Christopher Rosen, Entertainment Weekly; Robert De Niro dings Donald Trump at GLAAD Media Awards:

"De Niro closed his speech by getting serious, and calling out the North Carolina bathroom law that discriminates against trans men and women. “As an actor, I don’t judge the characters I play. As a person, I don’t judge the characters I play with,” he said. “I was fortunate to grow up in an atmosphere where freedom of expression in art and in life were the norms. And now, we have to look outside our bubble to the world where – because of religious beliefs or ignorance or mean-spiritedness – it’s not so easy.”

He added, “It’s been quite a year. A landmark decision for marriage equality. But also new, repressive laws like the ones in North Carolina that let us know the struggle continues, and challenges us to be vigilant and aggressive in all our rights. I’m happy to be part of a community that is so active in this quest.”"
