Despite four years having passed since Lil Nas X publicly came out as a power bottom and sang about sexual liberty, his sexuality is still being scrutinized by fans. Recently, a now-viral tweet claimed that Lil Nas X was not actually gay and was only performing his queerness. The tweet garnered a lot of attention and caused fans to rally around the rapper in support.
Lil Nas X himself responded to the tweet, jokingly saying that he was actually an “estrogen expert.” However, the scrutiny of his sexuality is not entirely unfounded. The rapper has previously flirted with the idea of being bisexual, publicly coming out as “a lil bisexual” in January.
This entire situation highlights the fluidity of sexuality and the ongoing issue of having one’s gender expression and mannerisms scrutinized. While Lil Nas X is still considered an icon within the LGBT community, this recent controversy serves as a reminder that everyone’s journey with their sexuality is unique and should be respected. As society continues to shift towards greater acceptance and understanding, it is important to support individuals as they explore their sexuality without judgment or shame.
