“So we have to push back those lies about us, about people who are different and push forward empowering stories about people who dare to be themselves, stories about characters who risk being individual in the face of society,” Michael said on stage.
“In living rooms across this country, people who don’t know a queer person or think they don’t, are watching TV, and occasionally watching an LGBTQ+ character, and sometimes something that happens on a television, a certain story, a wonderful character, a joke, a heart revealed can knock down the scaffold society has forced us to build up around ourselves and reveal the soul underneath,” he continued. “And when this happens, people in their homes, sitting on their couches, can see us and come to know us. And little by little, we are no longer ‘them.’”
Niecy Nash served as the honorary dinner chair, and attended with her wife Jessica Betts.
Other stars in attendance include Malin Akerman and husband Jack Donnelly, Erika Jayne, Marcia Gay Harden, filmmaker Paul Feig, The Resident‘s Matt Czuchry and Alimi Ballard, Melissa Peterman, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and more.
