- 5. JAKECHESSUM/TRUNKARCHIVE A star of stage, screen and TV both in his native U.K. and in the U.S., Alan Cum- ming has been a longtime activist and champion for LGBTQ causes. The Scottish actor, currently play- ing wheeling-and-dealing political operative Eli Gold on The Good Wife, has done work for such or- ganizations as the Family Equality Council (which advocates for LGBTQ families), media watchdog GLAAD, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (which funds health clinics and food banks and pro- vides assistance with housing for those living with HIV and AIDS) and the Hetrick-Martin Institute (which supports and protects at-risk LGBTQ youth). He’ll soon raise money for Broadway Cares by donating the proceeds of sales of items from “Club Cumming”—a personal backstage bar the actor sets up for the cast and crew of his stage shows—such as serving trays and glasses, which will be available at the tableware retailer Fishs Eddy. “I feel I would try to help as much as I do even if I wasn’t on TV or famous,”Cumming says.“But the fact that I am means I have a much bigger voice and reach.It is a duty to use fame and use it wisely. It really is a great gift for me to be able to give something back.” The Tony-winning actor credits his heritage for his dedication to helping others.“Being Scottish,”he says,“means I was born with a very strong sense of justice and the inability to be quiet when some- thing is unfair or someone is being hard done by.” —Ileane Rudolph Support of LGBTQ Causes AlanCumming TheGoodWife,CBS The Eva Longoria Foundation E va Longoria was, at one time, getting up to 20 char- ity requests a day.“‘We want Eva to help with dolphins in Japan’ and ‘We want Eva to help with AIDS in Africa’ and ‘Can Eva come to save the rainforest?’” Longoria says.“It was very over- whelming…but also encouraging. I just thought,‘I need a focus.’” Inspired by community pro- grams that helped her forge her own path to college, the Devious Maids executive producer and star of the upcoming NBC comedy Hot & Bothered found that focus in helping to empower Latinas and their families through education and entrepreneurship. Founded in 2012, the Eva Long- oria Foundation—yes, that’s ELF for short—has launched several successful and life-altering initia- tives, including a program that has provided microloans to more than 100 budding businesswomen and another that has taught more than 1,000 low-income Latino parents how to make sure their kids are getting the education they deserve. “The future success of America is intricately tied to the future success of the Hispanic commu- nity,”says Longoria,whose primary role at the foundation is to engage the public in understanding these issues.“We are the fastest-growing [ethnic group] in the United States that is the least educated. This is going to be the future workforce of the United States. So we’re going to have to really pay attention to that problem right now.” —Gregory E.Miller EvaLongoria Hot&Bothered,NBC WALLYSKALIJ/CONTOURBYGETTYIMAGES THE HONOREES
- 6. ADOCATES FOR CHANGE BRIANHIGBEE/CPISYNDICATION 4 MANAGEMENTARTISTSSYNDICATION 5 N o one had to explain to Beth Behrs the importance of the Rape Foundation’s Rape Treatment Center, the only crisis facility in Los Angeles that provides victims with 24-hour emergency medical care, forensic examinations, crisis intervention, long-term counseling and accom- panying services all in one place. “I experienced it firsthand,” she says.“A friend of mine was sexu- ally assaulted in college. After she told me, I frantically googled what to do, finding the center. We still call the staff our angels.” Then, earlier this year, actress Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) took Behrs on a tour of the center, where she met the foundation’s president, Gail Abarbanel.“I got to thank her in person,” says Behrs, who has been repaying the kind- ness both as a spokesperson and by spearheading the running- based initiative Sprint Away Silence, which raises funds for the foundation.“I’m going to continue to make the Rape Treat- ment Center as much a part of my media presence as 2 Broke Girls,” she says.“Rape is an epidemic— like cancer. But unlike rape, no one ever claims you ‘allegedly’ have lymphoma. I want to help support the survivors, who are so often silenced, because the more sup- port they feel, the more likely they are to come forward, which ulti- mately leads to fewer rapists on the streets and more in jail.” —Aubry D’Arminio LaverneCox OrangeIstheNewBlack,Netflix Support of LGBTQ Causes E ver since Orange Is the New Black made Laverne Cox a star, the actress—who is transgender—has proved a fierce advocate for the LGBTQ commu- nity. She’s partnered with GLAAD to fight the bullying of LGBTQ youth, she’s toured the country to share her story at colleges and she produced an MTV documen- tary, Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word, which shined a light on the issues facing young trans people. On social media, she turned a hashtag about loving who you are—#TransIsBeautiful—into a movement. This summer, she served as the spokesperson for Equinox’s #PoweredByPride cam- paign supporting the Hetrick- Martin Institute, which provides programs for LGBTQ youth. And in June, she headlined Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS’ annual burlesque show, helping to raise more than $1.5 million for the charity in one night. All this exposure has made her one of the most recognizable faces in the push for trans accep- tance and appreciation.“I’ve been very blessed to have gotten so many letters and emails and met so many trans folks who said they transitioned [or] they’ve come out to friends and family because of my work,” Cox says.“If I can inspire someone to live more authentically and to pursue their dreams, then that’s awesome.” —Gregory E.Miller The Rape Foundation BethBehrs 2BrokeGirls,CBS “If I can inspire someone to live more authentically and to pursue their dreams, then that’s awesome.” Laverne Cox “It is a duty to use fame and use it wisely. It really is a great gift for me to be able to give something back.” Allan Cumming “ I want to help support the survivors, who are so often silenced, because the more sup- port they feel, the more likely they are to come forward, which ultimately leads to fewer rapists on the streets and more in jail.” Beth Behrs “The future success of America is intricately tied to the future success of the Hispanic community.” Eva Longoria
