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

Asauda's curator insight, October 16, 2021 12:21 AM

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.

Keyasha hilton's curator insight, November 26, 2021 11:23 PM
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.
