π RIP DOLLY PARTON ποΈπ
Today we say goodbye to an absolute icon and a true, longstanding ally of the LGBTQIA+ community. π
Dolly Parton used her enormous platform to champion love, acceptance, equality and the simple right for people to be exactly who they are. She spoke proudly about her LGBTQIA+ fans and consistently stood for kindness over judgement.
In her own words:
βI think everybody should be allowed to be themselves, whoever they are.β π
For so many in the community, Dolly was far more than the Queen of Country.... She was joy, camp, strength, acceptance and a reminder that you can stand proudly alongside others simply because love is love.
The world has lost one of its brightest, kindest and most colourful stars. β¨
Thank you for the music, the laughter, the fabulousness and most importantly, thank you for being an ally.
Rest in peace, Dolly. π€
