Madonna's Tennessee Tour Takes a Stand for Transgender Rights
TL;DR
Madonna announced that she will be performing in Nashville on Dec. 22, with ticket proceeds going towards transgender organizations, amid Tennessee's new legislation against drag performers. Joining her onstage will be "RuPaul's Drag Race" Season 8 winner Bob the Drag Queen. The Tennessee legislature recently passed a law regarding "adult cabaret performance" that includes "male or female impersonators." Madonna has been a longtime supporter of gay and trans individuals and has been described as the LGBTQ+ community's greatest ally.
