Madonna has added a few more dates to the US leg of her Celebration Tour, announcing on March 27 that she will be performing in Nashville, Tennessee.
This comes at a time when Tennessee recently passed legislation banning drag queens from performing on any property in the state.
Caldwell Tidicue, who performs as Bob The Drag Queen will be performing alongside the Material Girl in Nashville, Tennessee on December 22.
In a press release, she shared that proceeds from the concert will go to trans rights organizations.
“The oppression of the LGBTQ+ is not only unacceptable and inhumane; it’s creating an unsafe environment; it makes America a dangerous place for our most vulnerable citizens, especially trans women of color,” she said in a statement. “Also, these so-called laws to protect our children are unfounded and pathetic. Anyone with half a brain knows not to f*ck with a drag queen. Bob and I will see you from the stage in Nashville where we will celebrate the beauty that is the queer community.”

This is why I will always love Madonna. She has advocated for the queer community before it became trendy to do so, and four decades in the game she continues to walk the walk.
