Patricia Arquette Defends Her Equality Comments at the Oscars 2015 - Read the Tweets
Oscar winner Patricia Arquette is defending the comments she made backstage at the 2015 Academy Awards on Sunday (February 22) about equal pay for women in relation to other minority groups.
The 46-year-old Boyhood actress said, “And it’s time for all the women in America and all the men that love women, and all the gay people, and all the people of color that we’ve all fought for to fight for us now,” which stemmed from her acceptance speech, which was well received.
“I have long been an advocate for the rights of the #LBGT community. The question is why aren’t you an advocate for equality for ALL women?” Patricia wrote in a series of tweets on Monday (February 23).

If you are fighting against #Equalpay you are fighting for ALL women and especially women of color to make less money than men.

Guess which women are the most negatively effected in wage inequality? Women of color. #Equalpay for ALL women. Women stand together in this
