We cannot rest on our laurels just because SOME people are gaining access to their rights. “Trans people are still getting murdered, getting beaten, getting thrown out of establishments, being denied jobs, denied healthcare, denied housing. They were fighting the freedom of all lgbtq people, not just the cis gays,” Michel wrote. It was a movement, not a stagnant celebration. Pride weekend, he didn’t “feel like celebrating pride until everyone can feel safe in lgbtq spaces.” We have to heal from within our community. This discrimination is happening within the LGBT community as well. “This issue is not just prevalent in the conservative, cis/het community. I will not stop fighting for the safety of my community until we are able to walk out our front doors without suffering, discomfort or death,” Michel wrote. “All I can do is use this experience to fuel my fire. In two updates on his Facebook, Michel said that he was “deeply grateful” for the support he had received, but also noted that “rans femmes of color have been dealing with situations far more brutal than the one I went through the other night. “I myself have said some bass-ackwards shit but Transphobia needs to be addressed whenever and wherever we see it.” “Shitty that we have to fight against straight pride when this kinda ignorance is still in play within our own ranks,” Willam wrote. 6 Capitol RiotsĪmong those who criticized The Abbey on social media was Drag Race and A Star Is Born star Willam Belli, who shared Michel’s post on Instagram urging The Abbey to “man up and hold your employees accountable.” The Abbey claims they “took immediate corrective action” and that its Human Resources team has “started an investigation with the employee.” We hoped Ezra would continue working with us but he decided to leave. When we found out about this incident, we were equally horrified. We strive to provide a safe and inclusive space for everyone. “Hate in any form is not tolerated at The Abbey. “We are sorry for the mistakes we have made,” the statement read. The job hunt continues.” Ezra Michel - Photo: FacebookĪfter three days of intense criticism on social media, The Abbey finally responded to Michel’s post in a statement shared on social media, apologizing to Michel and promising to “do better.” I can’t even bare the thought of having to see that man again, so I decided to quit today. “Today I got there early and reported him, but knowing he’s worked there for 25 years, I don’t think he’s going anywhere. “I felt so dehumanized and uncomfortable for the rest of my shift last night,” Michel continued.
