Chappell Roan Planned to Protest Instead of Perform at White House Pride Event: ‘All I Wanted to Do Was Yell’
Chappell Roan says that she planned to attend a White House Pride event in June and protest instead of performing. Get all the details.
Chappell Roan caused a stir earlier this year when she rejected the White House’s invitation for her to perform at a Pride event in June. For the latest cover of Rolling Stone, Roan told the publication that she originally intended to accept the White House’s invitation to the event — but she planned to protest the Biden administration’s involvement in Israel’s attacks on Gaza instead of performing one of her songs. The “Good Luck, Babe!” singer also dispelled a rumor that her distaste for the Biden administration’s treatment of Palestinians and trans youth meant that she was a supporter of former president Donald Trump.
