Too little too late? Not even an apology seemed to help Bett’es cause. In fact, it only seemed to fuel the fire. “DEAR FRIENDS ‪@HRC, WHOM I HAVE ALWAYS SUPPORTED. SORRY LAST TWEET OFFENDED. AN IDLE MUSING. I SEEM TO HAVE MISREAD THE TEMPER OF THE TIMES,” she wrote in reply.

But fans were far from forgiving. “‪@BetteMidler@HRC Transphobia was never a "temper of the times". It's always been wrong,” one reply read.
