Michael Imperioli is an ally for the LGBTQ+ community, and he's not going to stand for trolls criticizing him about it, either.
The White Lotus star, who played Dominic Di Grasso in season 2 of the HBO hit series, recently took to Instagram to show his support for the community by sharing the trans pride flag, likely in response to the recent legislation in many states attacking and oppressing non-binary and trans people.
Imperioli captioned his post of support:
"Dear brothers, sisters and siblings. fear not, be strong and don’t let the bastards grind you down."
"love you."
While many viewers of the post expressed their gratitude for Imperioli's support...

... a few decided to display their bigotry for all the world to see.
But the Sopranos actor didn't let them get away with it.

Those on social media who saw his responses to poison-minded former followers, thanked Imperioli for supporting trans rights and not letting trolls get away with spewing hate.
Thank you Michael Imperioli for continuing to support the LGBTQ+ community and for speaking out against those who don't.
