Lucy Dacus, the queer star of boygenius, is responding to recent anti-LGBTQ+ legislation signed by Donald Trump by donating $10,000 to trans individuals' GoFundMe pages for gender-affirming care. Announcing her initiative on social media, Dacus expressed her belief that individuals must take action in the face of government inaction. Many fans have applauded her for leveraging her privilege to support marginalized communities, suggesting that such acts can inspire deeper emotional connections between artists and their audience. Trump's executive orders, which threaten the identification of non-binary individuals, have received widespread criticism from LGBTQ+ activists.
The government will never be the source of our validation or protection, we have to do it ourselves.
Looking up to artists, and having artists you love have the same values as you and use their privilege and money to help their community, will always make me emotional.
