Pride month is right around the corner, but it’s never too early to celebrate! Heather Mae gives us the queer anthem of the season with her new single, ‘kissing girls.’ It is all about learning to love (and learning to love yourself). ‘kissing girls’ is fun, raw, and intimate.
‘kissing girls’
Showcasing a variety of relationships and symbolizing love does, in fact, come in all shapes and sizes, the music video for ‘kissing girls’ is simple in all the right ways! After all, love is already complicated. Why add to it? We’re obsessed with the makeshift photo booth, impromptu dance party, and home movie-esque shots. It makes us feel like we’re right there with her, giving this personal song that extra personal touch.
Growing up in church and the Evangelical movement, the only representation of LGBTQ+ people that I was familiar with were the kids who got kicked out for being queer. Even though my first crush was on a girl, I hid the truth of what that meant to protect myself from losing my entire community. This is why visibility is profoundly important to me

In ‘kissing girls,’ Heather doesn’t just show off her vocals but also her incredible songwriting ability. A captivating story from beginning to end, she shares her own path and experiences beautifully. From whimsical lyrics about playing as children and sleeping over after softball games to exploring why she felt the need to hide herself, Heather Mae takes you on a journey. She may have been kissing girls as long as she’s been kissing boys, but this song isn’t just for the bisexuals. ‘kissing girls’ is a song for everyone!
‘kissing girls’ celebrates not only queer joy but also pays a heartfelt tribute to the transgender community—highlighting the journey of transitioning and the steadfast love of supportive partners.
A bisexual love song for people who have loved or been loved by someone who was transgender. We deserve to hear our love songs on the radio, too.
