Don Cheadle Spread a Powerful and Necessary Message on SNL, Simply by Wearing This T-Shirt

Don Cheadle sent some subtle yet powerful messages with his fashion choices on Feb. 16's episode of Saturday Night Live. The 54-year-old actor hosted the show and used the national attention to his advantage, wearing a "Protect Trans Kids" t-shirt as he introduced the musical guest, Gary Clark Jr.

Don's desire to stand up for transgender children received praise from fans and his fellow celebrities. Stars like Laverne Cox, Karamo Brown, Piper Perabo, and Sarah Silverman celebrated his action on the public stage. He also closed the show in a Sochi, Russia, "Trump" hockey jersey, a jab at the controversial president, who has attempted to block transgender soldiers from serving in the military.

Ahead, see a few of the excited reactions to Don's advocacy. More moves like this in 2019, please.
