Lil Nas X and Owning My Sexuality
Description
It’s all about Lil Nas X, Owning My Sexuality, and Reclaiming Queerness!
Song of the Show:
- In this week, we’re spinning the block on Lil Nas X’s song C7osure! This track, along with others on project 7, takes the fans on a more personal journey through the artist’s life. By having early career features with Billy Ray Cyrus, Cardi B, and Travis Barker, the Atlanta-born musician has already set the tone to be one of the greats.
Featured Story:
- With Maxwell, we find out how the character finds their autonomy. Through personal reflection, watching Queer representation in movies/films such as Love, Victor, reading books by Queer authors such as E. Lynn Harris, thoughtful conversations, and even uplifting the fallen, we learn so much about these real-life moments.
- The journey is never easy, but these stories are here to show others that they are not alone in their intersectional experiences. We hope to continue fostering a deeper sense of belonging and spreading more love with each story.
