Lil Nas X Talks UGG Pride Campaign and New Song, “Sun Goes Down”

Lil Nas X Talks UGG Pride Campaign and New Song, “Sun Goes Down” | LGBTQ+ Movies, Theatre, FIlm & Music | Scoop.it

When Lil Nas X released his chart-topping March hit “Montero (Call Me by Your Name),” he penned a letter to his younger self. “I know we promised to never come out publicly,” he wrote on Instagram. “I know we promised to never be ‘that’ type of gay person, I know we promised to die with the secret, but this will open doors for many other queer people to simply exist.”

in my opinion this is inspiring he's  taking a-lot of the punches for gay people in the future to be them selves and-not get punched as much 

 

bing that. msn is a regular new channel I would say th are reliable in the context of sharing with the world whats going on politically in an urban since. 

I dont believe that msn is a major source specifically for the studio music industry

Lil Nas X: ‘I 100% want to represent the LGBT community’

Lil Nas X: ‘I 100% want to represent the LGBT community’ | LGBTQ+ Movies, Theatre, FIlm & Music | Scoop.it

He planned to hide his sexuality before his cowboy hit Old Town Road made him a superstar at 19. Now the rapper is ready to embrace life as a queer figurehead

I'm very glad that Lil Nas X decided to come out to the world because it gives people like him, especially his fans, someone they can relate to and help them feel more accepted to the world.

Lil nas X is a big time superstar, so for him to be fully open with his fans and the world is a big deal and game changer for the music industry.

I enjoyed this article, I related to Lil Nas X in a lot of ways. I think growing up deep down I always liked girls. I tried doing the straight thing and I did like boys, but things never really clicked between us. They always felt like I was too boyish or one of them. So coming out later on in life was kind of harder because everyone already has assumed that I would grow up lesbian. I mean in a sense they were right I guess, lol. Like Nas X, I contemplated even being my true self and being gay anyway. When finally coming out my parents kind of treated me like I had some kind of disease or something. I couldn’t sleep or get dressed around my little cousins or friends. It kind of put me in a dark place and had me scared to be myself and embrace the person I was created as. Fast forward to now, I am openly gay and dress how I feel most comfortable, as a boy. Music is my life and my therapy. So in a sense I eventually have to come out again when I enter the music industry as a multi-hyphenated music producer and artist. And that is the scary part. Having to be vulnerable all over again and this time to millions of people. But I’m getting better at excepting who I am, so they have no choice but to except me as well.  And like Nas X “I want to 100% represent the LGBTQ+ community”. This article was not from one of the major music websites like Billboard.com. However it was very resourceful information. It also related to the scoop it as a whole with being from the LGBTQ+ community and in the music industry as well.
