But it’s time you heard them again”
#JohnLithgow reading 20 #LessonsOnTyranny by #TimothySnyder
Yeah, we hear you John, its not that you hate Trans People it's just that you don't care.
Did you need the money?
Bad new for any fans of John Lithgow. Per the article:
The actor, slated to play Albus Dumbledore in HBO's upcoming Harry Potter series, may have missed the last few years of headlines and controversies surrounding franchise author, J.K. Rowling, because he had no idea that his casting would be met with harsh backlash from her many critics.
As for whether the criticism has soured the role for him, Lithgow replied, “Oh, heavens no.”

New from Solzy at the Movies: John Lithgow Should Know Better About J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter

A man who gained fame by portraying a transgender woman sees nothing wrong with helping make one of the biggest transphobes on the planet even richer than she already is.
Celebrities, particularly 'liberal' celebrities, will always break our hearts if we give it to them.

“I thought, ‘Why is this a factor at all?’ I wonder how J.K. Rowling has absorbed it,” Lithgow said. “I suppose at a certain point I’ll meet her, and I’m curious to talk to her.”
When asked if the backlash has made him reconsider the role, Lithgow said, “Oh, heavens no.”
Seriously, go to hell if it didn't even give you pause for a second.

John Lithgow’s reading gave me goosebumps. As Canadians, these lessons are just as applicable. The next time you see a conservative political ad, apply these lessons. Its important!
