Sam Smith sends a powerful message to their LGBTQ+ fans amid the rise of anti-trans rhetoric

Sam Smith has sent an inspiring message to their LGBTQIA+ fans amid the rise of anti-trans hate in the UK. Over the last few days, conservative politicians have ruthlessly targeted the trans and non-binary community with hateful rhetoric.
