As a queer person, what makes you feel like you’re taking up the kind of space that makes you genuinely proud? Passing the mic, honestly. I know that’s an ironic thing to say while I’m in the middle of promoting my own book. But there came a point where I just felt like I should not be the face that people associate with Nylon. That time is over, it should be over. So I started using my position to elevate other people—whether it was people on staff, or artists, whoever—and that felt really good to me because it was like, Okay, I am a queer person who got in the door, I have a seat at the table. Now what I need to do with that seat is make more room.
Yes, that was me! I feel like that was when I knew Vogue had a lesbian writer on staff. Unfortunately, people who are not from marginalized communities often make the mistake of thinking that being a member of a community makes you an expert on all parts of that community. So the one lesbian at every company is often tasked with speaking for LGBTQ+ people as a whole. And that’s not how this works.
