I've lost all my remaining brain cells reading the first paragraph alone and now I'm incapable of reading so I can't read the rest sorry

anywho i left her a message in the handwriting thread

I'd love to see her put in at least a minimal effort promoting it too (her singing to the song on her instagram doesn't count....), but you know it will never happen. Promoting her music is a concept our girl is no longer subscribing to. 

i get what you're saying but doesn't attending something regularly and repeatedly like demonstrate implicit support? and even if it didn't, the vast majority of churches solicit donations from their attendees. i sincerely doubt someone as well off as lana attends a church regularly without donating in some degree (yes that's an assumption, and i could be wrong, but i don't think it's at all improbable). hell, back when my family went to catholic church and lived off government assistance, we still donated to the church (not that i support this at all!! i was like 5 and my parents were too damn idealistic!! i think it was a stupid thing to do but my point stands!!). the very nature of living in a capitalistic society means we vote with our capital, whether we like it or not. it's the same reason people boycott companies (but imo giving money to a sketchy religious organization is even sketchier than buying something from a sketchy company, bc of churches' tax exempt status). anyway i digress, my point was that (imo) she definitely implicitly supports it by attending repeatedly, and possibly explicitly supports it via monetary contribution
 
that's all

You...you cannot be serious. This has to be a joke. A bad, drawn out joke. This has to be sarcasm I'm not getting.
 
ETA: I require financial compensation for the injuries my brain sustained after reading the rest of your post.

People not understanding things aren't black & white makes communicating so much harder. They think being racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic/etc means you want a certain group of people to suffer and die -end of story. That implicitly leads to the conclusion that not wanting said group of people to suffer and die means you can't possibly be anything but a staunch supporter of their rights. That could not be further from the truth. I don't think Lana and her Hillsong groupie friends are going over to Cha Cha Matcha to drink their tea and laugh about gays getting electrocuted. I don't think they gather to pray a plague wipes us all out. And I don't think anyone believes that. But it's glaringly obvious she is a woman who clings to every ounce of privilege she has, and wears it proudly. That's disgusting enough.

don't worry. Those church people are going to brainwash her in giving them all her money. And when she is broke she will start promoting herself again to make them coins. Circle of life and all.
Sorry can you tell I'm getting cynical.

lana is CHOOSING to go to a homophobic church. comparing it to north korean citizens is literally so different. they dont really have a choice. what i was trying to say is by lana willingly attending, shes advocating for them and ignoring their anti lgbt history, which is basically a big "fuck you" to her fans

Yeah ... being a citizen of a problematic country is, in most cases, involuntary, whereas attending a homophobic cult church is voluntary af.

People can't choose which country they're born into. Lana chooses to attend a church like Hillsong.

gonna say it again 
 
going to a church that is well known for awful practices and views means you agree with it
 
i dont care how you justify lana going to hillsong but at the end of the day it means she cares more about herself and clout than the awful views of the church. by going, she is supporting them and giving them exposure to spread hatred even more. i get shes allowed to have views, but to willingly go to a church that is known for the views they have is pretty disgusting and shows a disregard to the huge majority of her fanbase who are lgbt. there is absolutely no way in hell lana doesn't know about hillsongs views and history. that coupled with the nfr mess has made this woman a fucking joke. she probably isnt homophobic, but continuing to go to the church when there is an outcry from your fans for both news on the album and the church demonstrates her clownery 
 
anyway go stream the unproblematic miss diamandis 

this has all become a bit "i have gay friends so i can't be homophobic." 

Yeah, she might not be explicitly homophobic herself BUT SHE IS GOING TO A CHURCH THE PROMOTES ANTI GAY SHIT. That IS a problem. There’s literally nothing else that needs to be said.

I've had 'friends' that I found out were disgustingly homophobic that knew I'm bi, that would listen and nod when I talked about girls, that thought having a token LBGT friend made their vile views acceptable. It's called moral licensing. And yes, joining a homophobic church and giving money to them, or holding the view of 'hate the sin, not the sinner' is pretty homophobic, even if she isn't at westboro levels yet. I'm not looking for every opportunity to drag her down. I'm allowed to be disappointed and angry that she's openly aligning herself with churches that hold these views, no matter her own personal views, and given that one of her current friends posted that picture in that hotel and then deleted the comments reminding her of the boycott, I'm not too optimistic about her personal views tbh. I'm not here for this 'let celebrities live their life without judgement' shtick when their lives involve waving away human rights lmao.

religious LB members are REALLY out here takin this personally lmfaooooooooo

Girl, I was one of those unhinged serial killer fangirls too. I’m so glad I grew out of that shit. 
Now if only Lana learned from her experience of being in a cult and kept her distance.

That’s what therapy is for. Not a church that openly preaches homophobic beliefs, protects sexual predators and is endorsed by fellow vapid celebrities who need therapy or an intervention themselves.

Idk who it was who said it, but I heard the more bigoted you are the more it shows in your appearance. It was a joke, but... yeah. Actually, I wonder if Chuck said anything to her? And like someone on here said before, the church and her friends could also be taking her focus away from NFR. I think I’m a little surprised that her sister hasn’t said anything yet.

Bitch probably doesn't even know that it's pride month, or what pride month even is.
 
Also how come none of the tabloids are running her church pics? Even The Daily Mail and Just Jared have given up on her. I got them from the Russians but I can't find them anywhere else ...

goddamn elizabeth can't you at least give it up for pride month? is even the shallowest, most performative, least sincere solidarity too much to ask?

I think the most disappointing thing for me is that there are other artists out there being very vocal about LGBT rights, and sis is essentially doing the opposite of that by attending an openly homophobic church every week. I don't even expect her to speak out about LGBT rights (although, it'd be welcome if she did) but this is just a slap in the face.
 
I don't think anyone has a problem with her going to a church, but she seriously picked one that's a step away from fucking Scientology. The fact that it's cult-ish and she's so into it makes me question her state of mind more than anything else she's doing/not doing ... it really is concerning.
 
I can only hope a month or so away from LA around different people, etc, makes her wake the fuck up.

Yeah so why is she going then

even if she rolled up at churchome in full met gala glam i'd still put her on blast for attending

these pictures literally told me ill burn in hell for eternity

*takes you aside*.... are u okay?
