Molly Kearney flies into SNL's Weekend Update to defend Trans kids and address anti-LGBTQ+ bills.
We haven't seen much from new Saturday Night Live cast member Molly Kearney but when they do appear, they're always a delight. The show's first non-binary cast member had their time this week during Weekend Update. Host Ana de Armas with musical guest Karol G weren't part of Update, which isn't that surprising as the hosts rarely are, but it gave Kearney their time to shed light on an important issue happening in the United States: the attack on trans rights.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Kearney pointed out that those who are fighting to hurt the trans community are targeting kids and the gender-affirming healthcare that they need. And it's the truth. They're targeting kids and focusing their warped ideas about trans rights on those who need our help and protection the most and kids are being harmed in the process.
But it was a great example of when Weekend Update can be used for good. Another recent time Saturday Night Live let their actors talk about issues that are happening in the United States that they're passionate about was last season, when viewers saw Cecily Strong, dressed up as a clown, break character to talk about the threat to abortion rights still happening around the country.

It was telling trans kids that there are people fighting for them, and it's the truth. As Kearney pointed out: Those who are threatening the rights of the trans community are forcing trans kids to grow up too fast.
