Last Friday, while some clung to screens to watch the United Stated Presidential Inaguration, music fans around the world were given a new single from one of the best alternative artists in the last few years. Troye Sivan, an Australian Singer Song writer, has wowed listeners with past hits like YOUTH and WILD feat. Alessia Cara. The Release of his music video for the song HEAVEN feat. Betty Who meant more to Sivan and his fans than just another piece of artist work being published. The singer, previously known for his YouTube Channel, has been open about his support of the LBGTQA+ community since long before his coming out and the song HEAVEN shows it loud and clear.

The video shows iconic clips of supporters and couples as well as Troye intimately clung to a mans chest. The video is a beautiful portrayal of LGBTQA+ Support, and as a member of the community I am 100% here for his video and its controversial release date. The song itself, off his Blue Neighborhood album, is the same smooth sound that Troye is known and loved for. The lyrics are gold for anyone who has ever used the religious argument against LGBTQA+ love. The line "If i'm losing a piece of me, maybe I don't want heaven" definitely resonated with me and my thoughts on the idea that LGBTQA+ people cannot go to heaven. If this is in fact true and we are not allowed to love whom ever we want to love, then I don't want any part of that. Well done, Troye and thank you.
