My view is Kevin acting surprised Lil Nas X would announce he is gay is, as folks have said, gaslighting, because he should know thanks to his controversy how difficult things still are for gay folks in America, and yes as Nas implied add an extra layer for gay folks who are also black.

Maybe folks in thread are right, and maybe Kevin acting surprised was an act he was putting on to get some good press given his controversy but he still deserves the heat he’s getting because we don’t know either way if he’s genuinely gaslighting or if he’s just trying to maneuver some good PR.

Honestly neither option is as good as just plain being a genuinely good as person who is accepting of people no matter how they sexually identify, no tricks or stunts at all, which it doesn’t seem like Kevin is capable.
