Sam Smith Say They Faced Homophobia And Sexism In The Music Industry
Sam Smith say that, after coming out as non-binary, they faced homophobia and sexism in the music industry.
According to ‘Gay Times’ the singer-songwriter said: “I’m loving it, I mean I’m scared every day. Being my feminine self in this world that we’re in, I mean the music industry can be a bit homophobic, a bit sexist at times.”
“Being feminine like this in the way I move and dance and am, it feels quite scary at times but is worth it,” they continued. “I felt very vulnerable doing it but I’m seeing now that’s the best space to be in. You feel joy quicker when being vulnerable like that.”
“But I’ve always been like that when in the club, with friends, with people that I feel safe with but showing it to the world is a different thing and I finally felt safe enough to do so.”
