 SAM SMITH DISCOVERED AS ANTI-LGBTQ


In mid-October 2019, the debate surrounding the British artist Sam Smith became a worldwide matter when a homophobic comment came out of his mount and went viral. The famous singer—and songwriter—of 28 years was "drunk and tired" when he said the declaration affirms his social media representative. But the discussion is more significant than that.


    A reliable source inside his personal team, who would be laid off after publicly exposing his thoughts, critiqued how the singer "evades each question with lies and 'friendly words.'"

  

    According to the former employee, being part of the LGBTQ community was part of the artist's marketing campaign and top priority since the beginning.


    "The gay community is one of the strongest globally; they buy everything they think is different and unique. At the same time, I can instantly increase my reputation and fame." the artist murmured in a personal conversation while a hidden camera of his staff recorded it. "In every song that I have mentioned the words: gay, lesbian, queer, and so on, the platform's traffic was immense."  


    Unfortunately for him, in the same video, he revealed that his decision to make his popularity bigger and gain more followers at any cost was accurate. 


    LGBTQ activists from around the world said they were not satisfied by how the alleged artist Samuel Frederick Smith used them to make his label richer. "I like to be treated as a person, not as an object, thank you, Sam. I know I am not #TheOnlyOne," posted an angry follower on Twitter. 


    Meanwhile, in the United States, a trend was forming around the same issue. The previously mentioned hashtag "#TheOnlyOne" quickly became national. In a matter of an hour, thousands of people were ready to head out to the streets to express concern about this generalized behavior throughout the musical environment. 


    Ricardo Cid, a close fan of the artist since 2014, shared on social media than: "I do think he used us. He has no values or interest in our movement. Even though he wrote a song where saying 'I don't have money on my mind.'" 


    All the comments related to the subject had at least a verse of Sam's music, making reference to other of the artist's famous songs. The most quoted, however, were: 

  • I'm not the only one
  • Promises
  • Money on my mind, and 
  • No peace.

    Before finishing, I confess I thought "tabloid" was a type of flyer or poster you can hang around the city—due to its literal translation in Spanish and French. Consequently, I made a completely different story about it—by mistake. Moreover, I must acknowledge I am a great fan of Sam and his work. His music has been my reliable partner for years, and today, I was listening to him while writing this.

📌 Am I an artist?

Am I an artist?  " I guess no because I don't understand a thing when looking at a piece of art." That was the answer I gave myself every time I entered a museum. Does that mean I was insecure? Well, not exactly. I was overwhelmed.   So many techniques, periods, movements, and terms made me feel sick and weak . Art is hard! I didn't study art history or anything related, but I wanted to enjoy random sculptures and artworks. Then I thought, " that had to change."  I needed a  guide   easy to read, but I wanted to create it from scratch. One   day, I took my laptop, a bunch of white sheets and started asking questions to myself. Yes, from the basics like:  What is this?  What do you represent?  How many people painted you? What is the title?   Then, I questioned myself about the moment being there (in the Museum or Gallery). This is what I found: Do the shoes I use when visiting influence my experience?  Should I know the artist be...

🌠 Emma

"Write about one fear and turn it into a character." Everything started a cloudy morning in March. Moisture around the place provoked me to sneeze and wake up. I was sat in an enclosed room. Perhaps it was the living room. I got rid of the humid bindings covering my eyes. Nothing seemed to have life inside that negative space until the sound of two flies flying around gave me the notion of freedom. Somehow their movements were rhythmic symphonies. I still don't realize how I got there. The floor was jammed-packed with untied boots, and the walls were all coat-colored. For a moment, I thought I was dreaming. My weak back felt the pressure of gravity more than ever.       And Emma was there, leaning forward, looking strong, alive, persuasive, and also, methodical. Hatred was the first sentiment I experienced the moment I looked at her black-in-black eyes. Her right arm placed over her right knee added to the way she was staring at me, paralyzed the time.  She poin...

🌱 Evaluate

  "Evaluate your progress, so far ." I think I'm still trying to figure out how I should write my articles—I mean, informal, or more formal?      I've learned several things I didn't know I could do in the past weeks. Like leaving my feelings and thoughts arrive before my critical mind or understand what an Oxford comma is. Namely, I noticed my mind and way of being are further interested in academic writing. However, today's text will be more  street,  also general .        I do believe today I'm a better writer, or at least, I write more confidently. For instance, yesterday, I received a topic and instantly perceived what to tell, and in the past week, I have felt that feeling other times—with just one exception, my 9th day called, "Something about teaching" that even made me sweat.       I've been reading many science-fiction books like Ready Player One, Dure, or the Narnia Series the last few months. While r...
