BILLIE EILISH EXPLAS MEANG BEHD NEW SGLE ‘WISH YOU WERE GAY’

Pri, formerly known as Gay Pri, is a regnn of LGBTQ inty, affirmatn of equal rights, and celebratn of visibily, digny, and diversy the LGBTQ muny.

While the word homosexual is still ocsnally ed some ntexts, you might have noticed that don’t make an appearance any versn of the LGBTQ acronym.

As our age note on the term stat, “up until 1973, homosexualy was listed The Diagnostic and Statistil Manual of Mental Disorrs (DSM), psychiatry’s standard reference on the classifitn of mental illns.

WHE PAG LISTG FOR BILLY GAY

” In fact, the term homosexual was liberately rejected by early gay rights activists bee, acrdg to The New York Tim, “they did not want to be intified as exclively sexual begs. Gay, on the other hand, n be ed to scribe a person of any genr who experienc same-sex attractn, although is most often ed to scribe a man who is attracted to men.

On June 28, 1969, the New York Cy police raid the Stonewall Inn, a bar equented by gay and genr-nonnformg people (at a time when terms like LGBTQ didn’t yet exist).

They attempted to arrt the gay and trans bar patrons, which started a seri of protts agast the police.

BILLIE EILISH REVEALS THE WILD TE STORY BEHD HER ‘WISH YOU WERE GAY' LYRICS

Partially rponse to Stonewall, 1970, queer activists New York Cy anized a march to Central Park wh the theme “Gay Pri. Queer lerally means “strange or odd om a nventnal viewpot, ” and by at least by the late 1800s, queer was ployed as a rogatory term for an effemate or gay man. Queer was seen as a way to refer to gays and lbians whout beg genr-sentialist or g divisns wh the muny.

WHAT DO ‘DON’T SAY GAY’ ACTUALLY SAY?

Billie Eilish‘s new sgle ‘Wish You Were Gay‘ might prompt some qutns about the story behd the track’s strikg tle and lyrics, but the risg star has already spoken about the eper meang behd the track.

“I wrote this song about a guy that really was not terted me and ma me feel horrible, so the song is lled ‘Wish You Were Gay’, ” she says the vio. It don’t mean that I wish he was like… lerally means I wish he was gay so that he didn’t like me for an actual reason, stead of the fact that he didn’t like me.

This is a great example of takg off a mask when you’re queer, and uld easily be ditn that Billy’s gay rather than bisexual, but nothg should be led out. Although, given that Billy di at the end of Season 3, maybe ’s better that his queerns wasn’t labeled; wrers are all too eager to bury their gays. The way Billy ntu to act and rebel agast his dad, as well as the overblown machismo he acts out wh, uld possibly be him overpensatg for reprsed homosexualy.
