Dolly Parton was amazing — and moderate. She made space for everyone, and made that clear over and over when both parties attempted to claim her. She stood up for my people, and probably your people too, but she also spanned beyond ideological beliefs and supported everyone — even the ones we don’t like. That’s honestly what I love about her.
I don’t believe in my mom or dad’s right wing ideologies, I hate that they are that way. But I’m still going to mourn them after I die. Let fans mourn. I don’t think most people mourning her are trying to claim she agreed with their political stance. They are mourning one of the biggest and most influential icons in the music industry. Not everything is about politics.
