“What I love most about this community is the way you own the alphabet,” the Oscar winner and longtime advocate joked.
She continued: “For real, what I love about this community is the independence. The freedom that comes with being yourself. All of yourself. I love the energy, the activism, the generosity, the delicate, the shade, the fun. I love the dignity that accompanies self acceptance.”
