THE Umbrella Academy's Elliot Page has shown his support towards Netflix staff who took part in the Stand Up in Solidarity rally on Wednesday in Los Angeles.

TV personality Ashlee Marie Preston led the protest after comedian Dave Chappelle made transphobic comments in his latest special The Closer.

In the show, Dave said a handful of things that are offensive to the LGBT+ community, including that "gender is a fact". Ashlee, Netflix staff, and transgender activists stood outside Netflix's head office in California at around 10.30am for their voices to be heard.

They want more trans and non-binary talent to be seen on the streaming service and to make sure that something like this doesn't happen again.
