Most of the pop videos I've seen that have any male/female interaction are usually centered around a romance - and that's great, I am all for romance. But let's face it, there are a lot of other sexualities and identities that are well-deserving of some shiny pop video love.
我看过的大多数流行视频都是以浪漫为中心的，我完全支持浪漫。但让我们面对现实吧，还有很多其他的性取向和身份都值得一些闪亮的流行视频之爱。
When I meet gay kids and they know who we are, I remember that's amazing because literally every gay person in every gay story I knew growing up was doomed to die. There weren't any positive gay stories and it's incredible that has changed.
当我遇到同性恋的孩子，他们知道我们是谁，我记得这是惊人的，因为几乎每一个同性恋故事中的同性恋者，我知道长大注定要死。当时没有任何正面的同性恋故事，令人难以置信的是这一切都发生了变化。

We are traumatized by growing up in a world that doesn't really accept us. Obviously, we've made great leaps and bounds, but I think there's a tendency to force a narrative onto queer people that once you come out... you have to be really happy and really successful and proud all the time.
我们在一个不能真正接受我们的世界里成长，我们受到了创伤。很明显，我们已经取得了巨大的飞跃，但我认为有一种倾向，就是把一个故事强加给同性恋者，一旦你出来。。。你必须一直非常快乐，非常成功和自豪。
I feel like listening to sad songs are a way of narrating your life and confirming your identity.

Personally, I've always been ashamed of my body and I've hated being so skinny - I had an eating disorder for so long.
