Not Even Dolly Parton is Not Immune from the Right-Wing Christians

In her article, "There’s Nothing Loving About Dolly Parton’s False Gospel,” Federalist writer Ericka Andersen criticized Parton for her nonjudgmental approach to life and her claim that she loves everyone — including members of the LGBTQ community.

Andersen argued that if Parton is a Christian, as she proclaims, she should call out homosexuality as a sin. “Parton’s version of love, which includes condoning immoral sexual behavior (‘be who you are,’ she’s said), is unaligned with God’s vision for humanity,” Andersen wrote.

After extensive backlash, Anderson has stated that "I regret using Dolly as the example for the point I was making in the article."

People who continue to support hierarchies and use their hierarchical religion to justify their actions will go after anyone, including the beloved Dolly Parton.
