Pedro Pascal Struts in a Statement Tee, with Lux by His Side

Everyone's favorite zaddy, Pedro Pascal, marked his 50th birthday with a shoutout to allyship, hanging with Honey Dijon and sporting a T-shirt with a trans-supportive message.
"Though 'The Last Of Us' actor technically turned 50 on April 2, he held his birthday bash on Sunday (April 6)," NME reported. "House megastar Honey Dijon oversaw the party by headlining, with Pascal wearing a 'House Of Dijon' cap in support."
That wasn't all the "Mandalorian" star wore to the party, which included celebrity guests like Russell Tovey and Dino Fetscher. He was also clad in a white T-shirt emblazoned with the words "Protect the Dolls." The word "dolls" in this case, Pink News noted, is a slang reference to trans women that "originated in Black and Latinx underground Ball culture."
The image went up to Pascal's Instagram Story, but was reshared across the platform.
The iconic pic migrated to X, as well, where Gay Twitter embraced it wholeheartedly.
The party moved to the dance floor, where Pascal and his sister, trans actor Lux Pascal, moved to the music.
Pascal has been outspoken about his allyship, especially with regard to Lux. He's also impressed the world with his dance moves recently in a different context: a short film by Spike Jonez advertising Apple Airpods. The film is a brightly colored (and, some would argue, pretty gay) fantasia.
