A record number of anti-LGBTQ bills have been proposed in the US this year, with most of them targeting people who are not lesbian, gay, or bisexual. Lana and Lilly Wachowski are holding an auction of props from films like The Matrix and Cloud Atlas to raise money for vulnerable trans youth.
hi youse! so me and Lana have been doing some spring cleaning at our Raiders of the Lost Ark warehouse and have happily decided to pass on some of the best treasures we've been collecting over the years!! no ark of the covenants but some pretty major and magical artifacts!

The Enter the Matrix: The Wachowski Collection held by Potter and Potter Auctions features items from their film canon. The Protect and Defend Trans Youth Fund will distribute the funds to organizations in Florida, Arkansas, Tennessee and elsewhere in the US.
The screen-used lightning rifle from The Matrix is one of the items up for grabs. Other items include a purple Segway from Speed Racer, an execution chair from Cloud Atlas, latex ears and gravity boots from Jupiter Ascending, and more.
There will be a live auction on May 12th at 11AM. For information on how to help during Trans Week, visit their website.
