But if I was like, “who are some hot white lesbians right now?”, people would reply, “this person, this person, this person…” There’s still a long way to go. Growing up as a Caribbean lesbian, where was my representation? If I was to go up to someone and say, “name me three lesbian Jamaican icons,” I don’t think anyone would be able to name many. The face of the community is still long, straight hair with a snapback and it’s incredibly western. If you were to go on Pinterest or Google and type “lesbian art” or “lesbian Tumblr” it is super white. Lava La Rue What are some of the issues within the lesbian community that need to be worked through? I don’t know why anyone would want to gatekeep in this way. It can be really unhealthy to exclude, for example, trans men from the lesbian community if that’s the community they feel safe in – especially when trans men have played such an important role in the community, even going back in the Stonewall era. Your gender or your transition doesn’t change who you’re attracted to or the culture around that. The term "lesbian" comes with its own culture and community and if you identify with those things you shouldn’t be rejected from your community. Some people who might feel the same thing but describe it in a different way, it’s just words that help us navigate how we feel.Īs a non-binary, queer lesbian, what’s your perspective on how gender fluidity plays out within the lesbian community – especially when some individuals say that it should be strictly for cis women who exclusively date other cis women? It’s about how you want to categorise how you feel. It’s not black and white or pink and purple, it’s like a colour wheel of gradient and everyone fits in at a slightly different point. Labels are just there to navigate and categorise what is a wide spectrum of feelings and emotion. Lava La Rue How do you feel about identity labels as you get older? Have they become more of a flexible thing for you? Willow Smith is a great example: she's a part of that revival but doing it in a Black and queer way. There’s a lot of artists who are taking that sound to not just a queer space but also a POC space. They were born during the pop punk and indie wave but were too young to appreciate it, so are bringing it back now. There’s a generational movement, a shift back to guitar-based music from people born in the 2000s. Would you say that there are many artists who have that energy today? But that queer rock 'n' roll energy is something I’ve always been attracted to. People assumed they were heterosexual with queer vibes or maybe they were queer and had to assimilate. There were a lot of musicians I grew up listening to who had a queer energy – I’m talking about Prince, David Bowie, Grace Jones – who are considered queer icons but the navigation around their sexuality or their partners was very up in the air at the time. When you were growing up was there a lot of queer representation that spoke to you? The music you make today puts queer love front and centre. The video was this psychedelic, cartoonish concept of going on different speed dates with lots of different partners and me becoming different versions of myself to cater to the partner I was with and what I thought that they would like, which I know a lot of people are guilty of. And the "Vest & Boxers" video is about a common dating mistake we've all made more than once. I wanted this track to have the same energy lyrically but to layer it over guitars and drums, with Brit Pop vibes. You know, the stuff that might get played in Heaven or G-A-Y. "Vest & Boxers" was my return back to music this year and it’s got an indie-pop tinge which I thought would be fun just because, when you ask people what they associate with a queer pop song, they'll say something that’s more EDM-based. Let's talk about your latest single, "Vest & Boxers" – it's a queer anthem, but not as we've really seen it before. In short, for anyone that grew up furtively listening to “All the Things She Said” as their only form of lesbian representation, Lava’s sound is a necessary antidote to how the community has typically been depicted in the music world…įor Lesbian Visibility Week, we called Lava up to discuss their latest queer anthem, their overlapping identities and why we need to evolve the face of the lesbian community. Fluid and free, the ways they sing about lesbian desire brim with possibility and tap into the universal feelings that transcend identity. The London-raised musician – real name Ava Laurel – makes dreamy tracks that overflow with the joy and longing of being young, queer and in love (or something like it). Lesbian Visibility Week runs from 25 April to 1 May and is an opportunity to bring awareness to the lesbian community and celebrate the diversity within it.
