It's Great That Taylor Swift Now Supports Gay People, But Her Messaging Needs Some Work
—is just subtext, allusions, teases. But “clues” are currency for Swift. For years she’s hidden secret messages in her music videos, social media, and album covers, and encouraged fans to decode them. So even though she’s never explicitly said, “I’m coming out,” she has absolutely given Swifties the okay to sleuth. That's the only reason speculating about her sexuality doesn't feel wholeheartedly gross or wrong. Shefans will read into her imagery.
Swift obviously hasn't come out. Instead, she says she's an ally, which she declared on Tumblr this weekend in response to rumors that she and Katy Perry would kiss in the video. In the post as knowing the difference between "allyship" and baiting: “To be an ally is to understand the difference between advocating and baiting. Anyone trying to twist this positivity into something it isn’t needs to calm down.”be a win for representation if Swift, arguably the biggest mainstream pop star in the world, came out. It’d prove, once and for all, that queerness isn’t shameful or weird. Yes, things are marginally better for queer people these days, but not everywhere.
We have to remember that there are still queer kids out there who need to see someone as visible as Swift lobby for gay rights. Sometimes I think, We’re past this, right? Weto be past this. We can’t still be debating that gay people are people—people who should be supported and have rights. As someone who works in media and has numerous discussions about the right and wrong ways to portray queerness onscreen, I admittedly lose sight of the current LGBTQ+ worldview.
