Lauv (singer)

i watched the video and I am lost. Is he bi, solely i to gays ? apparently it goes back to childhood and repressed feelings. He was super vague. I guess its something he is leaning into music wise and maybe we will het a gay ass video.

Frank Ocean was one of the new stars to freely talk about his sexuality in music. Surprised ppl are still conflicted about their sexuality after all these years.

no offense but you live in a bubble if you really find it surprising that people still struggle with their sexuality
 
It does come off a bit tacky to “come out” around the time you’re releasing and promoting a project. Convenient “coming out’s and creating a queer adjacent image is already starting to become a tired way of promotion. I’m not saying that’s what he did, but it’s become a cliche pattern. While it’s never the smartest idea to post a video like that if you’re still in the middle of trying to understand and accept your dimensions and you haven’t really done much research on “sexuality” or queerness in general. Because that vid came off very rambling, ambiguous and almost incomprehensible. I also don’t like people using the word “gay” if they still have hetero commitment ambitions. “Gay” has social and political aspects. So do public relationships and marriage. It’s not just about your sex life and your attractions.

Still, it’s apparent that he’s at least being somewhat sincere with his struggles. And you never know what someone is dealing with as far as their dimensions, mental health, questioning, potential fluidity, trying to gain self-comfort and confidence, trying to understand their place in the gender, sexual, affection, romantic, emotion, commitment spectrum. So, I do wish him well. Let’s hope he doesn’t go down the insecure or queer exploitation route.
 
Apparently it's impossible for a straight male to be supportive of the LGBT community without being a closet case or "queer baiter."

: unamused:

I swear, some of you people will never be satisfied.

This aged poorly

so basically you're biphobic af, good to know
 
It's interesting how Lauv timed his coming out with new music release. He could've let his music speak for itself and let people find out that he is bi through his music and lyrics.

The new song sucks btw.
Qhy are you mad about that? He's pretty transparent. He literally said in one of his videos his PR team recommended to do things the way he has been.

So his “heartfelt” come out wasn’t really authentic. He had already come out to his team and they prepared a totally artificial scenario for him to “share it with the world” (perfectly timed for their sympathy money to fall in the basket). Not surprising people are mad about that.
