Lady Gaga, Chappell Roan Use Grammys To Defend Trans Rights After Trump Attacks
HuffPost
The Grammy winners used the opportunity to promote "trans joy" after the president signed executive orders targeting the community.
Lady Gaga used the Grammys stage to declare that transgender people are “not invisible” on Sunday after President Donald Trump’s attacks on the community since his inauguration.
“Trans people deserve love. The queer community deserves to be lifted up. Music is love,” said Gaga after winning the Grammy in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category for her Bruno Mars collaboration “Die With a Smile.”
The shoutout from Gaga, who identifies as bisexual and is known as an LGBTQ+ icon, arrived after a sea of executive orders from the president that target the trans community.
The Trump administration has blocked gender-affirming care for those under age 19, declared that there are only two sexes and seeks to send trans women to men’s prisons while blocking their gender-affirming care (the prison order has been temporarily blocked by a federal judge).
Gaga has previously spoken out against Trump’s attacks on the trans community and, in an interview with Elle UK published last week, vowed that LGBTQ+ allies were “not going down without a fight” after the president’s election win.
