Joel McHale Donates Entire Proceeds from North Carolina Show to LGBTQ Center in Durham: WATCH

Andy Towle April 9, 2016 Leave a Comment

Actor and comedian Joel McHale ripped North Carolina legislators last night at his show at the Durham Performing Arts Center in Durham, NC, announcing that “every single dime I make tonight” would go to the LGBTQ Center as a show of protest against the anti-LGBT law passed there earlier this month.  He also made an impromptu LGBTQ t-shirt out of duct tape as a show of support.

Said McHale to the crowd:

“What the f*** you guys? … This is crazy. There was a moment where I wasn’t going to come tonight, but you know why. What the f*** is wrong with your government here, you guys? I know you guys are cool because your City Council passed a resolution opposing that stupid f***ing bill…It’s crazy. Why did they do it? Were they like, ‘oh, I’ll feel safe with my dick in my f***ing hand.'”
