    This document discusses Taylor Swift's 2019 song "You Need to Calm Down" and how it communicates support for LGBTQ+ rights. The song was released during a time when President Trump introduced anti-LGBTQ+ bills and laws, and at a time when LGBTQ+ communities still face oppression. The setting of the music video features a diverse group of LGBTQ+ characters living together in a trailer park, while the lyrics talk about struggles and acceptance. More research is needed on current issues and historical treatment affecting LGBTQ+ communities in America.

    My social justice issue is the history of LGBTQ+ rights in America.

    “You Need to Calm Down” by Taylor Swift

    Released in 2019 on the Album “You Need to Calm Down”

    President Donald Trump coming out with anti LGBTQ+ bills and laws. The long standing fight
    against rights for the LGBTQA community.

    You Need to Calm Down communicates the oppression of these LGBTQ+ people. She talks
    about everyone needing to either mind their own business or to be accepting.

    Elements that stand out to get the message across: Setting, Character, Lyric.

    How do the elements communicate the message? Setting: colors, trailer park, all neighbors,
    togetherness. Character: all the different faces of the LGBTQ+ community. Lyric: talking about
    their struggles or how to go about the situation.

    What is more research I need to do? I need to do more current research on what is going on in
    the world. Backlash on the community in American history. President's comments and bills
    passed or not passed that benefit or do not benefit the community.
