AD OF THE DAY: INHERENT GAY TIM AD AFFIRMS IMPORTANCE OF T LGBT+

” The Amerin sger-songwrer is full of passn and praise for pop culture’s latt queer superstar, mendg him for fg a succsful and uful mic reer as an openly gay man. When you have an openly gay man like Lil Nas X fully embracg his sexualy his mic and visuals and ’s the biggt h the world, you know thgs are headg the right directn. We have straight artists creatg this type of entertament and we’ve grown acctomed to over the past 25 years, but when me to gay artists we had to tone down, or make sure that wasn’t too sexualised, or aggrsive, and had to be safe and easy to digt.

There was always an accepted level of gay and you uldn’t challenge ‘tradnal valu’ too much, so I love the fact Lil Nas X has torn that down. ’ To me, what was for the longt time was ‘I n intify as gay, but I n’t show . As a gay person, ’s really nice to seek out and take the iative to learn about .

The gay person was the joke or the victim. The gay rights movement was started by Black trans women and Latx trans women, and we need to celebrate that.
