Has the Democratic party not silenced and criminalized the gay community?

Chappell Roan herself was invited to a drag/queer event at the White House by Biden personally and decided not to attend because someone on her team convinced her the US government would kill her and her family for reading a poem for Palestine, which she had permission to read.

"The Democrats have silenced and criminalized the gay community"

Jesus Christ.

She is so lame lol

[GH333 47]

You simply can’t make music hoping to become popular, become popular and then reject it. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.

That being said, I agree with her sentiments. Artists are human beings too and deserve to be treated as so, just like everybody else would in public. She’s just going about it the wrong way. Her promo team must be sweating.

This is probably the stupidest thing I've ever read on this website and that is a high bar, my friend.

So tell me who started Dont Ask Dont Tell. Tell me where Stonewall occurred. Tell me how many Democrats voted against the 1996 Defense of Marriage Bill. Tell me what Democrats voted to not cut off funding to schools that taught homosexual acceptance in 1994. Clinton was president when the CDC initially named AIDS as GRID, Gay Related Immune Deficiency Disorder, right?

Could you link me to where her declining the invitation was linked to that belief, and that the White House would have allowed the poems?

Nobody is gaslighting, the f*uck? 

The user I quoted suggested people should not react, AT ALL. 

Which I pointed out is a wild statement to make. 

It is common sense that if you put your opinion out there people will respond all types of ways. 

I thought you were responding to her specifically. I get that people can react in all types of ways, but people should choose to be kind and cognizant of others mental health.

It's the same people that praise Gaga for being open and raw in her music. Chapell's mistake is speaking about it rather than putting it on a catchy song little monsters will pretend to relate to. I'm disgusted at the amount of people that scream mental health until it's someone they don't like. 

It's so insanely crazy to get on the internet and claim somebody doesn't seem to want to get better based off of a single statement she's made. She's said she's in therapy twice a week, on top of other things. It's invalidating as f*CK to basically say "if you really wanted to get better you would" as if it's not a actual f*cking struggle. If it was that easy mental health issues wouldn't exist. Please stop commenting on others' mental health, and take a moment to think on why you should be absolutely ashamed of yourself for this ignorant commentary. 

 

People who want to get better do get better by trying and having the will. I never said it was not a struggle or that it was easy, but to me it is always a conscious choice, so yes, if you wanted to you could. No amount of external help will get through to someone who doesn't want it. 
 

I agree, I made an assumption about her not wanting to get better. I sincerely take that back. It was the impression I got because it has not been one statement. She’s pretty much tripled down several times on how she’s not moving forward with this, the constant backtracking, usually with a lot of disdain for her life. You can clearly tell she’s over it and it’s hard to see her wanting this; albeit thats something only she will know. I wish her the best of strength to keep going, she’s talented and deserves success while still being healthy and happy

man i feel for her cuz of that depression stuff

i have it too

but we cant let it stop us from trying to succeed further in life

she said she worked so hard and it took her long to finally get into the position 

hope shes careful cuz u can just lose all that in just a sec

maybe she doesnt want fame and stuff. i kinda miss the days tho when artists made music cuz that what they like but i understand cuz it is a business. u need to market urself well and work ur ass off to get it.

GRID came about in the early 80s, and was gone by about 85/86 at the latest. Clinton was first elected in 1992.

Clinton was significantly better than Reagan & Bush Snr on the AIDS crisis. Massively increases federal funding for support & research initiatives, first president to visit the AIDS quilt, reduced red tape around medical trials and initiated the international support programmes.

[Blackout19 10,495]

people really like her ?! 

[Fantina 3,274]

Not surprising considering how many people came for her for absolutely no reason. It's not that she can't handle fame; it's that some people misunderstood what she said and are now suddenly calling her a Republican.

[phantasmas 9,970]

how quickly people will turn on u for being outspoken about oppression and the injustices in the world  (when it doesnt fit those people's agenda)

I love her and hope she gets all the time she needs for a rest.

That said, I say this out of concern and with love - hope she takes a long break during Q4 and throughout 2025, this was a really hectic year for her.

Too bad people are not ready for someone being real and who is unwilling to hide behind PR scripts. She is probably facing a lot of pressure from the industry within that she is relying her image on neglecting those parts of celebrity culture that so many other celebs are heavily dependent on (even Gaga ) let alone from the public the overnight fame. Much about celebrity culture and what is wrong with it (obsession with fame, hustle culture, cancel culture, beauty and competition especially among women) influences us as a society. You can say she's messy or unprofessional but you could also highlight her sensitivity towards those issues who she wants to be a lead figure and actively do it differently. If it wouldn't sound so pathetic bc our society is not ready for this kind of conversation I'd say it's revolutionary to have someone (who is also queer) on such a young age and who is putting their well being above everything else and fight for it to be heard and accepted the way it feels right for them. Who knows if she's even with the right people that are on her team? It takes a village to handle a career like that and good for you if you also want to change the system that you're just be accepted to get in. You know, I would give her a chance that she's trying something different. Time will tell. And there is enough room for you to cancel her anytime later if you'd really want to.

Saying shes “overwhelmed” and whatever after backlash is typical PR script. Lizzo did the same thing.
