Week #8 - YouTube Artist Series
Identifying as Lesbian in the Business?
Not too long ago someone asked me: "If you ever make it big, will you identify yourself as a lesbian or are you just going to keep quiet about your sexuality like most artists do?" I honestly didn't know what to say....I mean, would I? It occurred to me that it's really a shame how many artists are forced to keep quiet about their sexuality in order to "make it big." How many huge artists do we know that are COMPLETELY out of the closet, that pridefully tell the tabloids about their relationships and never look back? I'm sifting through my musical library and I can only think of people like Lady Gaga and Adam Lambert that have been able to keep their success and even that success comes with controversy; like adam's performance at the AMA's. |

Some people would say that people who don't flaunt their sexuality are selling out and being fake, but are they really? I understand how not being open about ones sexuality can come off as secretive, but I think there's more to it.
A true musician has a message; a message that they try to get out through their music. And that's just it. MUSIC! The business is the business and it focuses on the appearance, the lifestyle, the glamour, but at the end of the day HAVING A VOICE IS WHAT MATTERS! So would I? I'd like to believe that the world is a much better place, that my sexuality wouldn't play a role into how people perceive me, but I'm not that optimistic. I will never lie about who I am and what I stand for and wherever that takes me is where I will go. What do you think about hiding out in the music industry closet?
