Also, not only is the whole video just unapologetically, beautifully gay, but it's also well-grounded historically, mythically, and philosophically. There's so much symbolism and I feel like I missed most of it because I just don't know enough about the history of christianity to fully appreciate everything. And there's even a quote (in the original ancient greek!) from Plato's Symposium!
I didn't expect to like this music video, my music tastes are weird and tend towards classical music almost exclusively (and video game soundtracks), but I fucking love this song and the music video that accompanies it. It's just so good. And it pissing off conservatives is a bonus.
i respect Lil Nas X so much tbh. he knows pop music isn't to be taken seriously and he's just having fun, memeing and doing his thing while being able to be somewhat subversive along the way.
