Vixen Eyes Posted September 27 Posted September 27 the "you're gay" version was replaced with the radio edit for EVERY release since 2006 after the original first released 11 track album came out.
MatiRod Posted September 27 Posted September 27 Idk, art and music and culture is always a time-capsule, in 2006 it represented how middle school girls acted. It wasn't all LGBT positivity back then. This was pre-Glee, pre-Born This Way, and pre drag queens being mainstream. "You're gay" was an insult in every school. I'm gay so obviously I have no interest in disparaging myself but Taylor was like what, 15 when she wrote that song? I find it hard to hold a grudge against her for something she wrote when she was so young, besides she did remove it and probably will remove it from the re-recorded version. 6 2

Timeline could suggest between the ages of 12 - 15. Edited September 27 by Taylor fanboy
LittleStarmen Posted September 28 Posted September 28 sound like something someone in the closet would say... 2
BoDaToe Posted September 28 Posted September 28 Pretty sure it's a majority of people that prefer the original version. If the owners of her mastets were actually smart they'd add the original 11 track album w original versions of TDOMG and PTB and make it separate from the deluxe edition and put the original deluxe version cover on it. Spoiler If anyone on that team is on here hmu cause I have ideas how to keep getting money for "stolen" versions from the s*ifties.
YourFavoriteWeapon Posted September 28 Posted September 28 I get why she removed it but I don't think it's necessarily an offensive lyric. It doesn't take a genius to know that the lyric was not out of homophobia but as a way for Taylor to say if a guy breaks up with her, she'll say he's gay so it makes it hard for him to get girls.

BrattyBottom Posted September 28 Posted September 28 Nah, she's not going to sing it and she'll probably release a statement about how it was a mistake/of the times or whatever. The OG version is the only version imo tho

As someone who was in high school in 2006, the lyric "that's fine, I'll tell mine you're gay" said more about male fragility (especially of teenage boys in the 2000s) than it did about Taylor actively disliking the LGBT+ community. She wasn't being homophobic. She was trolling a homophobe, which is arguably ally behaviour. I'll die on this hill. The lyric has never offended me.
byzantium Posted September 28 Posted September 28 She is a gay icon for telling me what I was in denial about as a child and quite honestly, it's homophobic that she changed the lyrics. 1
