Remember when Lil Nas X beautifully explored his sexuality, seduced and killed the devil to the banger of all time, and instead of cheering on this openly gay and proud Black artist for his artistry and fighting back against respectability politics, suddenly said respectability politics was all the Queerest Place on the Internet cared about? Hm. Wonder what happened there.
Anyway I miss him and hope he's doing better with his mental health 🙏🏾
Like say what you want about "bad queer representation", but this was the song that made me openly and happily accept that I was bisexual. To see him up there Black and beautiful, making music that I love, absolutely killing it? Yeah. You couldn't tell me shit. This man made me proud to be out. "This will make them think we're evil for being gay" hey newsflash dawg-
Ok but it's so weird how little act like he did this and fell off the face of the earth, when he continued putting out single since they album. He's even released a while EP since then and seems to be in the middle of an album cycle right now. Like he's still doing music, and his recent stuff is still pretty good. Like am the comments and reblogs are acting like he just disappeared the moment the Montero album released.. HE STILL EXISTS. YOU CAN STILL LISTEN TO HIM. His last release wasn't even all that long ago.
