Taylor\u00a0Bennett\u00a0is a major advocate for the LGBTQ community and homeless youth amongst other initiatives. A statement he made: I think there\u2019s a lot of people \u2014 in the music community, especially in hip-hop \u2014 that don\u2019t feel okay with being themselves, that feel like being different is to be wrong. I’ve never shared that belief. My parents, my brother, friends and anybody that I’ve ever surrounded myself with, we’ve always accepted and respected each other for who we are. That’s something that I want my music to reflect as well. (The Fader, 2017)<\/p>\n
