I usually let things like this pass without speaking up about it. For two years I’ve trudged through it all with a smile, so hopefully I’ll get a pass for speaking up on my behalf this time.
It would be nice if any other aspect of my life/work as an artist/advocate got a fraction of the press I get for wearing a bathing suit by gay media.
And no, this is not a “message to the ‘haters,'” but a message for those at all interested in what I have to say about me.
I have carved a unique path for myself as an artist/performer. My album debuted at #3 on Billboard‘s Independent Albums Chart last March. I’ve performed on National TV & in front of live audiences all over the world. I ran the most successful music Kickstarter campaign by an artist never signed on a label. I broke download records on bandcamp.com for my first song without management or a label. I’ve been sent overseas by the U.S. State department where I spoke out for LGBTQ rights and gave master classes to music students about the business from the perspective of an Independent artist. I’ve done more benefit concerts for the community than I can remember. I travel with live musicians despite it being far less profitable so that my fans get the very best show from me. I’ve never not stopped to take a picture with a fan, even when my meet and greets go beyond 2 hours. I’ve been so fortunate to connect with people in the very unique and special ways only singer/songwriters can and am forever grateful to my fans who have made it all possible! And I continue to invest every last cent into my work to the point of my own personal and financial detriment.
And a few more random thoughts…
Outside of my work as an artist/performer/advocate, I am a colorful, complex, deeply flawed, ever-evolving young man just happy to barely make enough doing what I love to get by. I am most energized when I am performing live, but other times, I would do just about anything to be invisible. I am nuanced, sensitive, and reflective, but on stage I am loud, confident, and in control. I am not simple. I am layers of apparent contradictions. I struggle in silence from crippling anxiety and depression that sometimes keeps me from leaving my bed altogether, but I also enjoy moments of incredible lightness and freedom. Nothing about me is black and white. I am every clashing, screaming color of intensity. I don’t believe in god, but I believe that human connection can be so powerful, it can feel supernatural. My capacity to love deeply is mirrored only by my ability to hurt and feel pain. I hate being made to feel like a victim but even more, hate to feel misunderstood. I feel so much compassion for my LGBTQ brothers and sisters, many of whom are damaged in all kinds of ways from the world we were brought up in, but I feel so much anger for the way I see how quick we are to judge and hurt one another. I have worked very hard for many years to do what I do, but I also recognize I have been very privileged in many ways. I love learning about the universe because it makes my life and my life’s respective worries and fears seem so small and insignificant. I don’t believe any person is any better or worse than the next. I wish want to find some peace and relief in this life that can often be so senselessly cruel.
Thank you for your continued love and support and for making all of this possible to begin with. Forever grateful to each and every one of you.”

— Out musician Steve Grand in a message posted to his Facebook page in response to the attention he received over this photo
sportyguy1983
If You want to be taken serious as a musician, then work more on your mediocre singing voice and focus less on posting pictures of yourself half naked (or just plain naked with your hand strategically covering your junk).
Christopher Leiva
How about we pay equal attention? ð???ð???
DC Sheehan
Okay.
Bob Rimac
Then take the underwear off!
Bryan T. Clark
I can multitask well
gaypalmsprings
I’m sorry Steve is depressed about his body. It’s typical of gay men to seek perfection – 99.9% of us wish we looked like Steve – but he is still depressed and filled with anxiety. He is not alone. Maybe one day he will be happy in both roles as a gay sex symbol and a geniously talented singer and songwriter. I am neither, but wish I was. Meanwhile, I enjoy listening to and watching Steve.
Lewis Kinslayer
I don’t know about anybody else but I listen with my ears and see with my eyes so I can easily do both.
Ladbrook
Translation:
Thanks for checking out all of my R-rated pics that I personally posed for and often posted for the purpose of getting your attention. I love being a C-list gay celeb, but in all honesty, I’d rather you guys download my music so I can make some legit cash, preferably on one of those pay download sites. kthnxby!
Kyle L. Gorzynski
But his underwear is soooo much better than his music.
Kevin Davis
Gotta love the gays. They take naked or half naked pictures of themselves on all fours with their ass in the air while simultaneously shouting “don’t look at me”
Brian Johnson-Frazier
Then quit being a slut and actually wear clothes.
Chad T. Bellone
So stop posing in f**king underwear
Daniel Bujes
I dunno what to make of this guy.
While I understand and appreciate what he is trying to say. It’s a little disingenuous when half your self promotion involves getting half naked on IG or YouTube.
You can’t objectify yourself then complain when people agree to do the same. Maybe, keep doing the meaningful work and let the selfies fade a bit. If you promote your other aspects more than showcase your body, eventually people will make the switch and the speedos pics can be an ocassional “treat”
TimF
1) he had been a model long before his music career took off. He was on the cover of DNA 127. Many articles in the gay press continue to use those pics from long ago.
2) this article has pretty much included every shirtless pic since his music success.
asking the gay press to just now and then use pics of him actually performing music when they write about his music career is not hypocritical.
Nicholas Wozniak
With all visual or musical artists any publicity is good publicity (even negative attention increases sales). Putting sexy images out there for the public was not a mistake but rather a calculated method of attracting attention. Let’s be real…everyone wants to make money.
Hawg G Wilde
Flash in the panties
Mykaels
It’s a give and take that many artists have to endure: they work hard on being an artist, but then only get attention based on looks. Dolly Parton cannot promote a new show, album, or movie appearance without talking about plastic surgery. Women nominated for an academy award are asked only about their outfit and the pressures of being a mom and actress, never about their method or craft.
Cesar Fortun
Then stop being an exhibitionist and just keep on singing.
Or might as well sing in the nude to enhance your voice.
Edson Mejia
Lol this guy. Not even Channing Tatum asks for that. Make him land on earth
Timothy Kender.
Well if he wouldn’t wear them, I just might!
Xzamilio
Well, you heard him, Queerty… only showcase his music. And then let’s see how long it is before he’s back in skivvies or “leaked” nude photos of him start circulating on Tumblr.
@Mykaels: First of all, Dolly Parton is a cultural icon who made a name for herself far beyond those big ole breasts of hers. Her songs play on the radio just fine without having to see the image behind it. I’m afraid Steve Grand only has an image because his music hardly up there, and his being gay has nothing to do with it.
Now, he can wear and present himself any way he wants, but there’s a limit to how far you put yourself out there and then try to pull it back in when what you portray overshadows what you REALLY want the masses to see.
Greg Morris
I will do both.. at the same time. #KThnxBai
Jeff Rice
Then stop being photographed in your underwear!
Rational
I totally agree with sportyguy1983. If he’s depressed as gaypalmsprings says, I’d guess it’s anger that he hasn’t kept his body in the same condition as it was in his modeling days (This is often called…getting older). If his recording career hasn’t taken off, it seems he just takes off some clothing to get us to pay attention to him…but that’s not his music…and it’s not as attention grabbing as the modeling days pics are either.
Emery Biggar
Then he should stop posting pictures of himself nude or in underwear and post music videos. Duh!
notevenwrong
Ridiculous complaint from someone who cries out for semi-naked attention at every turn. There is nothing wrong with being an exhibitionist, as long as you man up and own it.
BlackBanshee
Hahahaha! I saw him last week in Baltimore and suddenly realized why I never paid attention to his music at all… dude is even hotter in person!!
His perfect white bubble butt in those black jeans he wore… naaah his music can never beat that!

lauraspencer
@sportyguy1983:
You said it! Concentrate on voice lessons and writing music and not marketing yourself so much then maybe he will improve.
I get tired of these artists (Adam Lambert, Mika, Rufus Wainwright) included thinking that just because they are LGBT that we are supposed to like their music and support their careers. We all go to work and not every LGBT person supports our work.
I also think Grand suffers a bit from the millennial malaise. He has spent a lot of time on facebook, instagram, twitter, et. al. in his 25 years and he thinks that at 25 he should be a star. You have to work and be patient. For every Taylor Swift there are 20 Bonnie Raitt’s who don’t get fame until later in life. Keep working hard and maybe you will make it. Also, your career should be about your own personal fulfillment and NOT fame and money. It is sad to read that he has done so many cool things with his career, yet he values popularity more.
Jaden Birns
Sorry, sex sells Steve. Every one of your peers knows that. It’s not a bad thing.
Mark Reimer
The problem is: His underwear is MUCH more appealing than his “music”.
Nathan Handy
Someone wants more attention. I didn’t care then and don’t care now. Vanity & social media is boring. Yawn.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Lordy, the BOQB* is out in force on this thread, slamming a talented artist who happens to be pretty damm hawt that had the balls to come out and not be photographed with his “current girlfriend” and deny the obvious as he emerges and attempts to become successful…….

stevegrandmusic
I copied most of this from my response to Queerty on twitter so excuse the structure.
.@Queerty no I want YOU to stop ONLY posting the handful of half naked pictures of me taken over the last 6 years to get your page clicks
I’ve taken thousands of photos fully clothed over the last years. only 1% of my posts (on Insta) show my bare chest. There’s a time a place for that.. but EVERY time?
it is sites like YOURS that create the impression that I am always shoving sex in people’s faces. When in fact it’s a small fraction of the time. I have enough to work against. It sucks that gay media makes it all the more difficult.
and even now you’re doing the same thing in this post. To make me look like a hypocrite.|
Shame on you for creating senseless division within this community that already faces enough from the outside world. You would tank a struggling artist’s career if it would get u a couple page clicks.Utterly shameful
you have been trying to sink me since before I even started to climb. I’ve been silent 4 2 years of this & I’ve had it. Shame on u
you are as trashy as the worse tabloids but u are even WORSE than them because you go after people without power or money (myself)
I should be able to post a shirtless pic here and there (1% of my Instagram) without it being the ONLY way you represent me.
all publicity is NOT good publicity.
If you can’t post about me in a way that even comes close to resenting me on the whole (cont)then I’d rather you not bother at all. Nick Jonas and Zac Efron flaunt their bodies WAY more than I do and are not treated this way.
There is nothing wrong with the pictures of me that are out there. I am not ashamed. I am a young man and SOMETIMES like to show my body like most all of us young men do. But you create this weird dynamic where you slut-shame as you simultaneously fawn over a young man. It is very bizarre and worse, it sends a toxic message to young people still coming to terms with their sexuality. Haven’t gay men been taught to feel enough shame about their sexuality?
#getyourshittogether #stopdividingus
I know I’ll get accused of whining and being a hypocrite. And I know I’m suppose to shut up and never stick up for myself. And I know I “brought in on myself” and I should have just known when I was a 19 year old student putting myself through college that I shouldn’t have posed in those kinds of photos (because none of you have ever made questionable choices when you were 19, right?) But I’m just a guy as flawed as all the rest of you. I’m not rich and famous. I just want to make music, play it for my fans, and yeah, sometimes have fun on a boat in a speedo and share some of those moments with my fans who have been so supportive.
Okay, internet. Do what you do to people who dare to speak up for themselves. Fire away.
Michael Haynes
ok I will as long as he performs in his underwear

“It would be nice if any other aspect of my life/work as an artist/advocate got a fraction of the press I get for wearing a bathing suit by gay media.”
Maybe spend a little less time selling your ass in underwear then. I’m sure there’s allot of musicians who don’t get a fraction of the attention and we all know why.
I couldn’t read the rest of it. You sound so effing smug and in love with yourself.
Billy Budd
I think he is cute and I like the fact that he does not believe in a god. He is nice.

@stevegrandmusic: Dude. All you have to do is use google and it’s you in 99% underwear shots. Maybe you should go after Google too. Seems that you’ve been more then happy to use it to get attention and now your protesting about the injustice of it all when people use the pics. Oh vey.
Curty
Stop taking pics of you shirtless with that hot body and in your underwear dude… with a guy this good looking and hot body taking pics like that everyone is going to remember you for that, not your music. It was him taking all these risque pics. Showing his butt and body…
Rick Gillum
Had you not posted pictures of yourself in your panties and whined about it. I would have no idea who the hell you even are. You have a attractive face but if your trying to get famous on your ass I just think Kardashian. Like we need another one of those.

So many judges commenting here. The majority are simple hypocrites since I am sure they would get upset if a photo of them was circulating the internet that people defined them by even when it would not be true. The gay community has always fought against being identified as only sexual people when we have so much more to offer the world than simply being known as sluts. I myself have had some nude shots done but do not want to be know for only that as there is so much more to me than that. Steve is a wonderful human being if anyone actually took a minute from their judgemental keyboards and took that time to get to know him. If we can’t support our own diverse community, flaws and quirks included, then what chance do we have? The golden rule applies here: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. By the look of most of the comments here, a lot of people want to be treated like crap.
bbg372
Which Steve? Starchild, Grand, or Chatham?
FD
Did anyone else notice how he always tags HIMSELF in his Instagram photos? Like dude, we know it’s you. What a narcissist bitch lol
Chico
@stevegrandmusic: do what you want. I enjoy your music. Yes, your pictures are nice to look at. As long as they are posted with your knowledge and consent, more power to you.
And ‘slut shaming’ someone because they have a lot of pictures sans clothes is stupid. Why not appreciate and embrace our naked bodies instead of feeding into the societal idea of ‘ew! He’s naked. Whore.’ We have enough to compete with in our lives as LGBT people, must we really add infighting to the list?
Dan Levin
Who??
Travis Cooper

Sorry Steve, but you should probably go back to modeling. Your album isn’t very good. I wanted to like it, but it truly sucks.

There is enough Hatred, Ignorance & Bullying from outside the LGBT community, we don’t need it from within.

Okay Steve, stop distracting us. But beware: if we’re not paying attention to your body, some of use may stop paying attention to you altogether.
Ivan Mora
I’ve not heard of him or his music. Is it any good? If he’s a talented musician maybe we should start listening. Man packages come a dime a dozen.
twelchmadden
If you don’t like the pictures, don’t look at them. If you don’t like the music, then don’t buy it! And quit hiding behind the keys of your keyboard. Would all of you say these things to his face? I think not! You all have seemed to have missed the point he was trying to make here. Or did you only read the title of the article and then post your rhetoric?
Just remember @stevegrandmusic for everyone of the haters there is 100 that love you
Stache99
Don’t listen to those haters Steve. They’re just all jealous of your talent. Plus, you’re HOT and that’s all that matters.
Btw. I’ve left my number on your facebook. Not sure if you got it. Just call me..please..
gro@2709
@stevegrandmusic
I really love your music. I first heard your song, “All American Boy”, and had to buy it. Then I heard your other songs and went out and purchased each and every song. You speak to a generation of young LGBTQ people of things that the bitter old queens know nothing about! Please do NOT be depressed about what the 1% of people (who, unfortunately, represent 70% of the posters here!) who really love your music and how you present to the world. Keep doing what you think is best – as several posters have said, I have ears to hear and eyes to behold and they are both agreeing: you are a real keeper with your music and voice and your body says “let’s celebrate”!
I’d also like to commend you for all your work on behalf of the LGBTQ community – your music videos are incredible in that you showcase such a broad spectrum of people and races. I shall continue purchasing your music and supporting your career. This old (60+ year old) gay man hopes you have a wonderfully successful career and you touch thousands of young people with your messages of queer acceptance and love.

Sureeeeeeeeeeee. Pay attention to my music, but I don’t have abs so…. Never mind right?? Lol http://www.iam3pm.com

It says something about the integrity of the gay media as a group that so far every one of them to have published this story has accompanied it with the very pictures Steve Grand is talking about. Clearly they have more interest in attracting as many readers as possible than in cooperating with someone they’ve helped to be a notorious public figure. Face it; when it comes to objectifying someone we’re as bad as the most vapid t&a girly magazine publishers.
Mark Stanley Bridges-Music
I can do both. I PROMISE. Give me the chance to prove it.

Well… let me backtrack a little here now the subject of the article has commented and left that very well-detailed post. But, the thirst is real with some of you, I’ll say that lol
Xzamilio
@Stache99: And YOU!! Whew, you need a case of Aquafina. Betcha wish Queerty would let you delete comments, dontcha? Went from straight up telling the dude to cover up to bobbin’ for GOP (Grand Ole Peen). No shame.

@Stache99: Bruh… I got no room to be judging anybody on here so don’t worry… I just had to jump on that opportunity to throw a lil shade
@McShane: High five right back atcha… you know I stand by my comment of how fucking hot you are, right?
STACHE!!! Give me a bottle from that case!!!!
TimF
@Stache99: Almost all the pics that come up in google are from his modeling days, long before his singing career. He never performs shirtless (always white t-shirt or plaid button down, it seems.) But there is nothing wrong with him posting pics to his social media of himself at the beach or on a boat. The gay press only using shirtless pics for click bait is the issue. Though my advice for Steve is to just ignore it. Twitter wars rarely work out.
jlm088
If I looked like that and sings that good… I would show my body too… I went out and got his cd… keep the pixs coming

@Xzamilio: You’re just a hater is all. I’ve done so much on this site and everyone else truly values my opinions. I’ve been called brilliant and artistic in my commenting.

oregonduckbrad
Oh, lord, please. Ugh. So much wrong with this. Publicity IS publicity, and he knew full well what he was getting into when 19 and posing for provocative pictures (which I happen to fully enjoy–stand behind those pics! It’s not as if you were doing porn, for christ’s sake!).
He needs to take himself less seriously, and yes, hire a damned publicist! Weighing in on a site like this to defend your career decisions, and gasp–wardrobe–makes you look small. Just sayin’…
Lastly, Queerty is in the BUSINESS of producing salacious material in the express interest of generating clicks. If you’re thinking Queerty is a charity, always sacrificing clicks for how artists are being portrayed, you are sadly mistaken. Think of them as the match. You provided the gasoline w/your previous career decisions. Don’t get mad a the match for having the ability to start a fire…
Arcamenel
He really needs a PR person and if he has one he needs to fire them and hire someone better.
Curty
Its interesting I was just looking at his hot photos yesterday. I think he’s a guy that wants it both ways, the trouble with showing off your body and taking endless risque pics of being just about naked is that’s all you will get most attention for. He knew he was doing. He did it for attention just like his music is for attention. The thing is the pics all now all over Internet and the world to see. Nothing can be done about that. I suggest to just let it go because it was his own doing. He wanted to show off that hot body, he wanted to be known as a sex symbol and have attention for that. So live with it. Maybe those other attention seeking habits weren’t in his best in the long run. Hey, at least he’ll never have to worry about getting a date…
[email protected]
All I ever wanted was to love and to care for a man, being gay sucks sometimes. My partner died 3 years ago and I still have flash backs of waking up to a dead person (not from AIDS).
It’s not the underwear im looking, its my dreams that were crushed, i dont think i lived in the same home for a year, no pitty, or empathy here I just want to die and see what I come back as, mybe a hot guy like you, im so not stuck on that anyway. When depressed your depressed. It would be so nice if a man that new what i was going through give me hug, you have no idea what it would do. Just someone to talk to like me.
and yes I cried writing this, some it should make sense, some it won’t. I need a new key board dropped my coffee on this one. Love everyone, hate takes to much good energy out of you.
Peace out, and Love you all

@Rick Gillum: “…You have a attractive face but if your trying to get famous on your ass I just think Kardashian. Like we need another one of those.”
Ridiculous comparison; he has TALENT, WORKS HARD to produce original music that reflects HIS IDENTITY; he is an ACTIVIST; and there is NO SEX TAPE!
LOVE YOU, STEVE!!!!! Thanks for staying in communications w/your fans while making your beautiful music FOR US. I like seeing/feeling your HEART and stunning body in clothes or few!
kouros
So let us be objective. Thus far, Grand is a one-trick pony. His voice, instrumental ability and stage presence are ordinary. Artistic brilliance is absent. So, being a sexy gay boy is the only avenue available to sell his brand. These ridiculous protestations about the pics he posted on the Internet are nothing more than attempts at self-aggrandizement.
adrianjurado310
oh yah he’s all up on Youtube.com. and the magazines in Los Angeles…
Giancarlo85
@lauraspencer: Last I checked, Lambert is doing fine for himself and doing his own thing. and his voice is outstanding. I don’t know why you need to include him in one more of your feeble know it all diatribes.
We all know the story. You know everything about the entertainment business (when in reality you don’t know shit).
@stevegrandmusic Goodness me. You actually read this site? Ignore it, if it bothers you so much!
witwoud
this queen needs to take it down a notch. his music is pedestrian, derivative drivel and is just another also ran in the overcrowded field of bland, new school country music.
if he really wants to be known for his music, he would collaborate with some of the artists who are responsible for the renaissance of roots/alternative country: ryan adams, avett brothers, shovels & rope, drive-by truckers, etc.
he’s just an egotistical martyr who wants us to pity how pretty, hot, built, stacked, hung, etc. he is.
…not gonna happen.
mujerado
@witwoud: Look who’s calling Steve Grand a “queen”! Miss Vitriol, the quality of his music has nothing to do with the gay media objectifying him to get clicks on their websites.
paul dorian lord fredine
yeah, i can tell. it’s all about the music. not that i’m complaining; i like the view.
