brought together four songwriters behind some of days biggest hits to discuss their unique role as LGBTQ members of the music industry. senior editor Joe Lynch, who asked the panelists how being part of the LGBTQ community has impacted their songwriting.
Specifically, they brought up Halsey's "Bad at Love," and how a "bisexual smash" like that one gives them hope for the future of LGBTQ-centered songs. "When it comes to young people, it almost didn’t even register — in a good way. The kids were like, 'Halsey's bi, so why wouldn’t one verse be for girls and one for guys?'"
"I was secretly writing about women for so long," she continued. "And now I feel like I can write for a guy who is straight and I feel like I can openly write better for males because I’ve experienced women too." "I think [coming out] changes how I interact with this world and I don’t feel like I have this big secret shadowed with this black cloud of shame."
No one cares. When does pretending they are downtrodden or special to prop up your SJW feelz end?
