Never not thinking about how when Lorde was questioned about a possible relationship with Jack she called it “heteronormative bullshit” but when a radio host asked if she and Taylor were lesbians she said “so what if we are”
Taylor Alison Swift beating the gay allegations by dressing in rainbow jewels, dancing sexily with another woman, pansexual lighting, featuring her rumoured new gf, and not ending up with the prince. Ok
The thing is: the queer stuff comes from Taylor, not from us, we just highlight it. It’s not like we’re out here projecting onto every super famous celeb. We’re not claiming Gayonce or Lana Del Gay. We’re Gaylors because Taylor is so loud
I read recently that lots of younger lesbians are becoming TERFs??? So I just wanted to check with Gaylors that we are all on the same pro trans rights page?? I’m honestly struggling to believe that young sapphic culture is terfy (also for the record I am old and bi) 🏳️⚧️
Obsessed with the “Taylor loves all her fans so much” discourse gritting up against “fuck you wine moms and fuck fans who don’t like who I date and fuck everyone who makes me a god and also I drugged you all, you can’t quit me, fuck you”
Taylor is LITERALLY like all the Kens were interchangeable and I ghosted them but then you my dream girl came along and I fell so hard now I’m heartbroken forever and people STILL don’t see it
I’m sorry straights but queers literally own lavendar. That includes bisexuals who basically invented purple. Watch out cos Lavendar Haze is gonna be a queer song, confirmed by the need for Taylor’s hostage video explanation
Been thinking about why lavendergate feels so much worse than other denials and it’s because it involves making us feel crazy about our understanding of the world (based on queer history) not just our interpretation of Taylor (based on her lyrics etc)
Rewatched Taylor’s 73 Questions With Vogue video today and forgot that when the dude asks her where he should take his wife for their anniversary she says Big Sur 💀
So maybe did Taylor make sure Joe got a Grammy *just* to spite Calvin Harris (perhaps to say “look what a GOOD beard gets!”)?? Makes a lot of sense when you see Bowery listed on Sweet Nothing (Calvin had a hit of the same name)
Hetlors will be like “she explained track one three and four because it’s 1 and 3 ie 13 and 4, so she’s starting her tour on the 13th of the fourth month” but then when you press them on the lyrics “you won’t have to cry or hide in the closet” it’s just a song
FYI when hetlors claim we’re “sexualising” Taylor for saying she’s gay they’re equating queerness with being sexual. Straightness is an assumed default identity/way of being seen as not about sex and often about love. But queers are accused of being hyper sexual. It’s Homophobia
Before gaylors start, that was not a Gaylor video. It was a gay panic video that can easily be seen as a video freaking out over the Collab. And anyone mentioning hashtags, you know the chances she read the caption is low. She might not even know what a Gaylor is for what we know
Do you think maybe Taylor thought this would just give her plausible deniability with straight fans and Gaylors would look at the mad men reference and see the Betty hint and not get mad. Like, do you think she thought this would go down better
the “in that lavender haze” long sleeve tee from taylor’s most recent merch drop used the font MARSHA (named after queen Marsha P. Johnson), which was used for the sign of the Stonewall Inn! credit to @/barbarelleh on tik tok
Finding queer narratives in straight culture has always been a survival mechanism. That’s why we have “friend of Dorothy”: from a queer reading of Wizard of Oz. It’s not weird to analyse Taylor’s lyrics through a queer lens and also not weird to think and hope she might be queer
One thing articles about Gaylors almost never get right is how much we actually love Taylor. It’s not just about queer reading her music, we LOVE her music
Today i mentioned Gaylor to my hairdresser, with no actual explanations, and he literally thought about it for one second before agreeing that it’s obvious
