its giving "for god and the gays" lady gaga vma speech.. i bet Gaga loves her

[domocoyo]

Pop music is so back. We havent seem this much personality since the lady gaga circa 2009 era

[slushingmynoob]

as a queer kid from not the midwest but the south, she has helped me so much with my identity and just in general, she deserves this so much.

Chapel Roan is genuinely such a talented person and I’m so glad she is one of the top pop stars right now! ❤

[Suprachiasmatic]

As a former queer kid from the Midwest (and current queer adult in the Midwest), thank you Chappell. ❤

[mikewrack]

as a trans dude in the south i feel like i never see people like me in media. i know there’s a lot of us in these spaces and i definitely know some big names and characters, but compared to everything else, we’re barely mentioned. it feels nice to be acknowledged, especially by someone like her, who understands the queer experience. love love love her

[jackjaqjackjaq]

This made me weep as a 36 yo gay Midwest man so moved by someone who makes young people feel seen and safe in the spotlight. Heart warming, inspiring, touching, thankful. She’s the real deal.

Speeches that saved lives. Not kidding. "Don't ever let anyone tell you you can't be exactly who you wanna be, bitch" is the reason some queer kid decided not to give up that night. Hell, as a queer adult, Chappell's music renews my will to keep going.

[stephen_dmg]

all of the gay kids watching at home right now, i just want you to know that you are deeply loved. your value is immense. the world is better with you in it. so go out, be queer, create art, make memories, let the world know you are here. loud and proud and not going anywhere. the world needs you just as much as the world needs chappell. remember that, and it will get better. sending love ❤

[officialblimp]

SO BEYOND DESERVED. chappell roan is single handedly saving the pop music industry

[kayfitzpatrick]

This made me tear up as a queer 17 year old girl, really simple but beautiful speech 🖤

[ashleytaveras]

Thank you Chappell Roan for your inspirational speech. We love you and don't ever change. 💖👏🏻

[lavender]

AS A QUEER TRANS PERSON, THANK *YOU* QUEEN

[kathrynjck]

[pah]
