Alyssa Milano says that celebrity activism is at its best "when we are able to hand over the microphone" to the "incredible heroes" doing activism work day to day. She's pictured above in July 2018 at a protest following President Trump's meetings with Russia's Vladimir Putin. A longtime activist, Milano says it's impossible to avoid "the vitriol," especially when talking about the Middle East.
Alyssa Milano first became an activist more than 30 years ago. But she tells the story of her eureka moment like it was yesterday.
In the late 1980s, when she starred in the sitcom Who's the Boss?, one of her fans was a teenager named Ryan White who was HIV positive. The two became friends.
"He asked me if I would go on TV and give him a kiss to show that you couldn't get AIDS from casual contact," Milano recalls. She agreed and kissed White on Phil Donahue's national talk show.
"It was the first time I felt that my being an actor, being on TV, had a purpose that was bigger than I was," she says.

isn’t she the nutcase that was begging for donations for her son’s baseball team?
Activist almost always means leftist or godless communist.
Heartwarming. As fluffy as a porn shoot.
And poor Ryan White. The gaystapo celebrated his death sentence from fag tainted blood so they could prove aids wasn’t exclusively for promiscuous homosexuals.
I haven’t heard anything (loud) from Allysa in a few years, nothing like four or five years ago. I guess she continues to wear her Democrat/Socialist/One-Worlder blinders to all the damages of the Biden Administration.
The fact that Republican politicians have even allowed a complicated government-funding scheme to contribute cash to NPR shows how careless and unserious the modern GOPe is.
NPR only promotes activists from the Left. Bias, anyone?
Yes
“Activist” is someone who wants to call you names, then steal your stuff, then kill you.
My tinnitus makes more sense.
NPR really? Everyone complains when Gateway PUndit is posted here?

But Alyssa Milano is a screaming leftist nutcase, through and through!
Robert Heinlein:
“[T]here seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously—after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important ... so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be ignorant and sub-literate every time he opens his mouth.”
Milano is insufferable.
