LilyLark 9,683 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Good. I'm glad that performers like Lana and Gaga are trying to help by putting money towards counseling, gun control organizations, etc. The BTWF does a lot of low key good work—my friend who lives in Vegas said there was a small bit on her local news a few months ago about how BTW funds some programs at a few of the local high schools. I just worry that we'll never be able to defeat the NRA no matter how many protests, petitions, etc. we all do considering how nothing changed after Sandy Hook. Well, Obama managed to get a small background check through even if the Republicans shot down the rest of the legislation...which f*cking Trump overturned by executive order. Which is an insanely depressing thought, so I have to try and believe that we'll defeat the NRA somehow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, she made it personal, heartfelt & helpful which anyone could appreciate, no matter of their political views. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantasmas 7,980 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 but why? why can politics only be brought up when youre at a podium? would Gaga talking about both things at once reduce her social clout or something, i dont get it? these affected families & communities are doing both at this very moment and i feel like we should follow. because what even is the timetable for mourning? what date should we mark to say were finally all “healed” enough to talk politics that affect us all? you dont have to separate youre emotions and condolences from your politics. pushing laws that protect us all isnt an “agenda”, its asking for common decency.

And I don’t even know why you need to bring down her business endeavors in this topic, just appreciate her message. Welll it doesn't matter to me so I'm glad she finally posted about something that I believe matters instead of the constant product placement. Y'all are getting defensive over nothing.
