Jennifer Holliday Says LGBT Community Fed Me When Others Would Not

Appearing on AM Joy, host Joy Reid asked Holliday what was it about the LGBT response that persuaded her to cancel, as opposed to arguments from other groups, such as African-Americans.

“All the tweets that I read from the African-American community were directed directly at me,” Holliday answered. “The tweets from the gay community took the issues and did not call me names. Also they have been a faithful community since Dreamgirls to me, and fed me even when the church people didn't feed me.”
