Joel McHale is protesting North Carolina’s HB2 law by donating “every single dime” from his show in the state.

McHale performed at the Durham Performing Arts Center on Friday, wearing a homemade LGBT T-shirt and told the audience he would be donating all proceeds from the show to the LGBTQ Center of Durham.

“Joel is vehemently opposed to HB2 and knows there are many in Durham (which recently passed a measure condemning the law) that share the feeling,” McHale’s representative said in a statement to People. “He felt this was a good way to raise awareness and much needed funds for a local center that is on the front line of this important cause.”

In a video from the show, McHale is seen calling the law stupid and crazy and says he considered not coming but decided he would because the city council passed a resolution opposing the law. He then promises to donate “every single dime” from his show.

Helena Cragg, the board chair for the LGBTQ Center of Durham, told BuzzFeed News that she is grateful for McHale’s efforts.

“As a new center we generously appreciate that kind of support in this moment while our people are hurting over the ways our local general assembly is not treating them properly,” Cragg told BuzzFeed News.“It’s heartwarming to get that kind of support from someone passing through and performing,” she said.

“I’m a big believer in the fact that for every movement different people need to implement different strategies,” Cragg continued “All strategies that bring attention to this horrible bill and encourage our general assembly to do the right thing are valid.”
