Taylor Swift jumped back into the political arena with a bang on Friday. The “Shake It Off” singer knocked President Donald Trump’s stance on LGBTQ issues as she launched a campaign aimed at convincing senators to support the Equality Act. In a note on Twitter celebrating Pride Month, which starts Saturday, Swift acknowledged that while there was “so much to celebrate, we also have a great distance to go before everyone in this country is truly treated equally.”The House’s recent passing of the Equality Act — to protect LGBTQ people from discrimination at work, home and school — was “excellent news,” she wrote. But it still has to come before the Senate. So, Swift called on her fans to ask their senators to support the act ― and share their messages on social media with the #lettertomysenator hashtag.
