“I’m proud to rep Houston, but I’m not proud to rep Texas politics right now,” Lizzo said during a keynote conversation at South By Southwest. “Mind your business,” she added. “Trans rights are human rights.”
slammed new Texas laws and policies that restrict access to abortion and target trans children and their families during a keynote conversation at South By Southwest on Sunday. The pop star, who grew up in Houston, said the controversial moves unfairly target women and the LGBTQ community.
“The abortion ban is atrocious,” Lizzo said. “Mind your business. Stay out of my body. This is not political.” “We got a lot of other things that we need,” Lizzo said, adding, “there are people in charge who can change things on a systemic level and they’re letting us down.” Lizzo came to the annual celebration of music, movies and media in part to plug her new unscripted reality competition series, “Watch Out for the Big Grrrls,” which premieres on Amazon on March 24. She also brought a message of empowerment, reminding the packed auditorium of fans to love themselves.
