Here Are 22 Times When MAMAMOO Proved Themselves To Be LGBTQIA+ Allies

MAMAMOO continue to show their love and support for the LGBTQIA+ community! 🏳️‍🌈

K-Pop has made a lot of progress in recent years. Many persons in the LGBTQIA+ community even find solace through K-Pop due to its positive and uplifting messages along with sometimes androgynous concepts and styles. Despite this, topics such as homosexuality are still taboo and even frowned upon in South Korea. This is why it’s especially admirable when those in the entertainment industry use their platform to speak out in support of LGBTQIA+, regardless of whether or not they themselves identify as part of the community.

The members of MAMAMOO especially have frequently continued to show themselves to be LGBTQIA+ allies. They ignore haters and instead show their heart as they do their part to promote queer representation!

Here are 22 times when MAMAMOO proved themselves to be true and authentic allies of the LGBTQIA+ community:

1. Whenever Moonbyul uses gender-inclusive lyrics so that anyone can relate to the songs.
