Remember When Russian Pop Duo t.A.T.u Pretended To Be Lesbians?

“From the minute “All the Things She Said” hit the airwaves, there had been rumblings that the girls in t.A.T.u. weren’t actually lesbians. I mean, it makes sense; they were too stereotypical. The schoolgirl outfits, Julia’s spiky short hair, Lena’s long curls. It just feels like what two older straight men think lesbians look like.”

I Was Naive To Think I Could Shape It More Than It Could Shape Me

“Young and naïve, I looked towards magazines, media and the Internet to tell me about the world. I imagined what it might look like when I grew up and became a part of it, not realizing how literal or destructive that aspiration would become.”
