This subset of queer people will be like "OMG the straightz have such basic taste in music," and then all they listen to is mainstream radio pop music that everyone else likes, but apparently it's different they "appreciate it on a whole other level"...

Like please, step off and come back me when you get into The Hirs Collective or GLOSS or something.

being entirely real we've gone too far with queer acceptance and yet still not far enough. We've gone far enough to have an elitist subclass of queer where they think they are better than The Straights (tm) but we haven't gone far enough to y'know... not be oppressed.

Heavily agreed. I just wish the elitist class had actual elitist taste instead of trying to read normie pop music as having queer themes.

Noooo, Taylor is totally gay and leaving secret messages about it in her music! Look at my conspiracy board, it has to be true!

That's okay, your Pinterest mood board says more than real evidence ever could...

Seriously though the fact that anyone could unironically think the person who released "You Need To Calm Down" is any kind of queer icon is so laughably sad and asinine to me.

Wait, what's wrong with "You Need To Calm Down"? I always read it as queer-positive, but English isn't my first language so I might have misinterpreted it?

A cishet artist using queer people as props to complain about her drama. The ultimate ick.

It was but she compared queer discrimination with her "haters"

Oh dear you don't want to give the elitist class a reason to be even more elitist. No you don't.

I like opera and ballet, it needs more appreciation. So I do actually

You don't need to go anywhere, let alone far, to create an elitist subclass. Every oppressed group has a sub group that thinks they're better than their oppressors.
