Elton John, em nome da sua funda\u00e7\u00e3o, ‘Elton John AIDS Foundation’, reagiu aos coment\u00e1rios pol\u00eamicos do rapper DaBaby.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Ficamos chocados ao ler sobre a desinforma\u00e7\u00e3o sobre o HIV e as declara\u00e7\u00f5es homof\u00f3bicas feitas num recente espet\u00e1culo do DaBaby. Isto alimenta o estigma e a discrimina\u00e7\u00e3o e \u00e9 o oposto do que o nosso mundo precisa para lutar contra a epidemia da AIDS”, pode ler numa publica\u00e7\u00e3o feita na p\u00e1gina de Twitter de Elton John, tendo partilhado depois alguns fatos cient\u00edficos sobre o v\u00edrus.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Como m\u00fasicos, devemos espalhar a compaix\u00e3o e amor pelas pessoas mais marginalizadas nas nossas comunidades”, destaca. “O trabalho de um m\u00fasico \u00e9 aproximar as pessoas”, afirma.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n(1\/5) We’ve been shocked to read about the HIV misinformation and homophobic statements made at a recent DaBaby show. This fuels stigma and discrimination and is the opposite of what our world needs to fight the AIDS epidemic.<\/p>\n

HIV has affected over 70 million people globally: men, women, children and the most vulnerable people in our communities.<\/p>\n

In America, a gay black man has a 50% lifetime chance of contracting HIV. Stigma and shame around HIV and homosexuality is a huge driver of this vulnerability. We need to break down the myths and judgements and not fuel these.<\/p>\n

You can live a long and healthy life with HIV. Treatment is so advanced that with one pill a day, HIV can become undetectable in your body so you can\u2019t pass it onto other people.<\/p>\n

Homophobic and HIV mistruths have no place in our society and industry and as musicians, we must spread compassion and love for the most marginalised people in our communities. <\/p>\n
A musician\u2019s job is to bring people together.<\/p>\n
