      I was listening to "Bloom" tonight, and it hit me: I'd been hearing echoes of "Tenderest Moments" — an Erasure song that I'd fallen in love with back when I was, myself, a twink — in Troye Sivan's new song.pic.twitter.com/gVTK4yZvkA

      "Tenderest Moments" was this beautiful, gentle song that wasn't even on an Erasure album initially. It was a B-side, the extra song they put on the singles. I loved Erasure, so I always bought the singles. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLrACkBZwAw …pic.twitter.com/VKdF3PEo2r

          According to the internet — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run_to_the_Sun … — "Tenderest Moments" was released in the summer of 1994. I wouldn't have discovered it until a few years later, probably 1997, at one of the record stores right in Dupont Circle, where I used to buy my music while in college.

          A girl on my floor in college introduced me to Erasure as soon as I got to AU in 1995 — before I was out to her, I'd add. (She knew.) I'd listened to George Michael before, but Erasure was the first music that I ~thought about~ as gay music when I was listening to it.

          I didn't get to read stories about how it was about gay sex and my friends weren't talking about how it was a bottoming anthem, as with "Bloom," but I knew that "Tenderest Moments" captured a gay moment in song that I never thought I'd hear expressed in music.

          It's wonderful that we are, now, able to have these conversations — and that people like Troye, at 22, can talk about nervous teens who he can help: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/10/arts/music/troye-sivan-bloom.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur … — but ...pic.twitter.com/X55Y6H1JFK

          ... it's also sort of great to see and think a bit about how it'a not totally new and how something similar existed before this, even if we gay people were living our lives in different ways and had different expectations for ourselves and the world around us at that point.

          tl;dr: Love it all. Queer music is awesome. For my part, I'm looking forward to seeing Erasure when they're in town this summer (and Janelle Monáe the same weekend, just to keep it as queer as humanly possible). ❤️💛💚💙💜

          Sure, but, for multiple reasons, that's not what I'm talking about here. That was much later, and it's very different.

          💕Erasure!💕 I went to a little boarding school and had to wait almost a month for the special order tape to come in. (The Innocents.) Then I almost got kicked out of for lying about my wkend plans & I flying standby to see them play in a Houston club. Good memories. Thanks!🐘
