Filmmaker Paul Feig has committed $300,000 to organizations like The Trevor Project, Trans Lifeline, and It Gets Better to aid LGBTQ+ youth. This announcement comes in response to increasing anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments and significant policy changes under the current administration that appear to undermine protections for transgender individuals. Feig emphasizes the need for collective action to support vulnerable communities, denouncing the erosion of rights and echoing the significance of the initiatives run by these nonprofits in providing essential resources and advocacy for LGBTQ+ youths.
In a year where anti-trans sentiment and federal marginalization is at an all-time high, I can't sit idly by and watch as my friends, colleagues and the LGBTQ+ community are stripped of their rights.
We should all do whatever is within our power and our means to ensure that every member of the LGBTQ+ community gets the support and protections to which they are entitled.
