The queer corner

adidasss · 08-04-2018, 10:29 PM

Did a search and nothing came up. I'm thinking it would be nice to have a space for any queer members or people who support the community to share things related to the queer/LGBTQ experience. It could be anything, from music related stuff, to any kind of rights news, stories, films, shows, whatever.

For example, this came to my attention this morning: Travis Scott Addresses Amanda Lepore’s Absence on Astroworld Cover Art

Scott's explanation for removing Lepore (whom btw I didn't know anything about and still don't beyond this issue) because she "upstaged everyone" including him, seems terribly weak, given there are 5 half naked or naked cis-women, who are much more eyecatching than Lepore. I was actually convinced at the beginning that the alternate cover was all Lapore and it didn't make the cut (in which case the explanation would make sense since the naked women really do take centre stage), only to find out later, after much comparison between the images posted by LaChapelle and Scott, that Lapore is just a small figure on the left hand side in the "alternate" cover. Strange gaffe...

Well i 100% support the community though I dont think there are any LGBTQ members here. I appreciate the well-intentioned thread whether there is or isnt

You're looking at one...

And if my memory serves me well, I think wolverine might be bi? Or I got it mixed up. In any case, there have been more than one, and I'm sure that's still the case, whether that's talked about a lot or not.

You can ask the mods to kind of monitor a thread dedicated to that kind of discussion to keep it from getting trolled or create a member club and invite only certain people. I don't suspect it would get much use since we all talk openly about these kinds of issues.

You know, I was about to post that there's probably no need for that since I see musicbanter as a relatively mature community, and then Oriphiel posted. So...yeah...:/
