Adam Lambert and Troye Sivan are two celebs that are being dragged online for going to this gay brunch event.
The two gay singers attended the first Out To Brunch luncheon that claimed to represent the industry’s LGBTI community.
However, many have questioned why every person at the brunch was white and mostly cis and male.
Was this gay music brunch ‘tone-deaf’?
Sivan said at the event, according to Variety: ‘Queer people have been writing your favorite songs forever; the talent has always been there.
‘To be able to recognize it publicly and find community in it is so amazing.
‘And to see it celebrated in this room and for everyone to come together and get to mingle and hang out and strategize and organize writing sessions? It’s so fun.
‘Nothing brings me greater joy than seeing my queer friends succeed.’
Justin Tranter, former front man of Semi Precious Band, said ‘there’s room for all LGBTQ people to succeed, not just one’.
Lambert likened the experience of coming out to ‘being thrown into a pot of boiling water’.
Criticism on social media
But while no one has criticized the goal of the brunch, some questioned why there wasn’t more racial and gender diversity.
Tranter acknowledged the lack of diversity in the rom.
He said he had invited Shea Diamond, a trans artist of color, but said she had to fly to New York for a last-minute event.
