At the 2017 Emmy Awards, Dolly was reunited with her co-stars from the 1980 hit comedy Nine to Five. It was nine months into the Trump administration, and two of the presenters weren’t about to let you forget it. Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda let loose mini-screeds against Trump. Dolly looks uncomfortable, then defuses the awkwardness by making a joke about the size of her breasts. And the podcasters want to know—they need to know—why Dolly didn’t attack Trump along with her co-stars and friends. Doesn’t she hate the guy? (Translation: Please tell us you hate the guy!) For the first time in the podcast, Dolly seems confused. She doesn’t hate Donald Trump. She prays for Donald Trump.
And if the podcast producers thought they were frustrated by her refusal to be a feminist or an LGBTQ activist, they’re stopped cold by this admission. Dolly prays for Trump, by which she means, she’s not praying that he wins reelection or lowers his handicap. She prays that God will grant him wisdom and foresight and guide him as he leads the nation. Praying for the president—any president, every president—is actually part of the official liturgy of the Episcopalian church. But this is problematic for Dolly’s interviewers, for whom basic religious faith seems weird and baffling. They keep asking How does she do it? And she keeps answering them By writing songs that are emotionally true and not being a political activist and praying for God’s guidance. And they just don’t hear it. Can’t be that. Gotta be something else.

I admit that I prayed for Biden when he was pretending to be President. It was very begrudgingly but God didn’t command us to only pray for the leaders we voted for.
Just like Micheal Jordan is knows Republicans also buy sneakers, Dolly also realized she’s well liked by many Republicans.
10 times Dolly Parton cemented her status as an LGBTQ+ icon
The country music legend demonstrated her allyship and love for her LGBTQ+ fans for decades
“ Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda ”=TRASH
Dolly really enjoyed what she was doing……sang almost right up to her check out day.
Don’t care.
You don’t care that LGBTQ movement is taking away rights of Christians and cutting off body parts of little kids?
they were frustrated by her refusal to be a feminist or an LGBTQ activist—
Actually she was a vocal proponent of LGBTQ. Nor did she care about the one million abortions a year. She was woke.
-—10 times Dolly Parton cemented her status as an LGBTQ+ icon

Exactly.
True.
Dolly Parton was an American legend and a national treasure, which is what Lily Tomlin and Hanoi Jane Fonda (especially Fonda) will NEVER be.
Yes. Dolly went pretty woke about 20 years ago, IIRC.
No, drama queen, I don't care that Dolly supported gays because in her industry probably 90% of the people she worked and associated with were gay. She was supporting her friends.
She was actually a Christian herself and I don't know but I'd bet she was against transing kids.
Don't hurt yourself when you get down from that high horse.
Hallelujah, Dolly Parton!
You are getting old here.
Empire State lit up with flashing bulbs and pink colors for Dolly tonight.
