Lil Nas X On The Challenges Of Coming Out
Award-winning singer Lil Nas X came out about a year ago but has not yet publicly talked about the struggles he might have faced while coming out. On the contrary, now Nas explains that he had no intention of coming out at all. “The honest truth is, I planned to die with the secret,” he said in a recent interview, adding “but that changed when I became Lil Nas X.”
Now, as ‘Rolling Stone’ reports, Nas explains that he wants to proudly represent the LGBT+ community while he also shared how his family responded to the news.
“My family knows now. But it’s not something that’s ever brought up or we speak about. We’re quiet on it. Nobody’s like, ‘Oh, you got a boyfriend,'” he explains. “I don’t want it to be something we never talk about. Because what about the kids in my family? I would like it to be a healthy medium between, ‘Who are you fucking?’ and just not saying anything.”
Nas went on to reveal that after he came out the Pete Buttigieg campaign asked him to be in a video, although he turned it down.
“I don’t know his political history or motives,” Nas said. “The only thing I know… Wasn’t he from the Democratic party? All I know is he’s from the Democratic party and he’s gay. So it’s like… I don’t want to base my support off, ‘Oh, you’re gay, I’m going to support you.’ Yeah, you’re gay. But I don’t know everything you’re planning when you’re running the entire country. But, yeah. That was the reason I said no.”
