Tyler Perry studios LGBTQ

Tyler Perry opened Tyler Perry Studios over the weekend, a 330-acre complex with 12 sound stages in Atlanta on a former military base that was once a stronghold for the Confederacy.

Perry said he has big plans for the complex, which is larger than California lots owned by Warner Brothers, Paramount, and Walt Disney Studios combined.

Said Perry: “You know, the studio’s gonna be what it is. I’ll tell you what I’m most excited about next is pulling this next phase off, is building a compound for trafficked women, girls, homeless women, LGBTQ youth who are put out and displaced… somewhere on these 330 acres, where they’re trained in the business and they become self-sufficient.”
