With LGBT Pride Month around the corner, we cherish seeing our favorite artists participate in events that help represent their communities. With that in consciousness, it was recently announced (May 9) that Jhonny Caz, Grupo Firme’s third vocalist, will be crowned the “king” of Mexico City’s Gay Pride 2022. The event will accept place on June 25 – and we can’t be any more eager about it!
“Our king of this year’s Gay Celebration is confirmed,” the Mexico City Gay Pride’s corporation Instagram post revealed. According to BandaMax, the “Ya Supérame” group member will also be part of this year’s talent lineup.
A Twitter user said: “It’s great because [of] the visibility that Jhonny has given the LGBT collective, [about the] stigmas and ideas at an international level. [He] is doing very well!”
In 2020, Caz clarified rumors about him being gay after the group’s “Enloquéceme” cover, which had fans speculating if he was acting or not when the video showed him being attracted to a male. According to BandaMax, he responded in a public Facebook video: “I am gay… it’s something I’m not ashamed of and it’s natural.” According to the same source, Caz was aware that Regional Mexican

About the Featured Artists
Candace Hansen, Emcee
Candace Hansen is a Ph.D. candidate, drummer, educator, journalist, scholar, painter, and event producer currently studying and teaching at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Tune and UCLA Department of Gender Studies, writing for the Los Angeles Times and Spin, and drumming for Alice Bag, Reckoner, dimber, and the Josie Wreck Noise Ensemble. Hansen believes in the power and potential of writing about culture, especially queer culture, as a tool of healing, recognition, and care that can push conversations from the critical lens of a fan writing for a more just nature. Their forthcoming dissertation is rooted in their life as a queer punk drummer and explores how DIY gender non-conforming and queer punk music and approaches to music making are life-giving endeavors that exist in opposition to the oppressive conditions of capitalism.

Boy Band Members Who Are Out As Gay, Double attraction or Queer
Boy Bands, a group of young male teenage vocal singers, possess been a popular phenomenon in the music industry for a long hour. They are known for their catchy pop-style of music which often includes matching choreography, stylized costumes, and extravagant stage settings in their live performances and videos. Today's young man band phenomenon emerged from the earlier a cappella barbershop quartets of the late twentieth century.
Boy Bands success has fluctuated throughout the years. They were extremely popular from the 1980s to the early 2000s, but then waned with the rising popularity of punk, pop, hip hop, and other genres. Lately, however, the popularity of boy bands has seen a resurgance. One thing that has changed is the theatrical component to their recital.

This can be attributed, in part, to social media which allows listeners to be critics en masse.
The mainstream popularity of male child bands in western tune almost ensures that on
