thanks for respecting the picket line Anne!!
Anne Hathaway walked out of a Vanity Fair photo shoot Tuesday morning in support of the Condé Nast Union walk out.
Hathaway was unaware of the work stoppage when she arrived at the New York photo shoot. She was still in hair and makeup when her team was notified by a staffer

astonishing to see people in the comments complaining about this. Have we actually cheapened LGBTQ rights discourse so much that people don’t think it’s a worker issue?? That they feel corporations with a rainbow slapped on are to be trusted more than calls to unionize? yikes
LGBTQ people face unacceptable workplace discrimination and abuse. I say to the huge corporations rainbow-branding themselves for
#PrideMonth
:
Pay your employees fairly.
Let them unionize.
Support their right to health care.
Do not cheapen the struggle for dignity and freedom.
