“RH” IS TROYE SIVAN AT HIS GAYT, SWEATIT, AND MOST INTIMATE. HE TELLS VOGUE ALL ABOUT HIS NEW SGLE AND UPG ALBUM
* the rush gay *
Ined, his ovre reads like a gay g-of-age story: there are the nods to boyhood and g out the trilogy of Blue Neighborhood mic vios; reflectns on the nocence of early sexual experienc “Seventeen” and “Bloom”; he pots to the body-image challeng of existg as a gay man “STUD”; to heartbreak “The Good Si” and the ache for love of “Angel Baby”; and now the wds of liberatn, sexual eedom, and nfince “Rh.
” There’s also his film work, as the angsty gay teenager Boy Erased, or the high schooler who fds out he’s been exposed to HIV Three Months. Judgg by “Rh, ” wh s betifully grty Gordon von Steer-directed mic vio (cludg an already Twter-viral keg stand and Sivan dancg around a jockstrap), he may very well be up celebrate the release of “Rh, ” and the announcement of his third stud album, Vogue spoke to Sivan about gayns, partyg, queer muny, and the importance of mic vios.
FROM TROYE SIVAN TO PADAM PADAM: ATRALIA IS S GAY ERA AND THE WORLD SHOULD THANK
Photo: Stuart Weff / Courty of Universal Mic GroupVogue: I have to start by askg about the name of the song, which many of on the gay rner of the ter are assumg is a reference to poppers, given the well-known brand also named Sivan: I mean, sure. Sure, I’m gay and I’m sgg about sex, but ’s not like I’m tryg to make a Pri anthem. We n be gay after the month of June.
Some gays weren’t feelg the ‘Rh’ after watchg the vio for Troye Sivan’s new song — and the Atralian pop star says he now unrstands why. Last week, Sivan marked his anticipated mil eback wh the release of sexy, gay, o-to-poppers earworm “Rh, ” and wh arrived a horny, gloryhole-featurg vio that had some queer people divid over the body diversy (or lack thereof) wh .
Some, cludg the homosexual journalist wrg this story, cricized Sivan for optg for exclively skny, mostly whe men his visual.

And as I tweeted after watchg the visual for the first time, seemed to ph the WeHo gay-endorsed narrative of “how whe gays choose to view queer people as a whole … jt whe twks and chiseled bodi. Charli XCX — Sivan’s “1999” llaborator and gay-man godss — shared her own thoughts on the nversatn, scribg gays’ ask for body diversy art as “borg disurse.
It’s tertg that twks and f bodi are viewed as “mon athetics” to Charli, and fat or non-skny gays are not though.

A Gordon von Steer-directed mic vio dropped alongsi the song, settg the ter ablaze for s heady pictn of a sticky, sexy, very gay summer. His srlet templ suggt he’s eher taken a big ol’ huff of the poppers his song oh-so-cleverly referenc, or he’s the thro of homosexual exultatn (anal).

The image remds of the work of Peter Hujar, specifilly Orgasmic Man, 1969, a photo that was recently repurposed for the ver of another gay cultural artefact, the Hanya Yanagihara novel A Ltle Life. The mic vio for “Rh” is a gay men’s mag e to life, as if Andy om Toy Story kept a stack of XY the rner over Woody and Buzz. A reference to the XY chromosome found blogil mal (a tad sentialist, but we move) XY magaze was a youth-foced gay magaze found Wt Hollywood 1996, and featured chiselled lads edorials full of brash, primary lours.
It’s homoerotic and ’s goofball-d, like sports fans who get dnk at the Euros and ci to moon and slap their iends’ bums until the blood vsels burst at the surface. It’s got all the trappgs of a Caravagg patg – the drama, the dynamism, light and sha, pretty gay boys.
