Marcia Gay Harden is opening up about her family. During an appearance on the telethon, the 63-year-old actress revealed that all three of her children are queer.
Harden shares Hudson, 19, Julitta, 19, and Eulala, 24, with her ex-husband, Thaddaeus Scheel.«What drives me is because it's right and what's happening right now is wrong,» Harden said of the recent anti-LGBTQ legislation. «What drives me is my children are all queer.
My eldest child is non-binary. My son is gay. My youngest is fluid. And you know, they are my kids and they teach me every day.»Harden called the legislation, such as Tennessee's ban on public drag performances, which has been temporarily blocked by a judge, «so fear-based.»«It's spreading that kind of fear and hatred among other people,» she said. «I believe this country will fight that.»Harden also spoke out on Instagram after the event, writing, «The only thing dangerous about drag is how hot these Queens are!»«Join the @dragisntdangerous fundraiser in support of LGTBQ+, which basically means in support of all of us!
Our nation, our neighbors, our children, artists, our singers, our dancers, our better leaders, ceo's [sic], writers, spiritual leaders, basically our humanity,» she wrote. «Gay is here to stay.
