Lauren Patten thanked her “trans and nonbinary friends and colleagues” Sunday while accepting the Tony Award for best featured actress in a musical for her performance in “Jagged Little Pill.”.
Was kind of hoping they would play off Lauren Patten before she even got to the stage.
that lauren patten would accept that award just bears testament to the fact that no amount of “accountability conversations” can change how she believes her entitlement to play that role is more important than what any trans person feels.
if lauren patten actually believed what she said, she would drop out of the show and decline the award.
But it SUCKED to see her get up on that stage and take that award when there are trans and non-binary actors who will never get CLOSE to the Tony’s BECAUSE OF THIS SITUATION.
