A vintage clip of country legend Dolly Parton is touching hearts again as fans express concern over her health. The 79-year-old, mourning the March death of her husband Carl Dean, has postponed Las Vegas shows and will skip the Governor Awards due to “health challenges.” In the viral clip from an old Larry King interview, Dolly says, “If you’re gay, you’re gay. If you’re straight, you’re straight. We are who we are… Why are you judging people?’ That’s God’s job. We’re not God.” Fans have called her a “national treasure,” praising her decades of LGBTQ+ advocacy—from music to public support for trans rights.
