i& #39;m sure a million threads like this have been made but it& #39;s something that makes me really happy so i want to talk abt it !! also keep in mind the stigma around the lgbt community in south korea , that makes everything i& #39;m about to mention that much more meaningful

firstly , most of bts& #39; lyrics are gender neutral and this is intentional !
they& #39;ve spoken a lot about different kinds of love & always use inclusive language !

namjoon using inclusive language again when talking about dating
a notable example of gender neutral lyrics : namjoon & jungkook& #39;s " i know " , which was released very shortly after gay marriage was denied in korea

bts have promoted & shown support for many lgbt artists ( and their explicitly queer work ! ) such as kehlani , sam smith and more . they& #39;ve also collabed w openly lgbt artists such as mnek , halsey , troye sivan , and sia !
namjoon promoting the song " same love " and saying that he enjoyed it even more when he learned the meaning behind the lyrics + yoongi sharing his opinion
taehyung said in a vlive that his favorite movie is call me by your name . the other members have praised other lgbt movies such as love , simon !
* not saying cmbyn is great representation lol but still
* not saying cmbyn is great representation lol but still
namjoon has recommended a number of lgbt books including confessions of a mask , a book about being gay in a homophobic society - and it& #39;s thought to be the inspiration behind taehyung& #39;s solo song singularity
one of taehyung& #39;s other solo songs , stigma , is also interpreted to be gay coded by many lgbt armys
there was even this cute animation about gendered bathrooms !

among many other things , namjoon mentioned gender identity in his speech to the UN ( which you should watch in its entirety , namjoon for president )
bts supporting imagine dragons& #39; speech about lgbt rights and conversion therapy https://twitter.com/gigglegguk/status/1124004626007822336/video/1">https://twitter.com/giggleggu...
bts are equally as sweet to their mlm fanboys as they are to their female fans !! here are 2 examples ( this means a lot to me especially as a gay boy who stans them

of course , bts constantly break gender roles , not only with their concepts but their makeup and clothing as well !
i could seriously make a whole separate thread about bts defying gender roles
" femininity is made up by society , a skirt is just a concept , i& #39;m wearing swag , i& #39;m wearing hip hop " - namjoon 2k13
" femininity is made up by society , a skirt is just a concept , i& #39;m wearing swag , i& #39;m wearing hip hop " - namjoon 2k13
and finally , let& #39;s not forget when seokjin smiled at an army with a " lesbians love seokjin " sign
and when taehyung saw a pride flag with the bts logo on it in the audience and this was his reaction
jimin seeing a pride flag as well ! i& #39;ve heard of a lot of instances where bts acknowledge & interact with armys holding lgbt flags but couldn& #39;t find videos , pls drop any u can find ! https://twitter.com/yoongihobis/status/1049810673465786368/video/1">https://twitter.com/yoongihob...
that& #39;s all for now but feel free to add any more examples you have !! i& #39;m sure this isn& #39;t an exhaustive list . in the meantime stan bts protectors of the gays
