regarding this whole halsey thing i totally agree with u. i feel like so much of the media is super hard on her for everything she does and i feel like (as a bi girl myself) the pressure to choose to be "more lesbian" or "more straight" is constantly there and i wish people could just accept that being bi comes on a spectrum and that halsey should just be allowed to do what she wants (to an extend let's not go crazy lol) anyways this got long i just wanna say keep on rocking!

thank u! (srry this took a while to answer my computer charger broke and i dont like answering messages on mobile and i just now got access to a charger anyway) And I totally agree. She is by no means a perfect person, and has made mistakes in the past (then again what person doesn’t, celebrities are just unlucky in the way that everything they do is broadcast to the whole world so they don’t get let off the way your average citizen does), but she does get an unfair amount of criticism about literally anything she does. 

And I’m very tired of people either accusing her of lying about being bisexual  because she’s only ever had one public relationship and it was with a boy, or accusing her of using her sexuality to get money and more fame. It’s harmful to do that, first of all, and is a reason some people don’t ever come out to certain people, because they’re afraid they may get accused of lying or only doing it to get something. 

Musicians write about what they want, sometimes it’s about their personal life, sometimes it’s about things they like, it’s a bunch of different things. Halsey is by no means obligated to write a song about dating a girl, being bisexual, anything. She writes what she wants, and what she writes isn’t bad. There are very few openly queer people in popular media, and because there are so few, people expect those few people to be the voice for EVERYONE. People complain that Halsey doesn’t write songs for lesbians, but Halsey isn’t a lesbian. Do lesbian teens deserve songs they can relate to? Absolutely! But since Halsey is a bi woman, who seems to have dated mostly men, she’s going to have more material for creating love songs about men. And there’s nothing wrong with that, doesn’t make her any less bi, and she’s not letting anyone down because she didn’t start her career saying “I’m going to write songs for lesbians and only them!”. She isn’t bound to one topic, and it’s unfair for people to attack her for not writing what they want to see. 

She’s not queerbaiting, because she said her next album would have songs with female pronouns, and we can’t say she queerbaited because guess what! That album isn’t out yet. We have no idea if she’s lying, and she probably isn’t. If her next album comes out and there’s only love songs with he/him pronouns, then yeah she kind of let a lot of people down and lied for some reason. But we can’t say she did that because the album isn’t even done yet. 

Basically she can’t be the voice for everybody, and it’s unfair of people to attack celebrities for not doing things they way they want said celebrity to do. They aren’t some robot you can program to please your every need. They’re a person and in the end, they can do, write, create whatever the fuck they want. (like you said, to an extent)

(and can i just say, that blogger I was discussing things with yesterday.... an absolute shitshow went down on their blog later because of it and in the end they basically ended up saying that Halsey is a piece of shit because she used to kiss fans 3-4 years younger than her (a different touchy topic that I’m not going to go into at the moment) with the fans permission, and fans of Halsey are gross, but it’s forgivable and not as bad that James Franco, a nearly 40 year old man, tried to bring a 17 year old girl back to his hotel room to have sex with her, and if people like Halsey then it’s ok if they like James Franco..... like.... are you hearing yourself right now..... ok.... they deleted all the posts saying that stuff but like.... I saw it all....)
