Madonna has added Nashville, Tennessee, as a location in her “Celebration Tour” and will reportedly donate the proceeds from the event to trans rights groups.
The singer chose Nashville as a location due to Tennessee laws that bans “gender-affirming care” for minors and limits drag shows.
Madonna claimed the laws make “America a dangerous place for our most vulnerable citizens, especially trans women of color.”
From The Blaze:
The new drag show law in Tennessee that has Madonna so enraged does not explicitly refer to "drag," though it does forbid "adult cabaret entertainment" and "male and female impersonators" on public property and in locations where children are present. Such shows must be held at least 1,000 feet from schools, houses of worship, and public parks. Violators of this law will face a misdemeanor charge for the first offense and a felony for repeat offenses. Another new Tennessee law prohibits medical professionals from treating a minor's biological sex like a disease. Doctors may not prescribe puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones or perform surgery to alter a child's genitals.
