Unsuccessfully Human

Saaya and Cleopatra have been courting for 4 years now and whenever they are together it’s a sight to behold. They live in India’s Kabini forest.

They are so beautiful.

& they have children together too!

Also, fun fact: Saaya means the ‘Shadow’

They're aren't being good allies or whatever when they represent that LGBTQ community in their performances and merch, they're connecting with their own community. Early emo was a scene was a refuge for young queer kids at the time when the culture was extremely hostile to us (even more than now, believe it or not).

LGBTQ artists, particularly ones with any sort of mainstream success or public spotlight, have had their identities downplayed, hidden, or fully erased for decades.

I've fallen into that trap myself, I called Lady Gaga a performative straight ally years and years ago when Born This Way came out because I had no idea that she had been out as bi for years.

A lot of people just straight up don't know even when it comes to vocal and explicitly out artists because it is actively hidden by an industry that tries to please a mostly straight audience that are harder to sell on LGBTQ artists.

Look at the reaction to Megan Thee Stallion who is vocally out as bi, but rarely ever talked about as a prominent LGBTQ artist.

Yes! Absolutely. It's so frequently glossed over, like people collectively decide to forget that.
