America rarely, if ever, agrees on anything.
It’s a country fragmented by more or less everything – politics, religion, economics, among many, many others.
But if there is one thing America can agree on, it’s Dolly Parton.
The country star has throughout her decades-long career as a professional angel written critically-acclaimed songs on the same day (“I Will Always Love You” and “Jolene”), had theme parks built in her image and became our pandemic saviour by partly funding a coronavirus vaccine.
She’s a busy woman, no doubt, but being an LGBT+ ally is a full-time job for the living legend. To celebrate her 75th birthday (19 January), here are six times Parton proved she is a patron saint of queer allyship.
