uhhhh hi there :)

i know this isn’t exactly a POC band but there’s a russian band named kolibri made of four sapphic women (one of them has sadly passed away recently) and they’ve been making music together since the 90s? they don’t sing in english (unless you count half the song world of magic) but have really good music about various topics that go FAR beyond just “i am gay”… they have retellings of folk stories from various cultures, songs about loss and properly overcoming grief, songs about how rivalry gets you nowhere, and how you don’t need to be a “hero” to deserve good things

i’m just putting that out here in case anyone thinks that living in a country that doesn’t support queer folk means that everyone in it is homophobic. because why would they enforce homophobic laws if there were no gay people to enforce it upon?

proclaiming we're in a lesbian music renaissance NOW thanks to artists like Billie Eilish, Chapell Roan, Fletcher, Phoebe Bridgers, Dove Cameron and Renee Rapp is qWHITE interesting to me (dgmw I like those artists but)........... people are acting like Janelle Monae, Victoria Monet, Hayley Kiyoko, Arlo Parks, Halsey, Kehlani, Syd, Dua Saleh, Raveena, Kelela, and even Megan Thee Stallion haven't been CONSISTENTLY making music about loving women and eating pussy for well over a decade. is it only a "sapphic music renaissance" when white lesbians and queer women do it?
