queer Asian musicians

Hayley Kiyoko - Japanese-American lesbian pop artist. She became a tumblr sensation when her MV “Girls like Girls” went viral on tumblr a few years back. She also coined the term twentygayteen and has been dubbed our lesbian jesus! Her first album “Expectations” was released earlier this year and its gaaaaay.

Sofya Wang - First generation Chinese-American lesbian pop artist. Her single “Boys Aside” was released in 2017, and several other singles were released this year. Her career is just kicking off, but I think we have a lot to look forward to!

Rina Sawayama - Japanese-British pansexual pop/contemporary R&B artist. She was born in Niigata, Japan and raised there until age 5. She came out by releasing the single “Cherry” and has said many of her songs are about women!

Thao Nyugen - Vietnamese-American indie/alt singer. She fronted the band Thao & the get down stay down and also collaborated with fellow lesbian artist Mirah to release music under Thao & Mirah. Give “With a girl like you” a listen.

Holland - First openly gay K-Pop Idol to debut! He’s 22 years old and his first song “Neverland” was released January 2018. He’s released a few more singles since and is huge with international fans.

MRSHLL - While Holland is the first openly gay K-Pop Idol, MRSHLL is the first openly gay Korean musician to ever begin his career in Korea. He’s a R&B artist and just released his first EP this year.

Poppy Ajudha - Queer British-Indian and St. Lucian Soul/Jazz/Experimental artist. One of her grandmothers was a Windrush immigrant. Her first EP “FEMME” was released this year and I can tell we have lots to look forward to from her.

Leo Kalyan - British-Pakistani dance/electronic singer who is gay & Muslim! He came out in his music video for “fucked up” and has released a few singles this year! He’s also just a very eloquent and inspiring guy.

Japanese Breakfast - The indie/experimental pop solo project of Michelle Zauner, a Jewish Korean-American queer/bi woman. She says she chose her name because she strongly identified with Japanese culture growing up, since it was the closest thing she could find in popular media that resembled Korean culture.

wheres awkwafina tho?!

Casual reminder that Awsten is a grown ass man who doesn’t need y'all to defend him when he fucks up. It’s okay to acknowledge that he was being an ass without saying he’s a shitty person overall. He’s a human, we’re all dumb sometimes. Move the fuck on

oh damn what happened

guys: fight each other all the time

girls: support each other and share hand cream

Lol no. Girls are bitches to each other more often than not. If it isn’t to your face it’s behind your back.

maybe they are mean to you only. everybody in my group is supportive and we share hand cream.

damn you need some new friends then cuz all the girls in my group are all supportive bad bitches

I find it sooooo funny (aka annoying) that straight people will never truly understand the real goals of the gay community

Like they think all we want is to be treated like everyone else. To not be ostracized for being who we are. And they’re right.

But then they take this goal they think we have and somehow in their tiny Het brains it translates to “they want to be seen as straight people, they want to conform, they want gay to become a meaningless label”

So then ally culture becomes “I don’t see gay people as any different, I don’t care about sexuality, the only difference between us is who we love etc.”

And they completely miss the point that we loooove being gay. We love pride, we love talking about our sexuality and how it affects us (if we’re safe to do so) we love having a sense of community and belonging.

What’s gross about this mindset is it stems from the fact that straights cannot even fathom treating gay people like their equals without erasing our identity and forcing us to conform. “I don’t care about your sexuality, I still love you” is false allyship, and in the long term does more harm than good. What gay people truly want is “I see your sexuality, I recognize that your struggles and goals are different than mine, and I’m still going to treat you like a human and give you the rights you deserve”

If you can’t see me as your equal while also recognizing that I’m a lesbian, you are not an ally.

i knooow there are so many posts abt this right now but please please think about why gay pda at pride makes you so uncomfortable. if youre ace or aro, and you go to pride and then get upset when you see gay people freely expressing affection and taking pride in their love, dont go to pride. pride and pride celebrations are where we can be ourselves. its supposed to be a place where we are safe to express our sexuality and shrug off our struggles we have to face everywhere else as lgbt people. pride is for love, and if you dont want to see gay pda then dont go to pride. its not your place to restrict the affection of a couple in a space that was made to allow them to be themselves in that respect, when they have to restrict themselves everywhere else because of society’s homophobia.

if you think you can rebuttal this by saying its not homophobic bc “straight pda is gross too!!”, guess whos not going to be out and about at pride?? straight people!! if theyre there its as an ally, not as a member of the community. if you wouldnt go up to a random straight couple in the streets to tell them to stop holding hands, dont do it to a gay couple at pride. this sudden influx of ace/aros complaining about pda at pride is so transparently homophobic its not even funny anymore.

this isnt a post about how cishet ace/aros shouldnt be allowed at pride, although i agree theyre not inherently lgbt– its a post about how if youre going to be uncomfortable about pda at pride then dont go to pride. its our space to be who we want, not yours to whine about aphobia and exclusion.

yes 👏👏

women are most attractive when they’re not even thinking abt it. and i don’t mean that in a “girls look better without makeup” way so much as a “i love seeing girls be their natural selves where they forget the pressure of perfection placed on women” way.

i love the goofing off double chins and the too-loud near-obnoxious laughter, the gruff and scratchy voice in the morning when they’re too tired to bother with sounding soft, and the not brushing their hair bc they can’t be bothered to deal with and what are you going to do about it anyway?

i love the boldness of women who forget that they have been told to be delicate.
