Gay American Singer Steve Grand New Video Stay!!!

Gay singer Steve Grand’s second music video Stay was released today on You Tube! I love this song, it is very different from Grand’s first viral hit All American Boy which was a sad depressing song. Stay is more upbeat, hopeful, and it shows Steve in love with another man, but this time he gets the gay guy! I think Steve Grand is so refreshing, it is so nice to see a young gay male singer, be unapologetic about being GAY.

Of course, a major reason Steve Grand is receiving a lot of media attention and also the public’s attention is due to the fact he’s a handsome young man. However, so what? Steve Grand is hot, and it certainly doesn’t hurt to be attractive especially since he’s a singer.

Some gay men are critical of Steve Grand because they feel the gay male community is a bit superficial and people are obsessed about Grand’s good looks.

I agree that Steve Grand receives a lot of attention because he’s HOT. However, I also believe there is a yearning from a lot of gay men, to finally see gay love in a visual form and in music. I believe, a lot of gay men like Steve Grand because it is great to see a gay man sing about being in love with another man.

There is still a lot of homophobia in society, and in the entertainment industry although barriers are breaking down there is still a lot of blatant discrimination.

It is great that Mackelmore and Ryan Lewis can make Same Love a huge international hit. Meanwhile, for me personally, it is great seeing Steve Grand an actual gay man be confident and be proud about his homosexuality. It just means something more to me, as a gay man to see another gay man, in pop culture be a successful entertainer.

Having straight allies such as Mackelmore and Ryan Lewis is good, but it is even better for the gay community when gay men actually stand up and be proud. The confidence that Steve Grand demonstrates with his music is very empowering to the gay community.

Steve Grand is a proud gay man and that’s very refreshing to see, he isn’t hiding his love for other men in his music videos.

If you notice, a lot of gay male entertainers such as Adam Lambert, Frank Ocean, or Ricky Martin, they only came out of the closet after they had a certain level of success. Also, unlike Ricky Martin, Adam Lambert, or Frank Ocean, Steve Grand came out as a gay man from the VERY BEGINNING! It is nice that there are a few queer male entertainers in the music industry, but there is still a problem.

The openly gay male singers on the major music labels, they seem to have a marketing strategy of not appearing “too gay”.
It isn’t very powerful, when Frank Ocean sings about loving a man yet he can’t make a music video about loving another man.

The visual aspect of music videos are very important, because I believe it is imperative for gay male entertainers to claim their space.

The mainstream record companies seem more concerned about record sales, and also appealing to heterosexual women. Even though Frank Ocean, Ricky Martin, and Adam Lambert are out of the closet, they clearly are being marketed to women not gay men.

The gay male market is virtually ignored, by the mainstream record companies.
Also, I have noticed the other openly gay male singers, their music videos are not very gay nor do their videos deal with gay male romance. Even though Ricky Martin is out as a gay man, a lot of his music videos still involves him singing to a woman.

Steve Grand is a breath of fresh air, I can’t wait until Steve releases his first album.

Hot Gay Singer Steve Grand’s CNN Interview Talks About Success Of Song All American Boy!

I am glad Steve Grand addressed the media’s claim of calling him a Country Music singer. Steve Grand makes it clear in his video he does not see himself as a Country artist. Grand’s video All American Boy has a Country twang to it, but I don’t think it is Country Music. I hope Steve gets a record deal and his music career gets to take off! All American Boy is an amazing song, because Steve was so bold and unapologetic writing a song and making a video about loving another man. Adam Lambert, Frank Ocean, Ricky Martin are out of the closet but their music ignores their homosexuality. All American Boy has connected with so many gay men and also heterosexuals because love is universal.

Openly Gay Country Music Singer Steve Grand Got A You Tube Hit Over 1 Million Views!!!

Twenty three year old Steve Grand You Tube video All American Boy is a huge viral success with over 1 million views!

Grand’s first music video cost $7000 dollars he maxed out his credit card to make it. This video is wonderful, I love it!

It is so nice to see a gay artist singing about just being in love although this song is bitter sweet the love is unrequited.

I think Steve Grand is going to have a successful music career he’s a good singer, handsome, and he seems passionate about his music.

Steve was also a model for the Australia gay Magazine DNA.

The Country Music genre is a bit conservative though, and also homophobic. It will be interesting to see where Steve Grand goes

from here, I hope he does get a record deal. Steve is handsome, I am sure gay men and also heterosexual women are going to

support him. Well done Steve!
