Pedro Pascal Supports Sabrina Carpenter’s Trans Rights VMAs Performance

At the 2025 MTV VMAs, Sabrina Carpenter delivered a powerful, rain-soaked performance of her song "Tears," which prominently featured drag performers and trans women, advocating for trans rights with signs reading "In Trans We Trust" and "Protect Trans Rights." Her performance and win for Best Album were met with widespread praise, notably from actor Pedro Pascal, who shared a photo of Carpenter from the show on his Instagram Stories with a crown emoji, signaling strong support. Pascal, a well-known LGBTQ+ ally with a trans sibling, has consistently used his platform to defend trans rights and has publicly condemned anti-trans figures such as J.K. Rowling. The Carpenter-Pascal friendship, including their recent collaboration on the SNL 50th special, adds a personal dimension to his endorsement. Pascal's ongoing activism includes wearing a "Protect the Dolls" T-shirt to a UK premiere to benefit Trans Lifeline, reflecting his deep commitment to the cause. Together, their actions highlight a growing movement in entertainment to elevate and protect trans and queer communities.
