The law has since been temporarily blocked by a federal judge in the state.⁠ ⁠ Some 469 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced in the U.S. this year, according to a legislation tracker from the American Civil Liberties Union.⁠ ⁠ “In light of recent and tragic events and current events, I was told by people on the internet, ‘Cancel your shows in Tennessee,’ ‘Don’t go to Tennessee,’” Lizzo said.⁠ ⁠ “Their reason was valid, but why would I not come to the people who need to hear this message the most? The people who need to feel this release the most? Why would I not create a safe space in Tennessee where we can celebrate drag entertainers and celebrate our differences and celebrate fat Black women?”⁠ ⁠ “What people in Tennessee are doing is giving hope, so thank you so much for standing up for your rights."⁠ ⁠ Head to our link in bio to read more. // 📷️ AP, Getty Images // 🖊️ Ben Blanchet」4月24日 7時15分
