Wow 😳 Good enough to have queers in your number but not good enough for the after party pic.twitter.com/bgHiMbjZS4

sick of queers being used for profit from celebrities and major brands/ publications. I wonder if these queens got paid...anything

— Violet Chachki (@VioletChachki) May 23, 2017

The way society is set up makes these "opportunities" seem like a good idea for queers. Its so sad. Speaking from experience here.

— Violet Chachki (@VioletChachki) May 23, 2017

Good enough to have on stage? Good enough to get paid! Good enough for the after party! Good enough for viral video? Good enough for print!

ICYMI: Migos is homophobic and didn't want to appear on SNL next to drag queens. In response, Katy Perry stood up for the LGBT community said okay and dropped a few drag queens from the SNL live performance. None of the queens were invited to the after party.

iamamiwhoami creator and frontperson Jonna Lee has announced her second single “NOT HUMAN” under her solo name "ionnalee", coming out on June 2 via her independent label To whom it may concern.

Just like debut single SAMARITAN, the visual side of NOT HUMAN is made in alliance with Japanese fashion label COMME des GARÇONS. This time though, the song adds a new name to the usual mix: electronic artist Com Truise features as a co-writer alongside Jonna Lee herself.

Lou Reed’s friends dismiss claim that Walk on the Wild Side is transphobic https://t.co/BALCJWYwTJ

— The Guardian (@guardian) May 21, 2017

A student group in Canada made the news after apologizing for using the song "Walk on the Wild Side" at a campus event, saying that the lyrics “Holly came from Miami, FLA/ Hitchhiked her way across the USA/ Plucked her eyebrows on the way/ Shaved her legs and then he was a she/ She says, ‘Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side” were transphobic.

Hal Wilner, Reed's longtime producer, said "I don’t know if Lou would be cracking up about this or crying because it’s just too stupid. The song was a love song to all the people he knew and to New York City by a man who supported the community and the city his whole life... This song was how the world first heard about these people. It’s a song about love. What else can you say? The students should be focusing their anger on other stuff and this isn’t it.”

Jenni Muldaur, Reed's friend and occasional back-up singer, also defended him, saying “Lou was open about his complete acceptance of all creatures of the night. That’s what that song’s about. Everyone doing their thing, taking a walk on the wild side. I can’t imagine how anyone could conceive of that. The album was called Transformer. What do they think it’s about?”
