In this personal episode, we're joined by Get The Belt Podcast's Myles Hart! We explore the intersection of music, identity, and visibility within the LGBTQ+ community. From queer representation in music videos in the early 2000s—to the realities of growing up without seeing ourselves reflected in the songs we loved, this conversation is both a reflection and a celebration. In the conversation we discuss Pronouns in lyrics, freedom in Femininity and the backlash against queer men in music that come out. We talk candidly about the experience of being sheltered in religious spaces, hiding queerness in church pews and behind praise music, and the double-edged sword of fan pressure on queer artists to “come out” on public stages before they’re ready. We also shine a spotlight on the events and spaces that uplift and celebrate Black queer music and culture—where freedom, rhythm, and identity converge. Follow us on the socials!
