Troye Sivan and the Fear of Queer Celebration

[@Ray-sj8et]

It just feels so sick that people in this time still judge talent on basis of someone's orientation. Its just insane. Troye is talented and is making people comfortable with his music . Period.

[@Cassie-vq3tf]

100% agree. I have friends who listen to his music but would never go to his concert bc he is gay and are worried about what ppl will assume about them. It is a lot safer to openly support sexually ambiguous artists especially when the general public likes them like conan/harry. Another problem is a lack of support from the lgbt community towards lgbt artists, a lot of the backlash troye got was from fellow gays... it’s sad to see especially since troye does not only openly celebrate who he is in his music but also does a lot to give back to the community whether it be working with lgbt charities/organizations or spreading awareness about issues like conversion therapy. And as far as calling his music boring, it may be a matter of opinion but in what ways he is not offering what more famous mainstream pop stars are specifically other males?? His work is well liked by critics and he receives a lot of praise from his peers in the industry so i dont think the music is the issue.

12:18 I heard this two years late. But thank you for putting this out there. I am a married woman with a teenage kid and I love troye’s songs. But most of the time I am discouraged from playing them out loud for the exact same reason you discussed here. I’ve always felt like people around me are trying to shame me because I love this person’s music. I hope someday I could play it as freely as everyone else does with their favourite music. [ but I do try to flaunt it as much as I can. I think my kid understanding that ‘sexuality alone does not define a person and it’s ok to be whoever you are’ is more important than watching older generation squirming in their seats. I am trying to make a better world for my child in my own small ways.

this deserves more views holy shit

[@grizzlier3990]

Plz make the video bout ships of real people cause it’s a really important to make awareness of how awkward and toxic it can be for the friends or group that are being shipped

[@ores4686]

[@melonbubbly]

Great video, I didn't know he got he attacked for that interview. This is pretty crazy stuff

[@wolfy7592]

you deserve so much more reach! Cant wait to watch your channel grow

[@bubblegumbxtch9544]

this video is absolutely amazing how does it not have more views!? every point is presented so coherently and explained so well.

[@feelingfreaky409]

Why the fuck are there so little views?? This deserves billions, based on the thorough research, editing and professionalism put into this vid..

[@strangersbyethelcain]

too little views omg!! it's surreal watching this video after the release of something tgeo

[@kathxclarke]

thanks for watching ! Fr the public reaction to Troyes new era has been sooooo exciting to see ! We love progress ✨

[@halfrance7184]

great video ! I hadn't heard of that Troye Sivan interview or the backlash to it, and honestly it kinda baffles me that people got angry at him. His quote seemed like a perfectly reasonable thought to me. Anyways, I liked your analysis :-)

[@redstarrjackson115]

Love this ur so right I have watched other videos where they say Troye Sivan is complaining about why his music should b doing better they was chatting shit Troye is right in what he says about how LGBTQ music peeps they r not given the same treatment and when they talk about it they r treated like they r complaining but they r not they r just asking why they r not treated the same like every 1 else thank u 4 this video ♥️

[@ansonpang]

thanks

[@juliette_lummm]

It's difficult to figure it out cause there's also the music component. But the world is truly not queer friendly yet, and it has repercussions in the music industry too for sure. Although, what about Little Nas X and Girl in Red?

[@sohnaminta.9264]

If lil Nas had came out if the gate with cmbyn he wouldn't be where he is today I don't think

[@juliette_lummm]

@@sohnaminta.9264 you're probably right, but I think Montero blew up even more, but maybe I got it wrong.

[@aishymoo5]

Girl In red isn’t exactly mainstream, breaking charts

[@nightfuryrevenge1825]

I completely agree with you, if you make a follow up to this could you talk about Lil Nas X?

[@rebekahparenzee775]

Wow, love, love, love this.

[@grizzlier3990]

I didn’t knew “queer” was a bad word :0

[@EczemaQueen]

Great job

[@willpeter7811]

Troye is definitely not successful for being gay. He's successful for his art. I'm not a fan of him, and I can see this.

[@meahdahlgren5875]

I think troye sivan moved on from fame

[@beatricetellier6838]
