Matt Damon is applauding his daughter for broadening his understanding about the LGBTQ+ community.

"During a recent interview, I recalled a discussion I had with my daughter where I attempted to contextualize for her the progress that has been made -- though by no means completed -- since I was growing up in Boston and, as a child, heard the word 'f*g' used on the street before I knew what it even referred to," Damon shared in his statement on Monday.

"To my admiration and pride, she was extremely articulate about the extent to which that word would have been painful to someone in the LGBTQ+ community regardless of how culturally normalized it was," Damon continued. "I not only agreed with her but thrilled at her passion, values and desire for social justice."

"I do not use slurs of any kind. I have learned that eradicating prejudice requires active movement toward justice rather than finding passive comfort in imagining myself 'one of the good guys,'" Damon stated."And given that open hostility against the LGBTQ+ community is still not uncommon, I understand why my statement led many to assume the worst.

"The word that my daughter calls the 'f-slur for a homosexual' was commonly used when I was a kid," Damon said, "with a different application."
