First of all. I take issue with them blaming her for something her boyfriend said. We cannot control the men we are with. However, I can see the problem with staying after seeing homophobic and racist statements.

Secondly, being gay is not about sex, it's about love. So, I'm not sure if it makes sense to condemn her for flirting with women. Also, none of us know if she has ever had sex with a woman because it's her business and she hasn't claimed she did. She never lied about who she was.

I'm not a fan of her music so cancelling her is impossible for a nonfan like me. That being said, I think we need more nuance

Her boyfriend was wrong

Billie's morally flawed if she stays with him knowing this.

The community is wrong for shaming her for flirting with girls.
