    Hey, I'm Jay. I'm a lesbian with she/her pronouns. I like writing and history (right now my reading list is all LGBT books), and I'm also interested in theater. Currently trying to start a GSA at school.
    My immediate family is supportive, but I'm not out to the rest of the family.
    I love the musical stylings of Hayley Kioyko, Halsey, Kat Cunning, and dodie, if you want to chat about that!
    Thanks for paying attention to me!

    -Jay :slight_smile:

    Hi and welcome @JayBird ! I recently discovered dodie’s music, but I haven’t yet listened to those other musicians. Good luck with the GSA!

    Thanks Avian! I saw Kat Cunning at pride and discovered her music afterwards. She's like a more mature dodie, so if you're into that, you'll probably like her.

    Hey Jay and welcome! I’m glad that your immediate family is supportive of you and I hope anyone else you come out to is supportive as well. Good luck with creating the GSA! (And with writing the school play you mentioned.)

    Hy

    Hey. I’m into Heathers and Be More Chill, as well as Hamilton. There’s also the assortment of other ones, but those are the biggest ones. I’m going to see Hamilton this September. Are you in the same boat as me?

    I really like the musical influences in Hamilton. The combination of current hip-hop styles and the original style of rap (just storytelling over beats). And Heathers is full of 80s inspired rock and pop.
    There's a Hamilton show in London, if that's accessible for you, and ticket raffles are a good bet for getting tickets at a lowered price.

    A Hayley Kiyoko fan. That's something we agree on. What is your favourite song of hers?

    I like Gravel to Tempo. The MV is awesome as well. I also like Curious. She's just awesome and such an advocate for our community. And her songs are catchy as hell.

    I like those ones too. It's hard to pick a favorite song of hers. And her advocacy is wicked! Do you like any other music? (which you obviously must but that was more direct in asking what else you listen to :slight_smile: )

    I do like other music. Currently, I'm enjoying Kehlani and I've always enjoyed liatening to Lauren Jauegui from Fifth Harmony so waiting to see what she is like as a soloist. I saw that you like Halsey. Have you heard her collab with Lauren on a song called Strangers?
