Liev Schreiber is showing his support for the LGBTQ+ community after opening up about his daughter Kai coming out as trans.
The 57-year-old actor and his wife Taylor Neisen stepped out with Kai, 16, at the Ali Forney Center’s A Place at the Table Gala on Friday night (May 9) at The Glasshouse in New York City.
The gala celebrated the resilience of LGBTQ+ youth and honored the individuals and organizations working to build a more inclusive, supportive future.
Liev recently opened up about Kai coming out to him and mom Naomi Watts. He also talked about the need to step up and support people who are facing hardship while coming out.
“This isn’t just about representing the trans community,” he told Variety. “This is actually a community of people who don’t have great resources, who don’t have access to help, who aren’t being protected and looked after by their families. These are people who are being rejected. These are people who are experiencing the harshest version of humanity that we can offer, and some of them are not surviving it. We got to bear that in mind when we go out there and glam ourselves up and get ready to be seen, you know? That what we’re doing is actually raising money for a community that desperately needs it.”
