LGBTQ pop singer declines White House invitation to Pride event: «We seek … freedom for all»

Pop singer Chappell Roan, a member of the LGBTQ+ community, revealed on Sunday that she declined an invitation to perform at a Pride event held at the White House.

Chappell Roan, also known as Kayleigh Amstutz, made this announcement during her performance at the Gov Ball Music Festival in New York City, where she dedicated her song «My Kink Is Karma» to the White House.
