Paramore‘s Hayley Williams has criticised two anti-LGBTQIA+ bills that have been proposed for her home state of Tennessee.Legislation was passed on Thursday (February 23) which, if signed by the governor, will make Tennessee the first state to criminalise drag shows.

The bill would make drag performances in front of children or in certain public spaces, including within 1,000 feet of a public park, school or church, illegal.

Politicians in 15 other states are reportedly pushing for similar laws to be introduced.On the same day, Tennessee House Republicans overwhelmingly passed a ban on young transgender people from receiving gender affirming healthcare, including puberty blockers, hormone therapy or surgery.

Patients currently receiving treatment would have to end it by March 2024.Williams took to Instagram to decry the legislation. “Once again our state has passed two regressive and unfathomably harmful bills,” she wrote on her Instagram story.“We stand in solidarity with our LGBTQIA+ family and local LGBTQIA+ orgs in this fight, not only for inclusion for our friends and family in the queer community, but for radical acceptance and empowerment for each of them.“Drag is not a crime.

A post shared by ANDREAS WIJK (@andreaswijk)After going viral recently for his emotional coming-out video with his parents and then commanding the spotlight on the 18th season of the Swedish television dance competition series Let’s Dance, it’s no wonder Andreas Wijk is stealing hearts everywhere.The 30-year-old Swedish singer likes to stay busy as much as he can, having walked in Stockholm’s Pride parade and attending the Swedish Gay Gala, he’s also currently in rehearsals for the stage version of Moulin Rouge in Stockholm, following Ewan McGregor in the movie in the role of Christian.Wijk has amassed over 180,000 followers on Instagram, due in part to his recently released single “if i was gay”, a song that was first teased in a clip where he played the track for his mom and dad, confirming his sexuality to both his parents and the over 200,000 people who liked the post. A post shared by ANDREAS WIJK (@andreaswijk)In the song, Andreas questions where he would fit in if he were gay and his longing to experience true romance without judgment.
