2017 Summer TCA Tour - Showtime

Is it okay for celebrities to get political? Or should they just shut up and look pretty? 

"The Hollywood Reporter" polled over 2,000 Americans and asked about different hot-button issues. Here are the top political topics we're COOL with celebrities taking a stance on . . . and the ones we DON'T want them to talk about . . .

Encouraging people to go out and VOTE is the #1 cause we're okay with. 77% of people said it's appropriate for celebrities to talk about it.

The rest of the top five are: Supporting equal pay, 72% . . . police brutality, 63% . . . more diversity in Hollywood, 62% . . . and fighting climate change, also 62%.

The stance we're LEAST okay with is that VACCINES are dangerous. Only 25% of people said it's appropriate for celebrities to voice their anti-vaxxer opinions.

Also, just 36% say it's cool for stars to talk about stricter abortion laws. Only 37% are okay with them publicly supporting a border wall. And only 43%want to hear their opinions on an athlete's right to kneel during the National Anthem.
