Venice Jesus Whore 4,471 Posted July 13, 2023 I love everything about this. I might even just buy the album just for the cover art (his music is also reliably good though). Trying to make straight people happy has never done anything good for our community. It just makes us repress ourselves and puts us all in the closet a little more. It reduces representation of our community in everyday life. And they just try to erase us even more. Why are the straights the only ones allowed to have sexually charged music videos? It’s rare that we ever get that. Now we finally have it, and y’all are complaining? We constantly have straight sexuality shoved in our faces. The straights can deal with the reverse (even though they can totally avoid watching this altogether). Some of y’all need to go to therapy for internalized homophobia. I’m going to celebrate and enjoy this win for our community. Thank you, Troye! 8 Quote It’s not about having someone to love me anymore This is the experience of being an American whore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paradiso 1,639 Posted July 13, 2023 ANYWAYS! most of the album was made with leland and oscar gorres, so it looks like we're getting in a dream: roman reloaded - the re-up! plus ag cook produced the closing track, which i'm intrigued by 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sam Smith is the definition of to do sex wrong. I don't disagree there. He can take notes from Troye. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She was very sexy during this era in her 20s but compared to Christina did not have the same mature boss bitch vibe. Troye has the same vibe not a “mature look” yet his movements are just not fluid or sexy at all. The video comes across as forced to me but again if he’s made it he was happy to release it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
