Madonna is calling out Donald Trump‘s administration for their anti-LGBTQ+ agenda.
The Trump administration just took over the White House a week ago and has marginalized groups in fear for their futures.
Madonna took to social media to support the LGBTQIA+ community amid the uncertainty of their freedoms.
“It’s so sad to watch our new Government slowly dismantling all the Freedoms we have been fighting for and WON over the years. Don’t give up the Fight!” Madonna wrote on X, the microblogging platform formerly known as Twitter.
Madonna’s message comes after the divisive Trump signed an executive order titled “Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness that restricts transgender military service. The order reinstates a policy from Trump’s first term that Joe Biden rescinded in 2021, which allowed trans people to enlist in the military and serve openly.
“Transgender people are already serving in the military with honor and keeping our country and military safer and stronger,” GLAAD’s President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement. “They meet the same rigorous health and readiness standards, and continue to do so. The Trump administration’s inaccurate statements and rhetoric targeting transgender people are not based on facts.”
In his first week as president, Trump also rolled back diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility initiatives, which gave marginalized groups opportunities that they wouldn’t otherwise.
Madonna’s message also comes a day after Selena Gomez expressed her sadness and frustration over the massive deportations of undocumented immigrants.
The singer has always expressed her disdain for Trump, sharing a message on Instagram after he won the 2024 election: “Trying to get my head around why a convicted felon, rapist, bigot was chosen to lead our country because he’s good for the economy?”
It’s so sad to watch our new Government slowly dismantling all the Freedoms we have been fighting for and WON over the years. 🏳️🌈💔
