Mykki Blanco on LGBTQ Visbility and How the Music Industry Is Changing: My Career 'Could Not Have Happened Any Sooner'

by a trans director named Zackary Drucker. This production was my first time working with a trans director, but I also remember that the entire production staff was queer, trans, or gender non-conforming. There was not one cis het white man that was on that production staff. Not the sound person, not the assistant director, not the people doing hair and makeup.

It’s hard to make any kind of blanket statement, but now that Lil Nas X has come out -- one of the most popular pop-rap musicians in the world right now -- it’s really going to be interesting to see his trajectory. He speaks to a generation that is far more accepting and far more open-minded than the world that I kind of came into about six and a half years ago. But also Lil Nas X [appears to identify as] a cis male gay.

Hip-hop has this reputation for being particularly homophobic, and people in the industry talk about it as if it’s the genre that has been the slowest to embrace LGBTQ inclusion. Do you think that’s the case? But I am extremely hopeful, because at its core -- even though hip-hop is a global phenomenon -- it’s still a reflection of black American identity. And I think that if there’s anything that I’ve learned in the six and a half years that I’ve had my career, it’s that you cannot rush change. A few years ago I would have given you an answer that was far more militant.

then come out. If you’re a music lover and you love this song, if you attach memories to this album, you know then you really have to question your character if one of your favorite artists comes out and you can’t fuck with their music anymore.
