The women who desperately need Taylor swift to be gay are kind of indicative of a larger trend in gay stuff where people don’t want to seek out actual gay art or culture but want to consecrate all the normiest str8 culture as somehow queer in order to feel like they are participating, without having to actually do anything deviating from the lowest common denominator broadest appeal culture industry products
I feel like this is an ingredient in a great big stew right now alongside rainbow-washed Disney, kink at pride discourse, and the way the left eats its own and queer creators get bullied and deplatformed by people who nominally want queer content but cannot stand anything challenging or threatening or uncomfortable.
But i can’t quite tease apart all the threads to make sense of it right this second.
