You in all probability know Måneskin. Even when you have not voluntarily listened to their music, you probably noticed their efficiency eventually yr’s VMAs, and even their Eurovision look again in 2021.

At this level, the Italian rock band might be simply as well-known for his or her eccentric sense of favor, each on stage and the pink carpet — we’re speaking garters, a lot of eye make-up, and so forth. Take a look at the image beneath, you get the deal.

Two of the band’s members — Victoria De Angelis and Ethan Torchio, the primary and third folks from the left on this photograph — determine as members of the LGBTQIA+ neighborhood. The opposite two, Damiano David and Thomas Raggi, determine as straight.

Apparently, Damiano and Thomas have been accused of queerbaiting on account of their very own type decisions — a subject that the band addressed in a latest interview with the Guardian.

“There are some cases where it happens, but sometimes [the accusations are] so extreme,” Victoria mentioned. “It’s stupid for queer people, who should fight these stereotypes, to label it as this and create more hate.”

“The fact [that Raggi and David] are straight doesn’t mean they can’t wear makeup. Or heels.”

Damiano added that his and Thomas’s private expressions of favor are steadily influenced by their queer-identifying bandmates. “Everything me and Thomas do is always filtered by two people who are [queer],” he mentioned. “Of course we don’t experience the same stuff, but we live every day very closely with people from the community.”

Damiano additionally identified that they’ve obtained backlash from folks in Italy resulting from their type decisions. “We’ve always been very dividing. There are a bunch of people that love us and are very proud of what we’re doing, and then there’s a whole other part made of conservatives and traditional rock’n’roll fans and fascists that hate us with everything they’ve got.”

In brief, it looks as if Måneskin are gonna hold doing their factor, and it does not look like there’s something unsuitable with that. We’ll see what they rise up to subsequent!
