We would be so much more free if we had the universal healthcare like every other country

The healthcare thing is such a big deal, it’s so important to our ability to push back. But I completely understand the dilemma you’re talking about

Here is my favorite quote from the article you posted:  There is something deeply ironic about performers having to justify themselves right before singing a song about not hiding anymore.

Here’s the video. You will see a little bit of the scene first, before they talk to the audience. https://youtu.be/F3aVe1P1RL0

I’m glad it’s making national news, and this kind of thing can’t stand as long as we keep pushing back so kudos

I forgot a couple of things. Number one, breaking the fourth wall means talking directly to the audience. Number two, Parker arts is technically a government building. Number three, according to my friend who was working last weekend, every time the pride flags came out, children in the audience absolutely went insane for them!! She’s saw so many kids seeing themselves being represented on that stage, so this is honestly just disgusting.
