Beyonce and Lizzo Cut Out Abusive Language

19/08/2022

Pink News reports that Beyonce’s new album, “Rennaissance” is already a hit with many LGBTQIA listeners, as it includes a tribute to her gay uncle and to gay, trans and nonbinary artists amongst many others. In addition, Beyonce earned praise after following Lizzo in removing a word from the issued recordings that is described by disabled activists as a slur and encourages isolating and mocking. Lizzo removed the word two weeks ago from her single “Grrrls” and announced on Twitter that she was pleased to do so. Lizzo noted “I never want to promote derogatory language. As a fat, black woman in America, I’ve had many hurtful words used against me …. As an influential artist I’m dedicated to  being part of the change I want to see in the world”.
