which is exactly why i do what i do."Īnother challenged Lil Nas should consider the fact that children are watching the award show and homophobically suggested he should "chill that gay sh*t out." when you’re conditioned by society to hate yourself your entire life it takes a lot of unlearning. Tonight, he became a bonafide sex symbol as he flaunted his ripped physique while seductively groping and grinding up against a half dozen shirtless male dancers during a very gay, very explicit performance of his 1 hit single, Montero, on NBC’s Saturday Night Live. And this handsome man made a real gay show, kissing naked guys on the floor right on the stage during his song. In response, the 22-year-old artist explained, "You’re right i am insecure about my sexuality. Lil Nas X is an extremely fine man who by every objective measure has always been hot. He continued in another tweet, "like the song is literally about gay sex what y’all want me to do play the piano while baking a cake?" Another critic responded to the tweets suggesting Lil Nas was insecure about his sexuality and was simply overcompensating for it "every chance you get."
"we are 4 months in and people are still acting surprised that i am being gay and sexual in performances of a song about gay and sexual shit," tweeted the Grammy winner on Monday (June 28), a day removed from his performance.
