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.

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

This article from bbc radio speaks on the musician Lil Naz X and his outward expansion it to territory uncharted and how it makes the way for others to do so no matter their sexuality. I believe this is a message not wide speared enough and to have it spread by BBC Radio is fantastic.

This article was very informative. I learned about some of the first gay country musicians that spaced the way for artist like LIl Nas X to be accepted today. I learned of The Sweet Violet Boys which we lead to believe recorded the first gay country song. Wilma Burgess was one of the first openly lesbian country singers back in the 1960s. She was unapologetically herself with her music, she made openly gay lyrics. The most intriguing however was Patrick Haggerty who was the lead vocalist, writer, and creator of the queer country group the Lavender Country. They were said to have created the first true queer self titled album Lavender Country. To this day the group has disbanded and regrouped countess of times only to still be touring as one of the greatest queer country music groups ever. Patrick Haggerty still being at the forefront of the group. I relate to this article because I want to be authentic like Wilma Burgess, accepted like Patrick Haggerty and bold like Lil Nas X and Orville Peck. I only aspire to be as successful as them in every aspect of the Music industry that i decide to take by storm, from songwriting to my win entertainment company. This article was not on a major informational resource for audio industry professionals. However it was a very reliable source. It also related very specifically to the LGBTQ+ role in the music industry.
