CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Billboard Magazine reports:

Lizzo is dreaming of a better future for members of the LGBTQ+ community, specifically Black trans women. During her performance at WeHo Pride‘s OUTLOUD Music Festival on Saturday, the hitmaker dedicated a soulful cover of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” to some of society’s most vulnerable members before penning a heartfelt message on Instagram.

Sharing a clip of the cover on the first day of Pride Month — one day after she took the stage in West Hollywood — Lizzo wrote, “As this month begins, let us remember there would be no pride without the Black trans women & trans women of color who fought against the systems that tried to erase them.”

“In honor of that fight we have to continue to take a stand against that very same system that threatens our rights to bodily autonomy and liberation,” she continued in her caption. “We ain’t free till we all free. I love you.”
