Singer Taylor Swift demonstrated her support in defense of the LGBT community by donating $113,000 to the Tennessee Equality Project, a Nashville-based group that recently convened more than 100 religious leaders to denounce six anti-LGBT bills. Dubbed the "Slate of Hate," it is passing through the state legislature.
The group published a letter written by Swift, who cited a recent petition from religious leaders opposing a series of bills targeting LGBTQ individuals.
The note was written on stationery that had the singer's name at the top along with "Made in 1989" and "Loves Cats."
"I am very inspired by the work you do, specifically France Mobile Number List in organizing the recent petition by Tennessee religious leaders opposing the 'hate list' in our state legislature," Swift wrote.
“I am so grateful that they are giving all people a place to worship.”
Swift praised religious leaders for giving all people a place to pray and to "rise up against the Hate Front, in our state legislature."
Tennessee, known as the home of country music, has been described by some activists as the "Hate State" for including bills that allow adoption agencies to discriminate against same-sex couples and prevent government agencies from considering non-public policies. discriminatory practices of a business when selecting a contract.
Bills on the hate list include protection for private adoption agencies that discriminate based on religious views and a requirement for Tennessee's attorney general to defend schools that engage in bathroom discrimination against people transgender.
For his part, Chris Sanders told The Guardian that bringing together religious leaders was a special step in the mobilization. "The impact will be that his fans will certainly pay attention to what's going on in the state legislature," Sanders said. «The bills are coming out of the Tennessee House of Representatives; "We are at a critical point."
It should be noted that at election time Swift was criticized for not talking about her vote, since she has a lot of influence on young voters. However, in October she endorsed two Democratic candidates for Congress, for which they received praise and criticism, from Donald Trump, who said he now liked Swift's music 25% less.
In a list of "30 Things I Learned Before I Turned 30" that Swift contributed to Elle magazine in March, she wrote about "finding my voice in terms of politics."
"I realized that it is actually my responsibility to use my influence against that disgusting rhetoric," Swift wrote. «I'm going to do more to help. We have a great race next year.”
