Is Taylor Swift a true ally or is she just using Pride to sell albums? In this episode we take a look at Taylor's controversial new single "You Need to Calm Down" and its related video. Is it a genuine, albeit clumsy attempt to show support for the LGBTQ community? Or is it merely a straight cis person trying to use Pride to sell more records? Be sure to check out the New York Times article "Is Ego Stronger than Pride?" The Onion's "Taylor Swift Inspires Teen to Come Out as Straight Woman Needing To Be At Center of Gay Rights Narrative." Check out Kendall Jenner's tasteless and out of touch Pepsi commercial from a couple years ago. Lastly, be sure and check out Taylor Swift's amazing testimony when she called out the person who sexually assaulted her.  Support us on Patreon to help us keep making great content, and to get some cool rewards—like drinks with us at Stonewall Inn!
