Pedro Pascal is sharing his beliefs on Instagram.
On Feb. 21, the actor took to the social media platform to share a pro-trans quote that said, “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.”
In the comments, Pascal’s followers were divided between those supporting the actor and others who said they were “unfollowing” him because of his post.
Pascal, in a pinned comment of his own, doubled down on the sentiments shared in his post.
“I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist,” he wrote.
Pascal’s sister, Lux Pascal, came out as transgender in a 2021 interview with the Chilean publication Ya magazine.
“For everyone in my family, my transition has been something very natural. Almost something they were waiting to happen,” she said, in a translation done by TODAY.com.
Lux Pascal said Pedro Pascal has been supportive of her journey.
“He has been an important part of this. He is also an artist and has been a guide. He was one of the first to give me the things that formed my identity,” she said.
Pedro Pascal briefly spoke about his sister during an interview with Esquire. He said he “wouldn’t want to speak on her behalf,” but that he would support her no matter what.
“She is and has always been one of the most powerful people and personalities I’ve ever known,” he said. “My protective side is lethal, but I need her more than she needs me.”
