Seth MacFarlane had the most inspired and brilliant idea when he asked Dolly Parton to appear on THE ORVILLE season 3.
She appears as a hologram, trying to convince the head of a colony not to give up.
Made us cry then, really makes us cry now.
Let’s never forget what Dolly did. She donated $1 m for Covid research, paid for all of her Dollywood employees to go to college, decreased high school drop out rates in her home county, donated books to every kid under 5 there & so much more. Let’s all be more like Dolly💗
Dolly Parton spent a heckuva lot of her time, energy, and money helping the poor, and some of her favorite people in the world were flamboyantly fabulous drag queens. Remember that when you see the MAGAs trying to co-opt her legacy right now
And when the MAGA conservatives swoop in and try to claim Dolly as one of their own, it’s imperative that you do not let them.
Dolly Parton loved everyone. Immigrants, trans people, queer people, disabled people, poor people - Dolly loved them all unconditionally.
Dolly Parton defending the LGBTQ+ community from attacks 10 years ago:
I do not believe that we should criticize and judge other people. We’re all God’s children. We are who we are. I just think that we should be more loving, more caring, we are who we are. If you’re gay, you’re gay. If you’re straight, you’re straight and you should be allowed to be who you are.
