#if it was 'wlw music renaissance' then id be pounding age of pleasure over these peoples heads like i would NOT shut

[angelsaxis]

there was a post going around a bit ago complaining about the claim that chappelle roan and other white lesbian musicians are bringing in a renaissance in lesbians in music (in pop specifically I think? Ive never seen the renaissance claims myself) and while OP was right to be complaining about how people only ever focus on white women for their music, they said "how can u say these white girls are putting us in the renaissance when we have syd --"

terrible paraphrase sorry. but it annoyed me because yes syd is a lesbian and Black but she's not in pop and she's been around for a while. I love syd. i LOVE syd. maybe this is me splitting hairs but if someone says "yaay lesbians in pop" and you bring up syd. idk.

and then they said there's been Black women singing about loving women for ages and they brought up megan thee stallion, janelle monae, khelani, and others and its like yeah! they do all love women! none of them are LESBIANS though and that was the original statement made in their post, lesbians (in pop) starting a lesbian music renaissance.

and again maybe this is splitting hairs or just petty of me or something but if yall cant even name a Black lesbian musician OUTSIDE syd and tracy chapman and the artists you do mention dont even meet the parameters then --
