Oscar-winning actress Marcia Gay Harden on Sunday claimed that all three of her children are queer.
Harden, 63, was taking part in the “Drag Isn’t Dangerous” telethon that took place during the first weekend in May when she made the statement, according to People. The purpose of the telethon was to raise money to fight against what’s being described as “anti-LGBTQ” legislation. When asked why she was taking part, Harden said “all my children are queer.”
“What drives me is because it’s right and what’s happening right now is wrong,” Harden told event host Adam Shankman. “What drives me is — my children are all queer. My eldest child is non-binary. My son is gay. My youngest is fluid. And you know, they are my kids and they teach me every day.”

Harden has three children with her ex-husband Thaddaeus Scheel, Eulala, 24, and 19-year-old twins Julitta and Hudson, according to PageSix. “This is so fear-based, and it’s spreading that kind of fear and hatred among other people,” Harden said of the legislation, which serves to protect minors from sexualized activities. “I believe this country will fight that.”
