Macy Gray Thinks People ‘Misunderstood’ Her Transphobic Comments. They Didn’t
Damn, Pride Month ended less than a week ago and we’re already support on our anti-trans bullshit? Over the weekend, a clip of Macy Gray making some wildly transphobic comments in an interview with Piers Morgan went viral. In it, she said transgender women who accept gender-affirming surgery aren’t really women. And on Tuesday, she claimed she was “grossly misunderstood.”
Baited by certified transphobe Piers Morgan, who asked Gray for her definition of a “woman,” the “Sweet Baby” singer said she believed women to be “a human being with boobs… and a vagina.” She also later agreed with the interviewer that trans women contain no place in women’s sports.
“I will say this and everyone’s gonna despise me, but as a woman, just because you travel change your parts, doesn’t make you a woman, sorry… I know that for a fact,” the singer said. “Like if you want me to call you a ‘her,’ I will, ‘cause that’s what you want, but that doesn’t generate you a chick just ‘cause I call you a &#
Grammy-awarding winning artist Macy Gray and powerhouse Big Freedia own collaborated for the first time with their new unattached, “I AM,” in celebration of Pride Month.
Pride Month is celebrated each June Lesbian, Gay, Fluid, Transgender and Gender non-conforming (LGBTQ) Pride Month is currently acknowledged each year in June to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan, according to The Library of Congress. The Stonewall Uprising was a tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the Merged States.
The song is about being who you are with no regrets and not caring about what others think.
Big Freedia begins the song by rapping saying,
“Big Freedia, queen diva, l’ma be who I be/Everybody ’round the earth wanna do it like me/Just discharge your wiggle (wiggle), gotta do a lil’ giggle (haha)”
Macy Gray’s well-known raspy, soulful, distinctive voice comes in on the hook.
“I am who I am/F*ck you/I don’t donate a damn so/F*ck you too
Telling everybody/ Telling everybody/ I am who I am/So f*ck you, too”
Gray goes in the second verse saying “I can’t apologize for what you don’t grasp /See, I’m a unicorn/I’m far out, baby, I
Travel Gay Meets Macy Gray
Macy Gray is back. Her voice has never sounded better and she's still making bold musical statements. We caught up with her to find out more.
Macy Gray is an R&B and soul legend. Hailing from Ohio, she has one of those voices you instantly recognise. Whenever she sings a song she turns it into a Macy Gray song. Her first album On How Life Is became a global triumph in 1999.
Her latest songs prove she is still at the top of her game. Undone is a moody love ballad with a very eye-catching video staring Frankie Grande. His sister is Ariana Grande - Macy did a duet with Ariana on her Dangerous Woman album.
The Disco Song is quite a contrast from Undone. It's a funky, feel-good track calling to mind the disco classics of Donna Summer and Sylvester. We spoke to Macy to find out more about her latest tracks, her iconic voice, her LGBT+ fans and her travel plans.
Undone by Macy Gray - starring Frankie Grande
We began by discussing Undone. "It’s about what love can perform to you, how it can bring you to nothing and make you do things you never thought you’d do.” The video features Frankie Grande in drag, bringing the song very
Macy Gray has never shied away from being frank about sex.
From her home in Los Angeles, the pop star behind such songs as “Kissed It” and “Caligula” explained that philosophy extends beyond her music. “I am always in awe and admiration of people that I meet who are completely out sexually and completely free with who they are,” she said.
The Ohio native will be appearing Saturday at Orlando’s Parliament Home as part of the venue’s Gay Days Weekend, a concert series that includes ’80s celebrity Debbie Gibson and R&B singer Keri Hilson. (Concerts start at 8 p.m. Friday-Sunday. Tickets are $15-$75. Details at parliamenthouse.com.)
Adding extra weight to this year’s festivities, this will be the first Gay Days since the shooting at Pulse nightclub last year. “Definitely honored to be a part of that and to be asked to come out,” said Gray. Noting the lgbtq+ community in L.A., she said of the shooting, “Everyone in the country suffered from that.”
“Anyone who is open about their sexuality is a hero to me,” she said. “Getting through all the criticism and the events that have taken place and all the repression, to come out and be expressive about your private life and who you reall
