Debra Messing of the 'Will and Grace' fame has claimed that supporting LGBT causes has become part of her "life mission".
The 45-year-old actress, who is a staunch advocate for the LGBT community, told the Huffington Post that a teacher whom she lost to HIV/AIDS inspired her to fight for gay rights.
The Emmy Award winner added that she also wants to show the world a community that is not often celebrated or that people don't really know very much about.
