It impresses me greatly to learn that yesterday, Michael Fassbender attended the
Human Rights Campaign (HRC) gala in Los Angeles to present to his Prometheus co-star,
Charlize Theron, the
Ally for Equality Award for her long-standing advocacy work for the LGBT community. A lot of celebrities find a cause that is near and dear to them, and many are supporting social causes. I have been very familiar with Charlize's support for LGBT rights and equality, and for Michael to present her an award there, makes me wonder if this is his first foray into adopting this organization as his pet cause too. I reckon his friendship with Charlize may expose him to the fight this organization represents, and his affiliation with HRC will be a good thing. Sadly, it appears it's still OK to actively and openly oppress LGBT people, and if the attitudes and beliefs of those currently vying to become President of the USA is indication of how hateful people still are against LGBT and women (a whole different issue), the HRC has a tough road ahead of them. Hey, I may join in now, dammit!
