Demi Lovato shared a message of support to young trans people at the 2020 GLAAD Media Awards on Thursday (30.07.20).
The 'Sober' hitmaker made an appearance at the virtual awards ceremony to introduce Shea Diamond's performance of 'We Are Here' and used her introduction to stress that she is "fighting" for trans rights amid a "crazy" political climate.
She said: "It's never been more important to celebrate the acceleration of acceptance for the LGBTQIA+ community especially trans people of colour who face outrageous discrimination and danger.
"To all the trans youth, I want to make sure that you know that you matter.
"I know things are crazy hard right now and you may not have your usual support system around you.
"But don't let anyone especially our government fool you into thinking you are anything less than perfect and meant to be.
"Be proud of who you are. Keep your voices loud and strong and know that we are fighting for you.
"If you ever doubt it, just listen to this next performer."
