«Breaking News» Anne Hathaway denounces white privilege in an award acceptance speech

High praise: 'Through her incredible talent and bold activism, Anne Hathaway uses her global platform to stand up for the LGBTQ community,' said HRC President Chad Griffin

Actress Anne Hathaway denounced white, straight and cisgender privilege in a speech at the Human Rights Campaign National Dinner in Washington D.C. on Saturday night.

The Oscar winner addressed the room as ladies, gentlemen and 'gentlethem.'

'It is important to acknowledge with the exception of not being a cisgender male, everything about how I was born has put me at the current center of a damaging and widely accepted myth,' she said.

'That myth is that gayness orbits around straightness, transgender orbits around cisgender, and that all races orbit around whiteness.'

Hathaway told of how she learned to reject the idea when she spent time with her older brother, who is gay, and the LGBTQ community.

'I appreciate this community because together we are not going to just question this myth, we are going to destroy it,' she told the crowd.

'Let's tear this world apart and build a better one.'

Hathaway was awarded the HRC's National Equality Award. She was recognized for using her time and celebrity to fight for LGBTQ and women's rights

Hathaway's motivation came after hearing former vice president Joe Biden speak.

'I really needed this,' Hathaway said as she accepted the National Equality Award at the Human Rights Campaign's National Dinner. 'You guys just gave me my heart back,' she said.

'I think I'm probably walking around like most people right now. I'm pretty shell shocked by what I see every day, what I hear everyday. And I really don't like to admit this, but I get scared.'   

'Through her incredible talent and bold activism, Anne Hathaway uses her global platform to stand up for the LGBTQ community,' said HRC President Chad Griffin. 

'From speaking out against discriminatory legislation targeting the LGBTQ community to her leadership on workplace equality for women, Anne is making a real difference in the lives of countless people around the globe.'

The actress was also appointed as UN Women's Global Ambassador in 2016 

Among her many deeds, Hathaway has regularly stood up to lawmakers and organizations who pushed for legislation that she and others felt discriminated against LGBTQ people. 

She and her husband, Adam Shulman, also helped bring-in much needed funds when they sold their wedding photos in 2012 and donated the proceeds to organizations working towards marriage equality.

In 2008, the Interstellar star told a crowd of HRC members and supporters in Los Angeles, 'I don't consider myself just an ally to the LGBT community, I consider myself your family. And so, I'm doing what we should all do with our families — I'm loving you, I support you, I completely accept you as you are, as I hope you do me, and if anyone ever tries to hurt you, I'm going to give them hell.'

The New York City native was also appointed as UN Women's Global Ambassador in 2016, where she's helping to to build and support equality for women around the world.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
