Ariana Grande has been accused of queer-baiting in her new music video for “Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored.” Queer-baiting is when you hint at, but not actually depict, a same-sex romantic relationship.

Several LGBTQ fans took to Twitter to accuse Grande of “using the gays for shock value” and treating bisexuality as a “trend.” *Photo from Comso
