The LGBTQ+ community has been breaking gender norms in the hip-hop world since the 80s, but expressing their sexuality through the beat has always been a battle.
Some performers say they've had to deal with harassment and misconceptions about their sexual identities not only from the fans, but within the music industry.
Saucy Santana, whose real name is Justin Harris, said he had no fear that he and his acts, which include very explicit sexual lyrics and imagery, would be rejected by the hip-hop community.The rapper also shared that he uses his personal experiences growing up with mainly women to relate to others saying, "I rap from a female standpoint.
In the 2000s, "bounce" style hip-hop grew in popularity in New Orleans and spotlighted LGBTQ++ artists like Big Freedia, Kehrer said. Snow Tha Product, a bisexual Mexican-American rapper, told ABC News Live that she hears about negative connotations and comments about open queer sexuality from some within the industry, particularly towards women rappers.
