Happy Pride! June is, of course, Pride Month, so LXL and Slacker Radio will be championing some of our favorite LGBTQ artists all month!

Aussie artist Troye Sivan may be young, but he’s been out his entire career, and talked to Music Choice about how he’s trying to bend and break barriers of gay representation in popular media with his songs and videos. He told them.

“I, obviously, I’m LGBTQ myself, and um… just know how that feels, and know what I wanted to see when I was a kid and know what kind of would’ve helped me, I think. And now I’m just trying to be that for someone else, you know?"

See what else Troye has to say about being part of the Queer community in the video above. Oh! And wish him a happy birthday – he turns 23 tomorrow!
