For nearly a year, I've worked on this piece about growing up evangelical and gay.

As the U.S. debates Christian nationalism, church, and LGBTQ rights, I'm proud (and anxious) to share my story. Church nearly killed me and this is how I survived. https://t.co/v5FoVUChi5

I can’t help but feel like that the undertone of this is that Kraft sees this as a pissing match about money and not a moral imperative.

I don’t care what the “statement” says about the timing.

[Pop Base @PopBase]

Robert Kraft announces he and Ed Sheeran are donating $2 million each to “aid in the region to fight this humanitarian crisis” following Macklemore’s donation to Palestinians:

“Earlier today, before Macklemore challenged me to match his donation, Ed called me and asked me to commit $2 million to match his donation to aid in the region to fight this humanitarian crisis. Ed now plans to reach out to other venue owners and our goal is to continue to work together to build bridges.”

[Pop Crave @PopCrave]

Ed Sheeran reportedly told Macklemore that the words “Free Palestine” and the image of the Palestinian flag “hurt” many of the people he spoke with, adding that he doesn’t “take sides.”
