Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga’s win for the “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance” reignited the debate about LGBTQ+ rights and the suffering of trans people under Trump’s administration which has passed an executive order to remove the third gender from its policies.
“Trans people are not invisible. Trans people deserve love. The queer community deserves to be lifted up. Music is love, thank you.”
