I'm a Hil D stan, but I'm still bitter about the Lizzie McGuire reboot not happening and the cancelled "Younger" Kelsey spin off

“The very beginning” of whatever musical career she’s alluding to began in 2003, so…okay. 
As far as I recall, tween Disney stars weren’t exactly beacons of progress. She was dating Aaron ******* Carter at this time, for gods sake.

Edit: just remembered AC identifies as bi, so I guess Duffs statement is technically truthful.

So, what she's essentially saying is that the gays have sh-tty taste. I mean, no lies detected, but why rub it in, Lizzie?

Fu*k all the haters in this thread, Hilary served us bops  

I lived for Dignity, and BIBO is pop PERFECTION. I hope she releases something new soon

[SlayOut]

Another one trying to use the gay community. When they say things like that it makes us look like we are second class citizens. Like our musical taste is not something to being taken seriously.

A gay publication specifically asked Hilary to speak on her gay supporters, since that's their core audience. And she came out with music at 15 y.o. as a Disney Channel kid. No adults, traditional radio stations took her music serious. But a lot of gay kids and gay teens (along with hetero boys n girls) took her music serious because it spoke to them. She's not just referring to adult gay fans when she refers to her musical debut. People didn't take Britney serious when she came out. They called her the new Debbie Gibson and she proved the industry wrong. Not saying Hilary is on Britney's level, but just saying people sometimes get first impressions wrong.

She's so genuine, i love her. I was OBSESSED with her with Lizzie and her first two albums. Saw her live at one point and it was really good. Love her, love her, love her!!!

I don’t own anything to those pop singers. I like their music and that’s it. They didn’t open doors to me.

Well no one said you owe them anything 

If anything, Hilary is saying she owes the gay community because they embraced her when others didn't. It's called self awareness and gratitude. 

Stop making this sentiment seem disingenuous.

Just hush 🤫

Why does Hilary duff get hate? She's so unproblematic. I feel like if she does get hate it's from people who can't stand how damn gorgeous she still is. Furthermore, I was there from the beginning, when I was a lil gay boy, and Lizzie was the thing to watch... And as she released music I was the gay emo boy who stanned pop\emo/punk rock and loved come clean and that whole vibe she had. I will always support her.

I love this woman so much! "Breathe In. Breathe Out." is such an underrated album.
