I knew I was gay by the time I was 13. When I entered high school I felt isolated and depressed as a closeted gay kid at an all boys Catholic school where every other insult was faggot. The hardest part was that my twin brother, Spencer, and best friend, Chelsea, had no idea what I was going through because I was too afraid to tell them. It wasn’t until I mustered up some liquid courage at age 19 to come out to them that I was finally able to breathe in deeply and imagine a future for myself that wasn’t built on a lie. They were the first two people I told and their immediate support made me feel proud of that part of me I’d been shameful of for so long. When we were writing our album, we looked into our past at pivotal moments in our lives that made us who we are today and one of those experiences we shared together was my coming out to them. This inspired our song Colorful. We wrote this song to hopefully reach the ears of people who are LGBTQ+ and struggling (like I did) to embrace who they are. We wanted the song to have an impact on the LGBTQ+ community in our hometown of Washington DC so we partnered with Capital Pride Alliance and Ally Coalition to launch the Colorful Campaign. This campaign raises money for LGBTQ+ organizations in DC through remixes of Colorful featuring LGBTQ+ artists and through partnerships with local businesses We spent an incredibly moving day with members of the LGBTQ+ community here in DC, and filmed the Colorful music video to celebrate them. Hearing their stories and witnessing their strength, despite the hardships they’ve been through, reassured us of the undeniable importance of love and support for the LGBTQ+ community. The Colorful music video comes out tomorrow as well as the first Colorful remix with the mega talented @richmusicrich. Check out colorfulcampaign.com for more info. Love you all ~ Max 🤎🖤❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
The same happened to me! Its hard to talk about it I needed therapy and some meds.. if someone suffered as well ask for help and be proud of who you are ❤🌈
To Chelsea, Max & Spencer, my dear friend, thank you so so much for telling me about this opportunity and telling me to come down to be a part of this amazing project. I love you three so so much and Max I am so proud of you, for being proud of who you are. Happy pride to all, and happy black and Asian queer history month ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
As a mom of a gay teenager, this song and video moved me to tears; I have supported her since the moment she told me (she was 13). She doesn't share a lot of any negativity that she encounters, but I do know that she has a great support base with her friends, and her mom. THANK YOU for sharing your experience Max - my daughter got to meet you and Spencer in Atlanta after you opened for K-Flay; and she was over the moon!!! We love you and support you all. XO XO
no you're crying... 😭😭😍🌈🎶💙something about SHAED's music hits different every time, steady becoming the soundtrack to many of the most meaningful parts of my life, what a joy to be here to experience it. Sending my love to everyone in the LGBTQ+ community. What a work of art ✨
I was a freshman in high school when I was forced out of the closet. After spending a year trying to convince people that the "Rumor" was not true, I finally just gave up and embraced it. Been happy ever since. Thank you for this song, and the reminder of the community I belong to. I needed this tonight . . . HAPPY PRIDE!!!!!!!
