OlderDemi Lovato Pens a Heartfelt Love Letter to the LGBTQ Community
Singer Demi Lovato is the latest in a series of artists who have been writing love letters to the LGBTQ community (read Fifth Harmony‘s Lauren Jauregui‘s here) and she pours her heart out for the community that has always supported her.
“This is for some of my closest friends,” she begins in her Billboard letter, “for the young gay men who dance their hearts out at my shows, for the fabulous drag queens at bingo night who own every room they walk in to, and for a wonderful and kind community who have embraced, loved, and championed me for as long as I can remember.”
She goes on to applaud Pride Month, saying how much she has loved watching people come together to celebrate who they are.
“When I hear about discrimination and setbacks, that truly breaks my heart,” she continues. “I struggle with wrapping my head around the fact that we live in a world where love and equal rights still have to be questioned or discounted… You inspire, empower, and encourage me every day, and I will continue to stand with you and will give you all the same and more in return.”
Demi has long been an advocate for the LGBTQ community — she even threw a pride barbecue this year.
