According to a Facebook post by the Tennessee Equality Project, Taylor Swift just gave a sizable donation to the cause. The organization advocates for the rights of the state's LGBTQ community, which is currently threatened by several new discriminatory bills. [One aims to define marriage as between one man and one woman; another would charge transgender citizens with indecent exposure in public restrooms.]
The $113,000 donation (!!!) was sent to TEP leader Chris Sanders, along with a handwritten note that reads:
"I’m writing you to say that I’m so inspired by the work you do, specifically in organizing the recent petition of Tennessee faith leaders standing up against the 'slate of hate' in our state legislature. Please convey my heartfelt thanks to them and accept this donation to support the work you and these leaders are doing. I’m so grateful that they’re giving all people a place to worship.
Sincerely,
Taylor Swift"
