Lizzo swung by Radio Andy, Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM channel, which was broadcasting live from the Super Bowl yesterday.
At one point during their chat, the “Truth Hurts” singer spotted Lil Nas X, who she lovingly refers to as Nazzo,” in the crowd. After getting his attention, the two agreed to meet up in 10 minutes. Then Lizzo mimed cunnilingus.
“You’re going to have a smoke in 10 minutes?” Cohen asked.
“A little lickety-lick. No, I don’t know,” Lizzo replied. “He’s pretty hot. You know, fluidity is all the rage these days. Just release and be yourself, you know? Whatever you like. Wherever you stick or lick, that’s your pick.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
That’s when Cohen asked directly whether she identifies as fluid. To which, she answered, “I don’t know,” before reciting the opening lyrics from “I Would Die 4 U” by Prince: “‘I’m not your woman, I’m not your man. I am something that you’ll never understand.’ That’s how I feel.”
Watch.
Lizzo is currently nominated for not one but two Queerties Awards–one for Badass and one for Anthem for her song “Juice.”
Voting runs now through February 21, and remember — you can vote once per day in each category. The winners will be announced live at a special reception in Los Angeles on February 25 and on Queerty the following morning. Use hashtag #Queerties to share your votes and help your favorites.

People who experience genuine fluidity don’t speak about it as if it’s “cool” and some pop culture trend. Curiosity, experimentation, having some bisexuality in your orientation, merely being willing to indulge sexual behaviors with multiple sexes- none of that is fluidity. Fluidity is the increasing or decreasing of sexual attractions, sexual desires, affections, romantic passions, emotional fulfillment and/or relationship contentment. Folks like to throw words around with very little meaning behind them. What was once a technical term is now just being used to cover a bunch non-connected stuff and used to seem “with it”, often times by people who’ve experienced no fluidity at all.
But I guess everyone has their own personal meanings and motivations behind using all these identities and terminologies. So, there’s no point in caring anymore about what means what.

fluidity is just another stupid way of saying bi.
that’s all. enough of the stupid extra “labels”. It’s a cop out.
I have more respect for people who stand up and say “i’m gay”, “i’m bi”, “i’m straight”.
people want to find other labels because they have no balls to just be who they are.
Other claiming “non-binary”. Oh you mean “androgynous”. Same thing.
Transgender people are the ones who have a rough fight because they’re even getting prejudices from their own community. Lets worry about that.

Please stop talking about shit you don’t understand. Either do the research or stay out of the conversation. Lizzo doesn’t seem to really get it either. But at least she’s not disrespectful and dismissive.
The concept of “fluidity” isn’t entirely connected to heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality, pan-sexuality, whatever. It’s the theory that attraction, arousal, desire, affection, romantic intensity, emotional fulfillment, relationship contentment are within a spectrum, and those aspects can evolve over time. These things can increase or decrease. Sometimes they can entirely dissipate or develop out of no where. And yes, many people do experience it. Though it’s not nearly a thing for everyone. But this is why I preach self-comfort, mental health, snuffing out any forms of self-resentment and understanding the facets of orientation more than I preach identity or behaviors. Fluidity is also partly why some people view “homosexual” and “gay” as different things. Would you really have same-sex affections, romantic passions, relationships ambitions if you didn’t feel forced to by being homosexual? The amount of people who exude internalized homophobia or who preach ex-gay propaganda are frequently a reflection of people who started to resent the “gay community” once they were no longer inherently homosexual. And some people who are inherently bi become full-on homo over time. This is as well part of the reason some view identity as more of a choice.

You’re telling me it means nothing? I’ll believe you because I have no idea what NEW idea it’s supposed to promote. The available ways for people to interact sexually is not that big a data set in fact it’s pretty damn small and just calling something fluid to seem like some new idea has been discovered is unlikely.

Fluidity has been around forever. Even Kinsey wrote about it. It’s not just something the “younger generation” pulled out of its ass. The word “fluidity” though only started being used about a decade ago and widely used about five years ago. The issue I have with its popularity is that now tons of people are misusing the term. People also use it as an excuse to stay closeted or keep same-sex relationships on the DL. Some use the term in an attempt to push homophobia, hetero pressures, hetero supremacy, straight/non-homo worship, and/or push homosexual denial. And some people use it to cover up internalized homophobia and gay shame or to cover up having overall non hetero preferences, passions, affections, emotional fulfillment, love and ambitions. Really, all these identities and terminologies have become double-edged swords.

She’s obnoxious!

At least she can sing, what’s your excuse?

whatever you lick or stick will be fluid no doubt.
other than that, sexual fluidity is a cop out. just say you’re bi and shut up

Even if Lizzo isn’t getting fluidity right, at the very least she’s getting acceptance right. That’s what I love about Millenial and Gen Z pop culture. It is explicitly pro-lgbtq+ and they don’t want to support homophobia any more.
They will get it wrong. They’re open to being corrected, no matter how big they get. We can all learn something from each other in the Information Age.

I don’t care for “queerness” being used as a prop to seem cool or to connect yourself to “otherness”. That’s one of the problems with the “younger generation”. There may be more open-mindedness, but there’s still a ton of ignorance. If you don’t understand terminologies you’re better off not using them. Because pushing false narratives is becoming a problem. I’m hearing/reading a lot of stuff where people think that they’re being supportive or helpful, but they’re adding on to manipulation, identity politics, internalized homophobia, ignorance concerning concepts like fluidity or the gender, romantic, sexual, affection, relationship spectrum. It’s not that hard for people to do their research first.

Andy’s interview with Lizzo was pretty great. Y’all are overthinking her. She’s a young, fun, articulate, loving person. Just because YOUR definition of fluidity isn’t hers doesn’t really hold water… especially, ESPECIALLY when you’re defining a word as nebulous as “fluidity”. How lucky we are to live when so many are so open to all of us, in all our ways.
