Conservatives Freak Out Over 'Fantastic 4' Star

Pedro Pascal might be making his box office debut as a Marvel superhero in “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” but he didn’t need to slip into spandex to become the leftist hero the right hates to see coming.

As a matter of fact, the 50-year-old “babygirl”—an internet term used to describe a man unafraid to express his vulnerable side—has been a champion of issues that President Donald Trump and his supporters tend to foam at the mouth over.  

Take his fashion statements alone. In April, Pascal graced the red carpet with “PROTECT THE DOLLS” emblazoned across his chest. The slogan backs the transgender women currently under attack by Trump and his minions. 

And as a bearded man who has no fear when it comes to choosing style over being viewed as traditionally masculine, he is also unafraid to call out anyone who bashes the LGBTQ+ community. 

When “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling celebrated a new U.K. law this past April that strips more rights from transgender individuals, Pascal took to the comment section of a post regarding her celebration to publicly voice his disdain.
