After making clear he’s part of the community, the journalist spoke about the future of the #MeToo movement and his personal inspirations.

Journalist Ronan Farrow was honored by the Point Foundation on Monday for his impactful work as a reporter over the last year — including a series for The New Yorker about the sexual assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein, as well as his groundbreaking reporting for NBC on transgender issues.

Farrow, long a private person even though his parents are Mia Farrow and Woody Allen, used his acceptance speech to make something clear.

After being presented the Point Courage award by fellow Point Foundation honoree and former MSNBC colleague Thomas Roberts, Farrow said:

“Being a part of the LGBT community, which recognized that reporting I was doing early on and elevated it, and has been such a stalwart source of support through the sexual assault reporting I did involving survivors who felt equally invisible — that has been an incredible source of strength for me. LGBT people are some of the bravest and most potent change agents and leaders I have encountered, and the most forceful defenders of the vulnerable and voiceless, because they know what it’s like to be there.”
