![]() Kim Petras additionally came to media attention in 2006 at 13 years old and another person I discovered around the time I came out. Jazz Jennings was born in the year 2000, so would have been 6 or 7 years old at the time. She was interviewed by Barbara Walters on 20/20 way back in 2007, 16 years ago. So I first learned about Jazz Jennings shortly before I came out. My ex-girlfriend from high school, my friends from high school, both the pastoral managers at the school and the local LGBT+ youth group can all confirm back in 2008 when I was just 15 years old, I was out as transgender.īut I’m not a high profile trans person so I appreciate the proof of my claim maybe hard to substantiate. 2008 for the former and 2003 for the latter, which is like 20 years ago. Personally, I came out while I was in high school and knew I was trans since I was 10 years old. It’s really irritating when I see people argue that “trans kids didn’t exist 10 years ago” as it is such an easily debunked argument. homophobia picture to burn mean taylor swift None of us are perfect, much less at 17 and if that is the only case of Taylor being homophobic you can bring me during her entire career, then sorry but I am not buying the fact she is a homophobe. First recorded way back in 2006 and released in 2008. bi taylor betty people taylor swiftĪnd in Taylor’s entire arsenal of songs there is only one I know of with a homophobic line, “Picture to Burn” on her debut album. Yeah, I personally don’t personally don’t see her as an LGBT icon given as far as we know she is straight but if she were to come out that would be cool. i decide to give them that meaning for myself not necessarily because i think she’s gay/bi. Yeah i understand being somewhat weirded out by people calling her an lgbt icon since from all we know she’s a straight ally but i don’t think it’s bad to interpret her songs in a sapphic way. ![]() But from what I can tell she isn’t and her music meant a lot to me when I first came out and her music continues to mean a lot to me. Her songs brought joy into my life when my Mum was being homophobic and shitty at home.Īnd sure, if Taylor were truly problematic then feel free to take all that away from me. Taylor was also an artist I came across literally as I’d just come out, she was a massive source of empowerment for me. So relevant for anyone who comes across this thread on my blog. Idk… like i understand people not liking her or her music but it’s annoying when they act like she’s the worst person ever and that it’s justifiable to act this way towards her or her fans None of us are perfect, much less at 17 and if that is the only case of Taylor being homophobic you can bring me during her entire career, then sorry but I am not buying the fact she is a Ugh! What the hell is wrong with people? But during a time our rights are very much under threat with a leader like Trump in the White House, Taylor has spoken out for us and even pushed the US to have its own Equality Act enshrined in law. Granted, the sexuality of the guy in the video is open to interpretation but yeah.Īnd for a long time Taylor has been very apolitical, mentioning she has not wanted to sway the politics of those who idolise her. In fact the next song that shows any reference to homosexuality, is “Mean” where in the music video you have a seemingly artsy gay kid who is bullied in school but becomes a success unlike his bully. In 2006 Taylor Swift was 17, the line was changed before the album got released, I have only ever been able to find the original version of the song illegally and since then I haven’t heard any of her songs have a similarly objectionable line. ![]() That’s fine, I’ll tell mine that you’re gay” “So go and tell your friends I’m obsessive and crazy, This is thanks to the fact I had a gf in Texas.Īnd in Taylor’s entire arsenal of songs there is only one I know of with a homophobic line is “Picture to Burn” her debut album. In fact I’m probably one of few individuals who new about her in the UK before “Fearless” came out. Now I have been a fan Taylor Swift since I was in high school. So as some of you may have seen, I got an anonymous submission telling me not to put lesbian meanings onto Taylor Swift songs cos apparently Taylor is “not a fucking lesbian” and “homophobix ”. Jenniferdiazisatransgirl: Aside from “Picture to Burn” is there any proof that Taylor Swift is in fact homophobic?
