Boundary-pushing rapper Young MA is unapologetically gay. She also just directed a hot lesbian porn film on Pornhub. She used to live in my building, and my roommates and I would regularly try to get her attention and invite her to our parties to no avail (except the time she nodded at us… you know, the lesbian nod). Anyway, she’s an incredible musician and a Black queer icon. Follow her @youngma.
