Lil Nas X is by no means our first gay pop star, but when it comes to comfort and pride and being just as proudly sexual as straight people are, he might be our best. I profiled him for this week’s cover of @NYTmag nytimes.com/2021/07/07/mag…
My brain dump of inspirations for my Lil Nas X profile include: Susan Sontag, Nora Ephron, Q-Tip, Whitney Houston, @jeremyoharris, numerology, pastrami sandwiches, “juicy slices of butt,” tequila — all leading up to my central thesis: “this guy fucks” nytimes.com/2021/07/07/mag…
@jazzedloon @NYTmag Great write-up!! Also loved the casual mention of Elton John emailing you with his thoughts :-)
@jazzedloon @NYTmag my fav part is the humblebrag you slipped in
@jazzedloon @NYTmag finally got to read this and it is *spectacular* -- i wanted to underline all my favorite lines but there were so many
@jazzedloon @NYTmag I really hate having to ask, it seriously sucks, but I genuinely need the help. I was recently diagnosed with cancer and I’m trying to reach as many people as possible. Anything you can give, even a retweet is helpful and greatly appreciated. #CancerSucks gofund.me/21bf962b
