Melanie Willingham-Jaggers and Annette Bening join GLSEN for a special evening of music, entertainment and storytelling in support of the organization’s work advocating for over 2 million LGBTQ+ youth nationwide at NeueHouse Hollywood on October 28, 2023 in Hollywood, California.
2023年10月28日，Melanie Willingham-Jaggers和Annette Bening與GLSEN一起參加了一個特別的音樂、娛樂和講故事之夜，以支持該組織為全國200多萬LGBTQ+青年倡導的工作。
Annette Bening had a defiant message for foes of LGBTQ rights and equality in the United States, specifically political leaders who are targeting the trans community. “You do not want to make this momma mad,” said the four-time Oscar nominee as she received Advocate Award on Oct. 28 from GLSEN’s Rise Up LA benefit, which raised funds for the group’s programs supporting queer grade-school students across the country.
安妮特·貝寧向美國反對LGBTQ權利和平等的人，特別是那些針對跨性別群體的政治領導人，發(fā)出了挑釁的信息。10月28日，四次獲得奧斯卡提名的她在GLSEN的Rise Up LA慈善活動上獲得了倡導者獎，該活動為該組織在全國范圍內(nèi)支持同性戀小學生的項目籌集了資金，她說:“你不想讓這個媽媽生氣。”
Bening — who is the mother of a trans son, writer Stephen Ira, as well as three other children — spoke at the event about why she has become increasingly vocal in advocating for the trans community in recent years.
貝寧有一個跨性別的兒子，作家斯蒂芬·艾拉，以及另外三個孩子。她在活動上談到了為什么近年來她越來越多地為跨性別群體發(fā)聲。
“Most of my career, I’ve been a pretty private person … but over the last several years, I’ve changed my mind,” said Bening, explaining, “I have felt the responsibility to speak out and to speak up as transphobia has invaded our government at the local, state and federal levels. It is hurtful. It is shameful. And it is being used as a tool by the far right to rally their base and turn out the vote.”
“在我職業(yè)生涯的大部分時間里，我一直是一個非常低調(diào)的人……但在過去的幾年里，我改變了主意，”貝寧解釋說，“我覺得有責任大聲說出來，因為跨性別恐懼癥已經(jīng)侵入了我們的地方、州和聯(lián)邦政府。這很傷人。這是可恥的。它被極右翼用作凝聚他們的基礎和投票的工具。”
Bening also told a story about a friend who has a trans child and until recently lived in Texas, but who has moved her family to California due to Republican Governor Greg Abbott’s directive that gender-affirming care is child abuse. (The governor’s legal opinion is currently under temporary injunction.)
貝寧還講述了一個朋友的故事，她有一個跨性別的孩子，直到最近還住在德克薩斯州，但由于共和黨州長格雷格·阿博特(Greg Abbott)的指示，性別確認護理是虐待兒童，她全家搬到了加州。(州長的法律意見目前處于臨時禁令之下。)
“Imagine being brought up on criminal charges or reported to child protective services because you are just trying to do what is best for your child,” said Bening. The actress said that her friend became so scared amid the fearmongering that “it got to the point where my friend gave her young trans child a burner phone and an explicit set of instructions to follow in case child protective services came to her school to question her, which they have been allowed to do without the parents present.” Her friend’s move to California, said Bening, makes her a “political refugee within our own country. Think about that for a moment. The government should not be getting in between parents and children when it comes to private matters like this.”
貝寧說:“想象一下，因為你只是想為你的孩子做最好的事情，就被提起刑事指控，或者被報告給兒童保護機構。”這位女演員說，她的朋友在這些散布恐懼的言論中變得非常害怕，“以至于我的朋友給了她年輕的變性孩子一部一次性手機，并給了她一套明確的指示，以防兒童保護機構來她的學校詢問她，他們被允許在沒有父母在場的情況下這樣做。”貝寧說，她的朋友搬到加利福尼亞，使她成為“我們國家的政治難民”。想想看。在這種私人問題上，政府不應該介入父母和孩子之間。”
The benefit event — held at Neuehouse Hollywood — also included performances by singers Iniko and Noah Cyrus, who introduced her good friend, gay country singer Orville Peck, ahead of him receiving GLSEN’s Champion Award.
這場慈善活動在好萊塢新屋酒店舉行，歌手伊妮科和諾亞·賽勒斯也參加了演出，在她的好朋友、同性戀鄉(xiāng)村歌手奧維爾·派克接受GLSEN冠軍獎之前，賽勒斯介紹了他。
“This year, we’ve seen an unprecedented amount of propaganda, bills, legislation and outright attacks on our community even at some of the highest forms of government,” said Peck in accepting his award. “Heartbreakingly, the most affected have been our youngest and most vulnerable members — transgender youth.”
佩克在領獎時說:“今年，我們看到了前所未有的宣傳、法案、立法和對我們社區(qū)的直接攻擊，甚至在一些最高形式的政府中也是如此。”“令人心碎的是，受影響最大的是我們最年輕、最脆弱的成員——跨性別青年。”
Actor Wilson Cruz, recently named board chair of GLSEN, performed with entertainer Wayne Brady, who recently came out as pansexual. The two sang “I’ll Cover You” from Rent. “A song I haven’t sung in a very long time that I loved singing … here in Los Angeles about 26 years ago at the Ahmanson Theatre,” said Cruz.
最近被任命為GLSEN董事會主席的演員威爾遜·克魯茲與最近公開自己是泛性戀者的藝人韋恩·布雷迪同臺演出。兩人演唱了《吉屋出租》中的“I 'll Cover You”?？唆斊澱f:“這是一首我很久沒有唱過的歌，我喜歡唱……大約26年前在洛杉磯的阿曼森劇院。”
The program, emceed by drag star Mo Heart, also included appearances by Joy Ride’s Sherry Cola and comedian Fortune Feimster as well as speeches by members of LGBTQ students who work with GLSEN.
該節(jié)目由變裝明星莫·哈特主持，Joy Ride的雪莉·可樂和喜劇演員福寧·費姆斯特也在節(jié)目中亮相，與GLSEN合作的LGBTQ學生也發(fā)表了演講。
“We work to organize, champion and amplify the voices of a new generation of leaders,” said GLSEN executive director Melanie Willingham-Jaggers in a speech. The organization works with supportive educators across the country to help create LGBTQ-inclusive classroom environments and supports student-led clubs and the development of affirming curricula.
GLSEN執(zhí)行董事Melanie Willingham-Jaggers在一次演講中說:“我們致力于組織、支持和擴大新一代領導人的聲音。”該組織與全國各地的支持性教育工作者合作，幫助創(chuàng)造包容lgbtq的課堂環(huán)境，并支持學生主導的俱樂部和肯定課程的發(fā)展。
The benefit event mixed serious calls to action and warnings about the threats that LGBTQ youth face amid a rising tide of hate in America with a commitment to celebrating community and joy, the latter underlined by Bening in her remarks.
這場慈善活動既有嚴肅的行動呼吁，也有對LGBTQ青年在美國日益高漲的仇恨浪潮中面臨的威脅的警告，并承諾慶祝社區(qū)和歡樂，后者在她的講話中得到了強調(diào)。
“There is one thing I have always known,” said Bening. “Love and compassion have to lead the way. Let it lead the way towards radical understanding and acceptance, let it lead the way toward queer joy and celebration, and let it lead us all the way to the ballot box.”
“有一件事我一直都知道，”貝寧說。“愛和同情必須引領道路。讓它引領我們走向激進的理解和接受，讓它引領我們走向同性戀的喜悅和慶祝，讓它引領我們走向投票箱。”
