After the return of the saga of the famous horror movies HalloweenAmerican actress Jamie Lee Curtis has not stopped traveling to different parts of the world to promote Halloween: Ends, which is presumed to be the last installment of this series of tapes.
During the publicity tour of the new film that will put an end to the psychopathic murderer Michael Myers, the 63-year-old producer has also experienced great moments, such as the recent gift she received from the Mexican journalist Lolita Ayala during her visit to Mexico City .
Although his main purpose in his interviews is to talk about and promote his most recent film, Lee Curtis decided to take advantage of the space he was given during his visit to Spain to talk about issues of social interest such as the hatred that exists in social networks towards transgender people. .
Being a mother of a trans daughter, showing on her networks all the unconditional support she has given her throughout her life and after having officiated at her daughter Ruby’s wedding, in an interview for the Spanish media Being ChainJamie Lee Curtis raised her voice and asked the audience to stop the wave of hate and threats against those who have spoken out as transgender.
The actress who plays Laurie Strode in Halloween assured that he is a very scary person and that he is not fan of the horror genre. In addition, she said that she is afraid of acting in horror films, that maybe that is the reason why she is good at acting in them, since she defines herself as someone who is very emotional and very sensitive.
I don’t like scary movies. Any. I don’t like anything about them. I think if I’m good at acting in them it’s because my reaction is good, I don’t train it, but I react to those things.
– Jamie Lee Curtis
After that confession, Jamie Lee Curtis took the opportunity to say that something that terrifies her even more than acting in scary movies is the current level of violence that exists against transgender people, since she fears not only for her daughter, but for each of the people who through their social networks receive endless death threats.
I have a trans daughter. There are threats against his life, just for existing as a human being. There are people who want to annihilate her and people like her. The level of hate is… Like we haven’t learned from fascism, like we haven’t learned what the result of that is.
The actress compared society’s rejection of the trans community to fascism and said it’s terrible that nothing has been learned about the idea of exterminating human beings for the simple fact of existing. In addition, she commented that she would use her voice as a public figure to express her position and try to stop hatred and violence against all transgender people.
So Jamie Lee Curtis is scared and you should be too. And Jamie Lee Curtis has a voice and is trying to use it and so should you. And that’s how we change things, by thinking about them, learning about them, and then using our voices to draw attention to and fight against them.
