Especially heinous when act has released an LGBT-themed album, received numerous plaudits including GLAAD Vanguard Award, and then sends her fans into a homophobic hellzone.You COULD argue that there is a stark difference between performing there (to people who are denied their rights) vs actively promoting it as a tourist destination.

I'd be surprised if there are ANY sports that aren't tarnished in one way or anotherSportswashing is definitely not new and is actively in bed with the populist movement. Even if not directly, they’re regularly funding corrupt governments.

I'm not one to talk with what I do/who I do work for, but I'm also not a multi-millionaire.
