PR Firm Drops Jason Aldean Because Wife Spoke Out Against Child Gender Affirming Surgeries

Jason Aldean responded that he, too, appreciated the decision:

The music industry allows artists to advocate for children to undergo painful sex change surgeries but does not allow artists to warn of the physical and mental effects of the procedures.
Let that be a warning to fellow country stars Dierks Bentley, Rascal Flatts, Thomas Rhett, Lady A, and Brett Young, all of whom remain in business with the PR firm.
