Legendary actor Marcia Gay Harden is quite literally a mother to the LGBTQ community. During the "Drag Isn't Dangerous" telethon over the weekend, the "Fifty Shades" actor shared a few comments about her kids.
As reported by People, Harden was helping to raise money to fight against recent anti-LGBTQ legislation. Then the she revealed that actually "all my children are queer."
"What drives me is because it's right and what's happening right now is wrong," Harden told co-host Adam Shankman about her reasons for supporting the cause. "What drives me is – my children are all queer." Her eldest is non-binary, her son is gay and her youngest child is fluid.
"And you know, they are my kids and they teach me every day," she said. Harden shares her three children Eulala, 24, Julitta, 19, and Hudson, 19, with ex-husband, director Thaddaeus Scheel.
"This is so fear-based and it's spreading that kind of fear and hatred among other people," said Harden, an Academy Award-winning actor. "I believe this country will fight that."
Harden was one of many celebs to participate in the four-hour telethon, including Idina Menzel, Leslie Jones, Melissa McCarthy, Charlize Theron, Jesse Eisenberg and Sarah Hyland.
