Irish musician Hozier has long been a fierce and vocal defender of the LGBTQ+ community and has a message to anyone targeting trans people. Recently there has been a marked rise in hostility towards the trans community – something the Take Me To Church singer has noticed. Speaking to Metro ahead of the release of new album Unreal Unearth, the acclaimed lyricist described the wave of transphobia as a distraction from the serious issues affecting the world. He said, “At a time where there are already huge, huge questions to be asked about how our society is functioning and what we want out of an economy that really isn’t working for everyday folks … there are media companies who love picking soft targets.” He called the scapegoating of tiny minorities the oldest trick in the book.
