Lily Allen refuses to apologise for 'homophobic' tweet after saying "Fags hate Trump"

The singer was quoting a placard held up by a protester 
in her video

Lily Allen has been slammed by members of the 

LGBTI community after she tweeted about her new

 anti- Donald Trump video.

The Smile singer was met with backlash when she 

quoted a tweet from Gay Times about her video, adding

 the comment "Fags hate Trump".

Lily was referencing a placard that bears the slogan 

which is held up by a protester in her video, a cover of

 Rufus Wainwright's Going To A Town, but some people

 were offended by her use of the word.

Lily filmed the black and white music video at the

 Women's March in London, one of many events 

organised against the 45th President of the United 

States.

It features hundreds of protesters marching with 

signs, bearing slogans like, 'No to racism no to

 Trump',  ' Brexit and Trump sound the alarm', and 

'Fags hate Trump'.

The lyrics to the song send a strong message too,

 with lines like 'I'm so tired of America' and 'Tell me, 

do you really think you go to hell for having loved?'

But after Lily shared her tweet, a few people hit back at her.

One wrote: "please don't refer to us as FAGS, we are

lesbian,gay,bisexual,transgender if anyone has to

 be labeled."

Another posted: "and this "fag" hates you, love."

Another person asked: "it's on the picture!!! Would you

 call a black man a nigger, because others do? No 

you wouldn't, don't call us. OK?"

Others hit back at the singer, saying that just because

 they weren't heterosexual, didn't mean they

 hated the President.

"I'm gay and voted for Trump," wrote one person.

Another posted: "Look SillyAllen, I'm trans and I still

 love Trump! Hes a man with balls,will do a good job.Period!!"

However, others jumped to her defence, saying she 

was simple quoting a poster.

One person wrote: "it's on the poster on the picture".

Another said: "Placard is held by gay person who's using

 the word fags in a positive, affirming way, as gesture 

of pride & defiance".

Despite the backlash, Lily has not deleted the tweet.
