Quote:The Paramore singer also slammed the CCM industry for a lack of 'gay-affirming support' that she believes leads closeted musicians into 'self-hating' and destructive behavior.

Hayley will probably get some shade from people thinking she's excusing singer Michael Tait's predatory behavior. I don't see it that way. As she says, "F— All of You Who Knew and Didn’t Say Anything" and she's also right that just being gay is NOT the problem.

One of the things I hate about the current pushback against trans is the number of people I see who are either okay with the TQ+ pushback taking down LGB with it, or who actively want to push back against LGB also and think LGB is "mental illness" "depraved" "sinful" etc. I'm tired of people who blame only the TQ+ for that, too. Someone who hates lesbian and gay people probably didn't start hating lesbian and gay people just because Dylan Mulvaney got a specialty Bud Light can or because Bruce Jenner became Caitlyn Jenner. They already hated LGB and they don't get a hall pass from me just because we share some negative opinions on TQ+.

What is their damage with the Bud Light ad? They got a TIM to say that a beer brand is good...and? That's it? That's all? Just a TIM happening to be in an ad? Women don't like TIMs because of the horrific sexist drivel they spew, because they are dismantling our basic protections, because they're creeping on lesbians, because they're pushing back against our human rights. Men don't like TIMs because OMG THIS GAY [trans-slur] IS DESTROYING MUH SPORTS AND MUH DICK BY VRITUE OF EXISTING, HRNNGH 🏈💪 Literally why do they even give a damn? I just can't believe the kind of pathetic, inane bullshit that makes straight men go into a mass testerical rage over nothing, things that don't affect them in any way. And meanwhile women are trying to deal with actual problems and make people understand that men still pose a danger to us regardless of the amount of makeup they have on.
