WWW.PRIDE.COMFletcher's new song about kissing a boy turns her fandom into a war zoneAfter months of radio silence, Fletcher is back with a new song and a new album announcement and some revelations about her personal life that have fans conflicted.On Wednesday, the "Becky's So Hot" singer posted a short video and a note describing the theme of her upcoming album."Would I still be loved if I shared who I am right now?" she wrote. "Both an open wound and an act of liberation, it marks the start of a new chapter in a longer story. One I am still learning how to tell."It didn't take long for fans to start speculating on what, exactly, Fletcher meant by this. By Thursday, she had dropped a new song that confirmed their suspicions."And I know it's not what you wanted to hear / And it wasn't on your bingo card this year / Well it wasn't on mine / I fell in love / And it wasn't with who I thought it would be / And I'm scared to think of what you'll think of me / His lips were soft / I had no choice, I kissed a boy," she sings in the chorus of "Boy."See on InstagramTo clear up any misconceptions, Fletcher has always publicly identified as queer, not as a lesbian. There's no actual shift to her identity (although it would be fine if there was!), but up until a few lines on her previous album, In Search of the Antidote, her music had centered around her relationships with and interest in women.As soon as "Boy" dropped, Fletcher's Instagram became a war zone between those who saw her romantic pursuit of a man as a betrayal and those frustrated by the biphobia being expressed in the comments."there's nothing brave about revealing your straight relationships i hope yall know that," one person wrote. "its giving corny is what this is.""This comment section is not it," another argued. "queer women can still date men."It's obvious from the lyrics and the post leading up to the drop that Fletcher herself saw the divide coming."There will be people that feel disappointed and feel confused and have questions," she told Rolling Stone. "Girl, I had questions and I was confused too. It shocked me just as much as anybody else."The details of how this played out deepened the debate dropping the song during Pride Month and deleting her previous social media posts both contributed to the heated conversations among fans. (@) "Fletcher releasing this song during pride month is wild. You couldn't drop this LAST WEEK? I am not upset at the lyrical content, I actually like the song, and am fully aware she is bi. I'm upset that she built her career around wlw and this month was chosen for the announcement." (@) "It's really sad to me that Fletcher knew she'd get hate from her own community for exploring her own identity." (@) "yes it did because bi and pan people still exist and are still valid during pride month.""Kissing a boy fair Deleting everything to do with kissing girls not fair. But all love." (@) "like im really not mad about fletcher finding love with a man or whatever like good for her But i do hate that its coming on the heels of jojo siwa Also renouncing lesbianism to be with a guy, just feels like an unfortunately regressive moment" (@) "fletcher may not see your comments, but your bisexual friends will. please remember that before you start spewing hate about bisexuals during pride month. thank you." (@) "some of you seem to forget fletcher is a real human being with real feelings and real experiences, she isnt here to fill out your diversity quota or to fit into the box you have made for her with your narratives. have a bit more sympathy im begging."Amidst all the debates, it seemed there may be more nuanced conversations to be had about the relatability and roles celebrities especially queer musicians play in our lives."She won't be relatable anymore to me personally, bc I can't relate to someone loving men and writing music about that experience. It's that simple," one fan wrote."There's also genuine feelings of loss- of someone who [lesbians] related to- who narrated their experiences in song- is less like them," another suggested. "It's not rational. But it's real."Whether these are conversations we're currently capable of having in a big public forum like social media without taking a nosedive straight into biphobia is another matter especially when they're centered around a single person and their personal identity.But regardless of any existing fears or disappointments some fans may have, Fletcher herself assured Rolling Stone that she has always been and will always be a queer woman. Her new album, Would You Still Love Me If You Really Knew Me?, is "not an album about a guy," but rather an exploration of various secrets and aspects of her life and self she's kept out of the public eye. "My deepest desire for people was for them to boldly and unapologetically be themselves," she said. "If that's what I've been preaching to my fans who I love so much this whole time, then I have to give myself that same grace. Otherwise, what the fuck is the point?"And it seems clear that she's banking on her fans feeling the same way about her.0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.PRIDE.COMSasha Colby dishes on a 'Drag Race' return & the Sapphics being her biggest fansSasha Colby is really loved by everyone in the LGBTQ+ community.The RuPaul's Drag Race winner is slaying all aspects of her life as she's performing around the world, embarking on new business ventures, and dating multiple gorgeous people at once.With Pride Month now in full effect, the star is gearing up for a very special performance in Washington, D.C. as she joins an iconic lineup of queer entertainers and allies at the WorldPride Music Festival."D.C. is one of the gayest cities I've ever been to! The amount of homosexuals running up that Capitol Hill, honey. I'll see you all there and I'll see all these black boxes on Grindr. TS only, honey. I see y'all... senators. We all protest in our own way," Colby tells PRIDE. See on Instagram Anyone who's seen Colby live knows that she brings the stunts and shenanigans while showing plenty of skin during her incredibly dynamic shows."You can expect to party and play! You can expect some fierceness, some goddess and probably some skin... not going to lie. It's summer and she loves being stripped!"With so much political unrest surrounding the LGBTQ+ community during these challenging times, Colby is proudly embracing her trans identity and encouraging other people in the queer family to present themselves proudly."It's a celebration! I think that's why there's so much body positivity with trans women. When I'm stripping and showing skin, I'm not doing it just for me. I'm doing it for all the dolls in solidarity! [We're taking] up the space in all the boys heads... and the lesbians, let's be honest." See on Instagram Although Colby's fanbase is made up of every type of person, the Drag Race icon is grateful that she has such passionate support from the Sapphic community."We're going to show the world why queer strength and power is so important with Pride. To my lesbians, I see you! No, I'm not taking another partner right now."It's safe to say that Colby's schedule is booked for the time being, but the reality star is still very much interested in eventually returning to the werkroom for an All Winners season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars."One of these days, for sure. I love a good competition and it's always fun. It actually looks so much fun to do an All Stars. It's a lot of less pressure. It would be exciting!"Fans can keep up with Sasha Colby by following her on Instagram here. To see the full interview, check out the video at the top of the page.0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.PRIDE.COMWhy MAGA supporter Yulissa was removed from Love Island & more controversial exitsLove Island USA is back on our TV screens with 10 new sexy singles competing to find love and win $100,000, but its already off to a rocky start as one sexy single was kicked off for a controversial reason.The series is known for being messy, but were only two episodes into the seventh season of the popular reality series, hosted once again by bisexual queen Ariana Madix, and contestant Yulissa Escobar has already been unceremoniously removed from the villa in Fiji.In episode 2, after participating in a kissing challenge and getting ready for bed, Escobar was missing the next morning, with the narrator Iain Stirling announcing that, Yulissa has left the villa without any explanation.Although Peacock didnt provide a reason for her exit when Decider reached out for comment, shortly before her departure, TMZ resurfaced a clip of Escobar using the N-word multiple times during a past podcast appearance where she was talking about her dating life. But not only was she caught using racial slurs, but Love Island fans have been critical of Escobar for other videos and social media posts that show shes a Trump supporter.I lost about 600 followers just because Im a Trump supporter. Everybodys entitled to their own fucking opinion, Escobar said in a video she posted to X (formerly Twitter).Escobars exit may be shocking, but she is far from the only sexy single to get the boot because of controversial behavior.Ollie Williams (Season 6)Ollie Williams was on the sixth sixth season of the UKs Love Island but chose to leave the villa after just three days, admitting that he was missing his ex. But before his abrupt exit, photos of Williams posing with hunted animals surfaced online and fans had already started demand he be banned from coming on the show at. Viewers claimed his exit was staged because he left before even taking the time to out on a shirt or shoes.He also landed in hot water after he introduced himself on the show that he is the heir to an estate in Cornwall, Lanhydrock and would one day take on the titles and the estate that belong to his father, but it later came out that all of that may be a fiction, the BBC reported.Malia Arkian (Season 2)Love Island star Malia Arkian broke a record for fasted exit in the shows history after leaving 20 minutes into the first episode of season 2. Arkian got into a fight with fellow Love Islander Kady over Scott, who they both were into.Malia claimed Kady poured a drink down her leg and then the two women got into a huge argument which ended with Arkian shouting, Shut up you b*tch, before allegedly shoving Kady.Security removed me after an altercation with Kady, Arkian told Closer. "I met with the producers, where we watched the footage back and there was a report conducted. I then went to a hotel with my chaperone, where I stayed for 24 hours, with no contact with anyone.Sherif Lanre (Season 5)When Sherif Lanre was kicked off of Love Island season 5, wild rumors spread that he had been asked to leave for breaking rules, with fans guessing that his behavior had been inappropriate or that he got into a fight with a fellow contestant. But the truth is that he was asked to leave after he accidentally kicked a fellow contestant Molly-Mae Hague while the two were playfighting and then jokingly called the move a c***-punt."Lanre told the press that he was woken up the next morning and was told hed be leaving the show. I know I have been stupid and let myself down, but I was not being malicious, he told The Sun. This has been blown out of all proportion and I have been made to look like a terrible person when I am not.Is a reality TV show even good if there isn't some controversy?0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
