ICYMI:

The #BackstreetBoys' music raised me.

But now. one of of them capes for a president who hates everything I am.

As a Black gay teen, the #BackstreetBoys were my safe haven. 🌈🎶

Now as an adult, one of them supports a president who detests everything I am.

Brian Littrell, you’re a disappointment. And I have words.

[1] In 1999, I was one of the screaming fans in Times Square when the Backstreet Boys dropped Millennium.

For a Black, queer teen like me, they weren’t just music - they were survival. 🧵

In 1999, I screamed in Times Square for the #BackstreetBoys.

In 2021, I pained seeing one of them embrace Trump.

Next on @medium.com, I share what it’s like when your teen idol betrays the very culture that made him famous.
