Hollywood actress Jane Fonda had a
message for LGBT youth at the season 2 premiere of Grace and
Frankie.
“Just know that you are not alone,”
Fonda told gay glossy The Advocate. “That all around this
country, there are places that you can go to find support and help
and advice and love. You are not alone.”
Fonda added that young people coming
out to their parents should not give up hope.
“Do not despair, no matter what your
parents say. You've got to understand it can be very hard for
parents to hear that their son or daughter is gay. But it's their
problem. It's not your problem. Don't despair,” she
said.
