Taylor Swift donates $113,000 to the Tennessee Equality Project as it fights Tennessee’s “slate of hate,” a group of bills advocates have deemed harmful to the state’s LGBTQ community.
. Unlike other celebrities, she did not publicly endorse a candidate in the 2016 presidential election. However, the Grammy- and Emmy-winning musician began sharing her political views during last year’s midterms, when she endorsed Tennessee Democrat Phil Bredesen over Republican Marsha Blackburn for an open U.S. Senate seat. One of Swift’s stated reasons for doing so was her belief that Blackburn would not protect LGBTQ rights.
“As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn,” Swift wrote in an Instagram at the time. “She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values.”“As a gay Tennessean who loves Taylor Swift, one could say this news is ... taylor-made for me,” Nick Morrow, a spokesperson for LGBTQ rights group Human Rights Campaign, wrote on Twitter.Blank Check
