gagzus 16,059 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 She’s not a gay icon but I do thank her for her slacktivism this past year I guess. However, she only started being like this after it was put into question whether she voted republican, and most people thought she did so it was more of a PR thing at the time I feel.

Anderson123 38,683 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Truly an LGBTQ ally queen getting the recognition she deserves. So many years fighting with us on this road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hankhatesyouall 2,731 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I mean, she clearly doesn't deserve this award since she did absolutely nothing for the LGBT community apart from releasing that cringy video. However, considering that GLAAD decided to award Beyonce and Jay-Z, out of all people, I will not be shocked if Eminem will be named the next gay icon in 2021.

StrawberryBlond 14,903 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 It feels like they're just awarding her because she mentioned them in the song and she's one of the biggest names who featured the LGBT community in a recent video. It just seems a very commercial choice that takes down their credibility. Taylor only started being pro-LGBT a matter of months ago and it would be better to see it go to someone who's made thehier a stance a bit clearer for longer. ToddintheShadows said it best: "It is 2019. Most of her peers were out on the front lines long before this. And even football teams do Pride events now. She has nothing to lose and everything to gain by speaking up now, so if people are suspicious of her motives, I don't blame them. You can hardly call this a brave stance."

Magui 2,629 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Idk honestly... I think there are people that deserve that award by far. But you know the award scene is what it is and Taylor is the figure to be recognize lately. Good for her. And maybe in the future she will be able to work and show that she is more deserving of such recognition. She showed a bit with that video and her lately political and social opinions so hope that she will continue to do more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was my thought too at first. But they awarded Bey and Jay last year too so. Not surprised. Does it matter? Damage is done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is presented to a member of the entertainment community who does not identify as LGBT but who has made a significant difference in promoting equal rights for LGBT people.

Ziggy 11,944 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Corporate gay organization gives corporate gay pr queen a prize. a headline. Jokes aside, I don't think they know what the word vanguard means if they're giving this to her lol She hopped on the queer money gravy train when that pot was hot and took seconds. That's not to say that what she did wasn't helpful of beneficial, but I sincerely cannot think of one thing that she did beyond this last year for the queer community. I would think vanguard is an award given to someone with a legacy in something in this case queer activism, something she absolutely has *avoided* doing before this era. This is also a celebrity prize so it isn't like they'd give it to someone who might be more deserving but less famous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
