Golden Globe winner Taraji P. Henson has a message to any homophobic critics of ‘Empire’: “I’ll send you cookies.”

The actress spoke out after the awards about the homophobic fodder that plagues the conversation around the show:

Via People:

“We ignore that. That’s nonsense and that’s fear, so we understand where that’s coming from, so there’s nothing to comment on that. The numbers speak for themselves,” said Taraji.

“People are dealing with this, it’s not a joke, that’s why it’s in the script. It’s not for show, it’s not for sensationalism. It’s because people are struggling with this. And that’s why we shed light on it. You can’t make everybody happy, we don’t try to. We just try to touch and affect lives and I think we have. We’re always going to have haters, so here’s to all my haters! I’ll send you cookies, thanks.”

Well there ya have it, haters!
