Nueva canción de Taylor Swift promueve donaciones masivas a colectivo LGBTQ

Los fanáticos de Taylor Swift no están más que emocionados que el último sencillo del cantante se estreno a la medianoche del viernes (14 de junio), y lo han demostrado cómo se sienten de la mejor manera posible.

De acuerdo con TMZ y otros medios, GLAAD (la Alianza de Gays y Lesbianas Contra la Difamación) ha experimentado una gran cantidad de donaciones en las horas desde que Swift “You Need to Calm Down” llegó a Internet. La estrella del pop nombra a la organización en el segundo verso de la canción.

“Why are you mad when you could be GLAAD? (You could be GLAAD)/ Sunshine on the street at the parade/ But you would rather be in the dark ages/ Makin’ that sign must’ve taken all night“, Swift canta en la pista.

GLAAD ya había establecido 1,300 dolares como meta para su campaña de recaudación de fondos del Mes del Orgullo, en honor al número favorito de Swift (13). Muchas de las donaciones que llegaron durante la noche también fueron por 13 dolares, informó TMZ, y Taylor Swift dio una contribución “muy generosa” a GLAAD al comienzo del Mes del Orgullo el 1 de junio.

La cantante de Reputation demostró además su apoyo a la comunidad LGBTQ en una carta abierta a la senadora Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) A principios de este mes, instándole a votar “sí” sobre la Ley de Igualdad. Según la ley GLAAD, la legislación, que ya aprobó la Cámara de los Estados Unidos, “protegerá a los estadounidenses LGBTQ de la discriminación en el empleo, la vivienda y otras instalaciones públicas“.

?HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!!? While we have so much to celebrate, we also have a great distance to go before everyone in this country is truly treated equally. In excellent recent news, the House has passed the Equality Act, which would protect LGBTQ people from discrimination in their places of work, homes, schools, and other public accommodations. The next step is that the bill will go before the Senate. I’ve decided to kick off Pride Month by writing a letter to one of my senators to explain how strongly I feel that the Equality Act should be passed. I urge you to write to your senators too. I’ll be looking for your letters by searching the hashtag #lettertomysenator. While there’s no information yet as to when the Equality Act will go before the Senate for a vote, we do know this: Politicians need votes to stay in office. Votes come from the people. Pressure from massive amounts of people is a major way to push politicians towards positive change. That’s why I’ve created a petition at change.org to urge the Senate to support the Equality Act. Our country’s lack of protection for its own citizens ensures that LGBTQ people must live in fear that their lives could be turned upside down by an employer or landlord who is homophobic or transphobic. The fact that, legally, some people are completely at the mercy of the hatred and bigotry of others is disgusting and unacceptable. Let’s show our pride by demanding that, on a national level, our laws truly treat all of our citizens equally. ?????????????
