Conan gray

Lil Nas X was already unabashedly queer/gay before he started making music. He did pipe down a bit once “Old Town Road” got really big. What also helped him was that he blew up early, even before he signed to a label. Troye is not seeing a ton of success. He’s still being pushed, but the numbers aren’t there. We don’t know Conan’s situation as far as how he presented himself before breaking through, how he presents himself to his family/friends, how he feels about his dimensions, and the dimensions of his sexuality or where he is in the gender, sexual, affection, romantic, emotion, commitment spectrum.

He looks like that and claims he can't find a partner. Wow
Well actually I do think that celebs, specially those who are conventionally attractive, can have a hard time finding a partner that actually works, like, lots of people want to be with them just because they're famous and pretty so I can understand that they struggle with finding someone who actually cares for the person they really are. His physical beauty and fame may be an advantage in many ways but in the matters of love and relationships I see it as a double edged sword
 
It really doesn’t matter how he chooses to identify, I’ve identified him as pretty and boring. His music is sleepy and unexceptional but he’ll get an IG follow from me.
you did not mention that his IG stories are now about 95% pictures of coffee
 
His record label is still trying to string his almost entirely female fanbase along into thinking they have a chance with him.

Tale as old as time.

He'll come out fully when his career's on the decline and he has no one left to pander to but the gays...

I resent this type of basic perspective and one-note cynicism. Not everything public figures do is about the public. He’s also still really young. While you never know the dimensions of anyone’s sexuality, preferences, motivations, insecurities, struggles or where they are in the gender, sexual, affection, romantic attachment, emotional investment, relationship contentment, commitment spectrum.

He is likely in the queer spectrum. While some time ago he pretty much claimed that he was into girls because dudes smell bad. That let me know back then he was probably a bit of a messy, insecure queer. And it is true that many use queerness and “gays” as either a stepping stone or as a last resort but then are quick to highlight their “pride”. It all is what it is.

“He’s a disco-dancing, Oscar Wilde-reading, Streisand ticket-holding friend of Dorothy, know what I’m saying?”

 

Doesn’t mean he should feel forced or shamed into being “out”. Doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have his own dimensions or struggles as far as his sexuality, possible fluidity or contradictions, insecurities, family or sociological pressures, mental health, where he is the gender, sexual, affection, romantic, emotion, commitment spectrum. Doesn’t mean it’s okay to constantly use gay jokes to taunt.

I’ve already acknowledged that the dude is at the very least likely in the queer spectrum and that a lot of public figures (especially males) use “gays” as a life line, or they succumb to maintaining hetero appeal. Doesn’t mean that people and their particular circumstances should be broad-stroked or that being closeted should be treated as a joke.

It may be cynical but you're basically admitting it's true too. You agree he's "probably on the queer spectrum," yet he's got female romantic leads in all his music videos, playing the pronoun game in interviews, and getting paparazzi'd holding hands with Olivia Rodrigo.

How is this any different than Ricky Martin a generation before?

He's on a major record label chasing that teen girl coin. That's all it comes down to.
