.
