Representations of queer relationships have come a long way in recent years. Whether it's through music, television, film or video games, long gone are the days when an LGBTQ+ character only had visibility in the prism of a coming-out storyline. London-based musician Alekxandr wants to take this one step further by putting aside the young, fancy-free and sassy gay stereotype and directing the spotlight on LGBTQ+ romance between people over sixty.
That's why the singer felt so passionately about including this relationship in his music video."I've never seen that in a music video, or ever. Having older gay people in a romance felt like the perfect juxtaposition of the purpose of the song, which is a more youthful, shallow love. It was interesting having some people who had been in relationships for years and some people who had met that day.
Queer or not, relationships are complicated, and if we as a society were given a truer picture of romance from an early age, expectations for others might be more realistic."Of course, you fancy each other when you're in the woods when you see them that one time, but how do you feel about them when they're at the breakfast table or busy at work? That kind of story would be so refreshing.
