the tea is if Halsey’s performance on The Voice was with a man all of the homophobic people that are making negative comments right now would most likely be praising her performance and wouldn’t say that it isn’t family friendly

To all those claiming their disappointment with Halsey’s performance on The Voice isn’t homophobic: so long as your response to a heterosexual pair doing the same wouldn’t be “omg they have such chemistry, that was sooooo good!” I MIGHT believe you. Might. Otherwise, have a seat.

Men are rubbing their hands all over women on performance reality shows all the time & the most you hear was “ohhh that was a little risqué!”, usually in a positive “ohhhh, daring, we like it!” way. Just because two women are doing the same doesn’t make it troublesome? I’m?

Thank you! You might be getting hate bc of this performance, but let me just tell you, you absolutely raised the bar and allowed the LGBT community’s voice to be heard❤️ all of these people are complaining about two girls as a couple, yet stay silent when it’s a straight couple🙄
