BREAKING NEWS: Dolly Parton announces her refusal to celebrate Pride Month in June — she says “WOKE” doesn’t deserve to be commemorated…

In a development that has stunned both fans and critics, country music legend Dolly Parton has publicly declared that she will not be celebrating Pride Month this June — a sharp departure from her long-standing reputation as a beloved LGBTQ+ ally.

The Announcement That Sparked a Firestorm

During an interview with The Tennessee Voice this week, Dolly Parton was asked about her usual involvement in Pride Month events. Her response left many speechless:

“I love everybody, but I won’t be taking part in Pride Month this year. I think this whole ‘woke’ thing has gotten out of hand. It’s not about love and inclusion anymore — it’s become political, divisive, and performative. That’s not something I want to celebrate.”

The statement was quickly picked up by major outlets and instantly went viral across social media platforms, dividing public opinion and igniting heated debate.

A Surprising Turn for a Longtime LGBTQ+ Icon

Dolly Parton has for decades been seen as a staunch supporter of the LGBTQ+ community, often speaking out for equality, love, and inclusion. Her Dollywood theme park has hosted inclusive events, and she has consistently received praise from queer fans.

That’s why this sudden change in tone is so unexpected — and deeply polarizing.

Some believe her remarks reflect growing discontent with what critics describe as the “corporatization and politicization” of Pride Month, while others see it as a betrayal of the very values she once championed.

Reactions Pour In: Support, Shock, and Criticism

The backlash — and support — was swift:

  • LGBTQ+ advocacy groups expressed disappointment, saying her statement could embolden anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric.
  • Conservative commentators praised her “bravery” for standing up to “woke agendas.”
  • Fans on both sides of the cultural divide flooded social media with reactions ranging from heartbreak to applause.

One tweet from a former fan read:

“I grew up loving Dolly because she stood for everyone. This feels like a slap in the face.”

Meanwhile, a conservative influencer wrote:

“Finally, someone from Hollywood who isn’t afraid to speak the truth. Thank you, Dolly.”

Dolly Clarifies Her Stance

Facing growing controversy, Parton issued a follow-up statement via her publicist:

“I still love my LGBTQ+ fans. Always have, always will. But I believe Pride has lost its original message. I won’t be part of anything that feels more like a marketing campaign than a movement for real acceptance.”

What This Means Moving Forward

It’s unclear how this will affect Dolly Parton’s legacy, particularly among younger fans and LGBTQ+ audiences who have long held her in high esteem.

Industry insiders speculate this could mark a turning point in how entertainers engage with activism and identity politics, especially in an increasingly polarized cultural landscape.

Conclusion

Dolly Parton’s decision to step back from Pride Month — and her outspoken remarks on “woke culture” — signal a dramatic shift in tone from one of country music’s most cherished figures.

Whether viewed as bold honesty or disappointing regression, one thing is clear: this June, Dolly has become part of the conversation in a way no one expected.
