She said she wants the CCM industry to crumble - Christian Contemporary Music. If you’re not familiar it’s a very big niche, but essentially they imitate whatever music is popular but make a Christian version of it. And because for some people they’ll only listen to Christian music, it’s a captive audience.
She is contrasting being gay as a sin with profiting on “faith and vulnerability”. Nothing to do with “music is bad.”
Emphasis mine.
“Because this is a man whose entire faith identity is built upon a faulty structure of self-hatred, to please a system that would rather cover up abhorrent behaviour for 20+ years (and make money off of it) rather than accept that being gay is not the problem,” Williams wrote, giving her perspective of having grown up around faith-based music communities in the Nashville area.
“I grew up around this. I am not afraid of any of these people — most of them have written me off anyway by now. How many stories like this from this VERY small corner of the music industry will we hear before we realize that capitalizing on people’s faith and vulnerability is the ‘sin.’”
She’s talking about the industry, not the music. It is a bit of a weird article though, misspelling Tait’s name in the subtitle and missing a word further down (“published a lengthy article said to be the result of a two and a half investigation into Tait”). I thought rolling stone usually didn’t make those kinds of editing mistakes!
The title says “Christian Music Industry”, in the article she is quoted as saying “I hope the CCM industry crumbles”. I believe it is pretty clear that she’s talking about the industry.
Crazy logic. She thinks that “music is bad”? Not people but the music genre?

That’s not what she was saying. But also, Christian music is pretty garbage.
After reading it, I think she means that some of this wouldn’t have happened if many Christians weren’t so hostile to LGBT+ people.
There’s definitely some crazy logic in this comment, but it isn’t coming from Hayley Williams.
Don’t know where you’re getting that from the article??

Well, maybe you’re right. That nuance wasn’t obvious to me.
