not only do i support lil nas x appropriating characters and symbols from christianity to make horny, campy gay hip-hop videos, i think this sets the bar for lgbt media in the future. fuck that “were just like you!” respectability shit. i need all gay artists to make their work exactly as hostile and disrespectful to the christian right as the christian right has been to gay people for all of its history.
this goes for the christian “allies” who are hand-wringing over that video too. “im glad hes proud of who he is, but these images are sacred to some peoples beliefs and he needs to respect that!” no, he doesnt, and in fact if your “gay art” is palatable to homophobic christians, it is not good gay art.
