Since 2019, LNX has changed the music game as one of the few openly gay and celebrated LGBTQ+ artists. From his hit singles to his larger than life performances, the 22-year-old has showcased his artistry and sexuality in an unapologetic way.
In a new interview with CBS Sunday Morning, the young talent opened up about why he decided to come out during the height of Old Town Road. “That would’ve been the most authentic time.
