Patricia Arquette supports trans people at GLAAD awards
Time/By Cady Lang
When Patricia Arquette was honored Saturday night with the Vanguard Award at the 2017 GLAAD Media Awards, she made good use of her acceptance speech time by paying tribute to her late sister, trans actor Alexis Arquette, who passed away last September at the age of 47.
Arquette also used her speech to make a case for increased visibility and acceptance of trans individuals, going so far as to call out attorney general Jeff Sessions and the Department of Justice for not responding to a letter from Democratic members of Congress asking for a federal hate crime investigation into the pattern of murders of transgender women.
