Madonna is done biting her tongue. The Queen of Pop has once again slammed Donald Trump for his relentless attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, specifically his anti-trans executive orders. In a fiery Instagram story, she didn’t hold back, calling out the former president’s administration for fostering a “lynch mob mentality” against marginalized groups.
Since returning to power, Trump, now 78, has wasted no time reinstating and expanding policies that roll back trans rights—banning trans people from serving in the military, gutting diversity programs, and fueling baseless culture-war hysteria. But Madonna, an unwavering ally to the LGBTQ+ community, is making it clear she won’t sit by quietly.
“How can we know what it feels like? Have we walked in their shoes?” she wrote. “The excitement people get from watching others be silenced, blacklisted, or torn down—it’s disturbing.” The Vogue singer slammed those who seem to revel in watching trans people fight for their basic rights, calling it nothing short of a “sin.”
Her comments came days after Trump, in a speech before Congress, doubled down on his latest absurd claim—that the Biden administration spent millions of dollars trying to make “transgender mice.” While reality and facts never seem to get in Trump’s way, multiple sources have debunked the claim. In truth, the referenced studies were focused on hormone research related to human health, not some secret mouse transition project.
Madonna has long been a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, but in today’s political climate, where anti-trans rhetoric is not just tolerated but weaponized, her words carry even more weight. As a cultural icon who has supported the community for decades, she knows the stakes. And for those thinking the fight is over, she had one simple message: “Don’t give up.”
In an era where queer rights are under siege, Madonna’s unwavering support is a reminder that the LGBTQ+ community is far from alone. The question now is—who else in the entertainment industry will step up and call out this dangerous, targeted discrimination?
