how chappell roan’s actions contradict her queer identity

I've watched several of Chappell Roan’s interviews, and every time she talks about the queer community, it feels off, almost forced. There’s something about the way she presents herself as a lesbian that doesn’t fully add up.

For example, she refused to endorse Kamala Harris, despite knowing how crucial it is for the queer community to have influential figures speak out against Trump, a man who has made it clear he despises trans people, drag performers, and the LGBTQ+ community as a whole.

For someone who claims to be a lesbian, she seemed completely indifferent to that reality. Any lesbian—or really, anyone in the LGBTQ+ community tbh—knows how incredibly difficult it is to exist in a world that constantly judges and marginalizes us. But she doesn’t seem to acknowledge that struggle. Instead, it feels like she only represents the parts of queerness that benefit her.

She calls herself a "drag" performer, but drag is inherently political—not just an aesthetic. Yet, she treats it like a costume, showing no real connection to its deeper meaning or the community.

Sorry, but I have to bring it up again....she only cares about the aesthetic of it!!!!!!!

She couldn’t EVEN condemn Trump, a man who outright claims that drag performers are DANGEROUS. If she truly understood that drag is more than just a look—that it’s a political act, a form of resistance—she wouldn’t stay silent when it matters most, and thats on PERIOD

She brings up her exes in almost every interview—it's like, seriously, move on already! anyway, she even said in a recent interview (from yesterday) that she "loves men" and that country boys have treated her "the best and the worst." She also said that she openly listens to Jason Aldean, a MAGA supporter who has made numerous inflammatory, anti-LGBTQ+ remarks. It's beyond frustrating how someone who claims to represent the lesbian community can completely ignore it.

Also, every time I hear her mention trans rights in an interview, I just roll my FUCKING eyes. It’s so hypocritical!!!!!!!!!! How can she claim to support trans rights when, at a time when the community needs it the most, she stays SILENT? Trans people are being killed, I REPEAT KILLED, fired, and facing horrible discrimination because of the current political climate.

• Honestly, from the bottom of my heart, I hope the LGBTQIA+ community sees through her fake activism. I really hope they don’t let her off the hook or forget to call her out, because it's clear she's using this for her image, not for real change.

ALSO, despite all her success and platform, she’s never once acknowledged or expressed gratitude to lesbians, the very community she claims to belong to. Make it make sense.

The way she approaches her queerness feels largely performative, as if she's more focused on maintaining an image than genuinely embracing or advocating for the identity she claims.

True queer ppl get that our identities and politics are deeply connected. We face judgment every day and understand how vital activism is in protecting our rights. If someone who claims to be queer says they don’t care about that, they’re either too ignorant to see the reality or aren’t truly part of the community.
