Actress Lena Dunham angered social media users after making a request involving her casket and a pride parade.

On Sunday, Dunham tweeted, “When I go, I want my casket to be driven through the NYC pride parade with a plaque that reads ‘she wasn’t for everyone, but she *was* for us’- who can arrange?”

In 2014, Dunham received the Point Foundation’s Horizon Award for her LGBT advocacy work in New York.

During her acceptance speech, Dunham opened up about her sister who is a lesbian.

“It was actually a huge disappointment for me, when I came of age and realized that I was sexually attracted to men,” Dunham said.

She continued, “So when my sister came out, I thought, ‘Thank God, someone in this family can truly represent my passions and beliefs.'”

According to Dunham, her sister’s coming out was a “huge turning point” in her understanding of LGBT rights.

“We were raised in an environment—the art world of downtown Manhattan—where no one hid their sexual orientation, and a common question from 4-year-old me was ‘Mom, are those ladies gay together?’” Dunham said.

She added, “My sister’s process of coming to terms with her sexuality was as angst-free as anything involving sex can really be. She was assured by the adults in her life that she was not only accepted, but adored for who she is.”
