Selena Gomez will be donating a portion of her Revival Tour profits to a LGBT organisation. The tour will start on June 7 in North Carolina. Selena made the announcement after an anti-LGBTQ law that was passed last month.
Few performers cancelled their shows because of the law, but Selena instead decided to conduct the show and donate a part of the show’s profits. The 23-year-old released a statement, “I am very fortunate to have grown up in a home where I learned from an early age that everyone should be treated equally. I went back and forth on whether I should cancel my concert in North Carolina and ultimately I think what is right for me is to move forward with my show and donate a portion of the proceeds to Equality North Carolina and their effort to defeat this act of discrimination,” she said.
She added, “I’ve been reassured the venue I will be performing in has gender neutral bathrooms as I want everyone coming to my show to be welcomed. I feel like my generation is the most progressive one yet and believe there will be a day soon when laws like HB2 won’t even be a consideration,” reported JustJared.com.
