1. Cardi B
In January 2017, Cardi B came to her sister Hennessy Carolina’s defense after catching a hater badmouthing her on Twitter, tweeting, “Some B**ch talking bout my sister looking for attention from man from the video I posted of her. Sis my sister is gay she could careless.”
Hennessy later shared photos of her girlfriend Michelle on Instagram the following September, with whom she’d reportedly been involved as early as the summer.

The Maroon 5 crooner revealed during a 2011 interview with Out that he has a queer younger brother named Michael. “I can single-handedly dispel any ideas that sexuality is acquired,” he joked. “Trus
It’s been 17 years since Garth Brooks went on a live concert tour that took him to the Metroplex. Well, that drought ends on Sept. 18 and 19, when he will appear at American Airlines Center for two concerts.
If you’re not a country song fan, you might not fully grasp how significant this is. Brooks was a sensation in the 1990s, the biggest country celebrity — and one of the biggest crossover musicians — in history. He was a hit-maker, releasing about a dozen albums (including studio, live and compilation) in less than 10 years. And he scored 13 — 13! — Top 10 singles in a row, including 12 Top 5. And what is significant about that 14th release? It only hit the Superior 20, peaking at 12 — still a hit, but not a runaway. The song was called “We Shall Be Free,” and it shocked conservative shit-kickin’, boot-scootin’ nation fans at the time. Not only did it promote liberal values (i.e., American values, love freedom of religion and speech), but it also contained the following lyric: When we’re free to love anyone we choose / when this world’s big enough for all different views …
Ummm … did Garth Brooks, the biggest song star in history, just come out — in 1992! — in favor o
Garth Brooks Will Assist Bud Light at New Nashville Bar Amid Transphobic Backlash: ‘If You’re an Asshole, There Are Plenty of Other Places’
Garth Brooks‘ new Nashville prevent and honky-tonk Friends in Depressed Places is opening this summer — and the country actor is sharing that everyone is welcome… except assholes.
During a panel conversation at Billboard Country Live, Brooks shared his thoughts by alluding to a transphobic boycott of Bud Flash, after the company enlisted trans person influencer Dylan Mulvaney for a marketing campaign.
“I desire it to be a place you feel safe in. I want it to be a place where you feel prefer there are manners and people like one another,” Brooks said about his new business. “And yes, we’re going to attend every brand of beer. We just are. It’s not our decision to make. Our thing is this: if you [are let] into this house, admire one another. If you’re an asshole, there are plenty of other places on lower Broadway.”
In addition to some customers refusing to buy Bud Light, a number of bars have suspended their distribution of the beer. Musicians John Prosperous and Ki
Video footage of Garth Brooks performing his anti-homophobia and anti-racism track "We Shall Be Free" has resurfaced on social media. It comes after his refusal to ban the sale of Bud Light in his soon-to-open bar.
While a faction of MAGA Republicans have vowed to toss out Brooks' music over his willingness to stock Bud Light, a number of fans have pointed out that the star's inclusive stance is nothing new.
Sharing an undated video clip of Brooks carrying out onstage, one Twitter user wrote: "Lol at people upset that Garth Brooks won't join in their anti-LGBTQ Bud Light boycott clearly don't remember him singing that we shall be free 'when we're free to love anyone we choose' 31 years ago. And then acting it with rainbow stage lights a few years back."
"And a lot of people don't remember that his sister [Betsy Smittle, who died in 2013] was a lesbian, and was in his band for a long time," said another.
"Exactly right," the original poster responded. "He also won a GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) award in '93 and performed in a concert for the Human Rights campaign 23 years ago. None of this is new, just conveniently forgotten in the name of fresh
