The Nashville music industry has two sides. There’s the side that caters/panders to racist America & the side that is actively fighting for inclusivity. I’m proud to know so many good hearted humans fighting for the latter. Community is a powerful force in the face of injustice

Honestly wish I could take my music off Spotify as a form of protest but my broke ass actually needs the .00331 cents per stream. If you’re thinking about cancelling your Spotify membership please also consider buying concert tickets/merch/vinyl ect. 🙏💙

Leslie Jordan made church hymns inclusive for a traumatized queer like me. He was a bright light in a dark world. It’s devastating to see him go so soon but damn were we lucky that someone like Leslie existed in the first place 💫💙

Dear Republican lawmakers: banning drag shows isn’t stopping anyone from being Queer. We have the internet. We have shows like Queer Eye & RuPauls Drag Race, We have Elton John, Brandi Carlile & Lil Nas X. Queerness is mainstream now & no stupid law is stopping that progress 🌈🌈

Mainstream sources now confirming that it was in fact “trans” Audrey Hale, who went by Aiden. It always a very clear case of mental illness when someone identifies as trans. This was an anti-Christian hate crime motivated by radical left gender ideology.
