Marcia Gay Harden is standing up for her queer children and LGBTQ people everywhere.

The Oscar-winning actor criticized the waves of discriminatory legislation sweeping the country while opening up about her own family during the Drag Isnt Dangerous telethon on Sunday.

What drives me is because its right and whats happening right now is wrong, Harden told co-host Adam Shankman, the director of 2007s Hairspray, about her activism.

What drives me is my children are all queer. My eldest child is nonbinary. My son is gay. My youngest is fluid. And you know, they are my kids and they teach me every day.

The thespian shares children Eulala Scheel, 24, Julitta Dee Harden Scheel and Hudson Harden Scheel, both 19, with ex husband Thaddaeus Scheel.
