Morgan will donate half of his “X Factor” coaching fee for children who are rejected by their families because they are gay. The singer himself announced this on Instagram after a media and social storm broke out around him following the events during the concert dedicated to Franco Battiato at the Archaeological Park of Selinunte, during which the singer attacked a group of spectators, who started insulting her. also with homophobic phrases,
The singer then returns to apologize to his fansmany of whom asked that he be banned from The I definitely don’t want to hide To justify myself, and I want to emphasize once again how wrong what I said was – he writes – I want my apology to be sincere, heartfelt, clear and reach everyone, because I know I have hurt so many people And my colleagues from “X-Factor” and the entire team working on it know it too.”
“The sentence I said – admits Morgan – is the furthest from my identity as a human being, I want to repeat it. Everyone knows I’m not a homophobe, but that’s not enough, does not excuse, does not justify. In fact, it is not enough to say that racist, homophobic or sexist expressions are used carelessly, well beyond actual beliefs and intentions.
For Morgan, “we need to change this culture and lexicon that subconsciously persists in the language of many, and unfortunately, to my surprise and regret even then,” he continues on Instagram, “I willingly endure the public stigmatization of what is happening is and.” I accept the media pillory if it can at least partially change something. I made a mistake for which I apologized, but to be clear: I do not want to erase it, but to make a concrete gesture that does not make it disappear, but transforms it into something positive and useful.”
“I’ve asked Fremantle and Sky – Morgan announces – to donate half my ‘X Factor’ fee to a Reception center for children who are rejected by their families of origin because of their sexual orientation, gender identity or because they have started a transition process. I’ve been thinking about the importance of welcoming and I want this concept to apply to those who make mistakes like me.
