Patricia Arquette speaks out for transgender rights during Emmy acceptance speech

Patricia Arquette used her Emmy acceptance speech for her role in Hulu's"The Act" to mention someone who unfortunately could not be there to celebrate with her: her sister, Alexis, the actress and transgender activist who died in 2016.

"In my heart, I'm so sad I lost my sister Alexis and that trans people are still being persecuted," Arquette said while accepting the Emmy award for best supporting actress in a limited series or movie."I'm in mourning every day of my life, Alexis."Arquette was greeted with cheers as she petitioned for less persecution of and more job security for transgender people, saying"let's get rid of this bias that we have everywhere.

There is no such thing as transgender rights. Transgender is a delusion as are any attendant rights. All Americans have the same rights; special rights are unconstitutional.

Sadly families and the mental health institutions are not addressing these deviants and their deadly lifestyle Sorry to hear of another loss

So, actually it was her brother Robert!

You mean her brother....

You guys really have 42m subs? I only see some 500 likes per tweet on average. Probably Tweeter is fooling around

Her brother/sister died of AIDS, not 'persecution.' Her speech would've been much more compelling if s/he was the victim of a hate crime or something.

That’s lovely! ❤️

Could have sworn her sister's name was Anna or something like that.

Thank you, PattyArquette! 💪💪💪

beautifully done.

Good for her! Speak up for the trans community!

To exploit her sister... there, fixed it.
