The Last of Us star condemns homophobic hate

In a recent interview, Ashley Johnson, one of the stars of the critically acclaimed video game “The Last of Us,” spoke out against homophobic hate and discrimination. Johnson, who voices the character Ellie in the game, expressed her support for the LGBTQ+ community and emphasized the importance of inclusivity and acceptance.

“I believe that love is love, and everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity,” Johnson said. “It’s heartbreaking to see the level of hate and discrimination that still exists in our society, and I will continue to use my platform to speak out against it.”

Johnson’s comments come in the wake of several high-profile incidents of homophobia and transphobia in the gaming community, including online harassment and threats aimed at LGBTQ+ players and content creators. The actress urged fans and fellow industry professionals to stand up against hate and work towards creating a more inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone.

“We have a responsibility to support and uplift one another, no matter who we are or who we love,” Johnson added. “I hope that by speaking out, we can inspire others to do the same and help make the world a better place for future generations.”
