Dolly Parton refused the Medal of Freedom from Trump - twice!
In an NPR story posted over the weekend, we discover that Dolly Parton turned down Donald Trump. She didn’t do it once, she turned the former president down twice in his offer of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She was scheduled to be honored for many reasons, including her funding efforts toward finding a vaccine for COVID. Thanks in part to her generous donation, the Moderna vaccine was developed.
Dolly Parton’s efforts for promising causes give us all a reason to celebrate this American icon.
Dolly Parton’s support of the LGBTQ community goes back to 1991, when she established herself as a trailblazer in public support for equality. Her podcast has become a wonder, speaking to issues like immigration, homelessness, the rights of women.
Let me live in Dolly Parton’s America. That is the America we all need.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Saw Dolly interviewed earlier this year. She’s quite an amazing person! Since she has fans that come from both sides of the political divide, she always tries to distance herself from politics. She likes the fact that people with such widely disparate points of view can all come together to her concerts and somehow unite in the music. She is an idealist, but I respect her for that.
