Charlize Theron Speaks Out Against "Incredibly Stupid" Anti-Drag, Anti-Trans Laws

One of the biggest performers at the "Love Rising" benefit was Hozier. "As you know, I don't hail from here in Tennessee, I'm from Ireland," he said. "But the (Irish) revolutionary James Connolly once said that no revolutionary movement is complete without its political expression. And I feel just for me, there's so many elements of queer culture that are at times no less than revolutionary. In a time of political repression and suppression and artificially generated fear-mongering and scapegoating, I feel that just telling the truth of who you are and being who you are and standing up for that and expressing that is a very revolutionary act and a necessary act."
