Taylor Swift Shows Why She’s More Than A Pop Star

Reports show Taylor Swift just donated over $100,000 to the Tennessee Equality Project, an organization working to combat discriminatory legislation in the state. The singer has been a long-time advocate for the LGBTQ community, and now she’s putting her money where her advocacy is to help fight anti-LGBTQ legislation. Apparently, Tennessee lawmakers are considering a number of bills that target the LGBTQ community in a very negative way, including provisions that would prohibit LGBTQ adoptions and give companies the right to get rid of LGBTQ-inclusive anti-discrimination policies. Taylor and her team have been working with Faith Leaders in Tennessee, many of whom have submitted a signed statement saying the anti-LGBTQ laws “promote discrimination rather than justice and demean the worth of LGBTQ people in our state.” This kind of social justice promotion makes us all proud to be “Swifties.”
