“I pray that homophobia and transphobia that is being championed in the name of religion by the Right is exposed and silenced as wrong by the love of humanity that is the center of our gay and our trans community,” Curtis said. “These are very dangerous times, and I’m very happy to be in a room with people who are fighting the best fight we can fight.”
Ruby, Curtis’s transgender child, was given a shoutout during the speech. The actress mentioned the “courage” it takes to come out as a member of the LGBT community.
“Freedom is the goal for all LGBTQ+IA human beings,” Curtis said.

Last month, Curtis endorsed Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) for Senate. In her statement, Curtis claimed that “MAGA Republicans attack transgender children, LGBTQ equality,” and other things, but she said Schiff “will always stand up to the people abusing their power.”
The actress got her breakout role in the horror film Halloween over 40 years ago.
