Lil Nas X has released what might be his queerest music video yet – and it’s inspired by Brokeback Mountain. The singer-rapper dropped the music video for “That’s What I Want” just as his hotly-anticipated debut album Montero finally landed on streaming platforms.
Needless to say, the powerful music video quickly stormed through the internet – and Lil Nas X was widely praised for being unafraid to put his sexuality at the centre of his music.
These are some screen grabs of my favourite moments from @LilNasX “that’s what I want” – this song & video are fun, catchy, beautiful, sad, and more.
Yes to queer representation. Yes to gay representation. Yes to Black queer representation. Yes yes yes !
