One of the most fortuitous scenes in docu Paris Is Burning<\/strong><\/a> is where Dorian Corey<\/strong><\/a> says, “In a ballroom you can be anything you want. You\u2019re not really an executive, but you\u2019re looking like an executive, and therefore, you\u2019re showing the straight world I can be an executive.” This has become sort of the mapping for millennials. Creating your own narrative or branding seems to be more the look<\/em> than putting in real work. In the video for Telephone<\/em>, the debut single from Atlanta-based rapper\u00a0Z\u00e9<\/strong><\/a>, masculinity and stereotypes of gay men are examined, where\u00a0Z\u00e9 shows that you can be black, effeminate and wear glitter, and still be a badass rapper and fire lyricist, traits usually associated with heteronormative programming….after all, we’re all just part of the same game…where everything is magic, except the magician<\/em>!
