AUSTIN, Texas – Lizzo had strong opinions on Texas' legislation and policy regarding abortion and transgender children during Sunday's keynote session at the SXSW Film Festival.
Lizzo, who was raised in Houston, said she wasn't "proud to rep" the state's political laws and policies. "I’m proud to rep Houston, but I’m not proud to rep Texan politics right now," the "Truth Hurts" singer told the audience listening at the Austin Convention Center. "There are very regressive laws being passed right now." Lizzo was referencing Gov.
Greg Abbott's recent decision to label transgender medical procedures "child abuse." The governor ordered Texas Child Protective Services to investigate any reported cases, but a judge reportedly blocked the move on Friday.
