Kissing Girls
With her new single, “Kissing Girls,” Heather Mae boldly shares her journey of self-discovery, offering a powerful narrative for countless queer individuals who have grappled with their identity, particularly those from conservative backgrounds. The song is a poignant reflection on Mae’s early experiences, from the exhilaration of first love to the heart-wrenching pain of internalized homophobia.
Growing up in church and the evangelical movement, the only representation of LGBTQ+ people that I was familiar with were the kids who got kicked out for being queer. Even though my first crush was on a girl, I hid the truth of what that meant to protect myself from losing my entire community. This is why visibility is profoundly important to me.
A bisexual love song for people who have loved or been loved by someone who was transgender. We deserve to hear our love songs on the radio, too.
