    I kind of disagree that Lil Nax X's video is petty. It's a smart, heartfelt rejection of Christian homophobia and the way it blights the lives of Black queer people in particular.https://twitter.com/morrisonsdm/status/1376385698002038785 …

    Noah Berlatsky added,

    Stephen D. Morrison @morrisonsdm
    American evangelicalism demonizes petty cultural images such as Lil Nas X's video because then they do not have to actually engage in substantial, material criticism of American society and its unchristian devotion to mammon. https://twitter.com/TheKomradeKenny/status/1376267792945721351 …

        like, I'm all for criticizing American society for being capitalist, but criticizing it for being homophobic is also important, not petty, imo.

        one way homophobia works is that the concerns and art of queer people are labeled as trivial or shallow. fwiw.

        Replying to @nberlat

        especially in the context of the letter he posted to his younger self and the things he's been saying about the self-loathing and religious trauma he's faced - it's an incredibly sincere reaction to constantly being put down and choosing to overcome and take power over that

        I agree with you. I wasn't trying to say the video itself was petty but that the way evangelicals always fixate on symbols > substance is. I absolutely appreciated the critique of Christian homophobia it put forward.
