Over the weekend, Lil Nas X came out as gay on Twitter. In the tweet, he wrote that he thought his orientation was obvious: by zooming in on the rainbow patterns on the buildings of his 7 EP and a closer examination of c7osure. “Some of y’all already know, some of y’all don’t care, some of y’all not gone fwm no more. but before this month ends i want y’all to listen closely to c7osure,” it said in the tweet ending with a rainbow emoji.

The reactions among the fans have been mixed, with some maintaining their support and others renouncing theirs. Lil Nas X didn’t call out the fans with the latter reaction, only giving them a short and sweet “LMAO”.
It’s refreshing to see the artist of the most popular song of the year, “Old Town Road”, come out on the last day of Pride Month. I think that his fan base is young enough that the decision shouldn’t be too detrimental, and may even increase the support of some fans.
