<\/p>\nTyler Glenn Wants the Mormon Church to Know He Lives a Life So Shameless \u2013 WATCH<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tyler Glenn’s latest music video<\/a> “Shameless” takes aim at the leaders of the Mormon Church in playfully flippant fashion.<\/p>\n Glenn, who is gay<\/a> and came out in 2014, has been taking the Mormon Church to task in his music after the Church announced a new policy labeling gay<\/a> members ‘apostates.’<\/p>\n The video<\/a> for “Shameless” is a flurry of fur, glitter, leather, mesh and religious iconography. Glenn teases and taunts someone tied to a chair wearing an old-white-man<\/a> mask, supposed to represent the head of the LDS faith. He dances around him, licks his face and straddled his lap.<\/p>\n “To me, I’m definitely tying up the leader of the church and showing him that I’m shameless,” Glenn told Billboard. <\/a><\/p>\n Glenn also features hunky male<\/a> back-up dancers that don’t conform to stereotypes about gay<\/a> male<\/a> backup dancers.<\/p>\n Glenn explained,<\/p>\n “I’m attracted to guys<\/a> like that. I’ve never got to be a seedy casting director, so it was fun to cast the guys<\/a> that I thought were cute. I specifically wanted them not to be chiseled, twinky go-go boys<\/a>. I wanted them to be built, hairy dudes.<\/p>\n I wanted the video<\/a> to represent me authentically. I’ve never felt like I fit into any group and know there are other people that feel the same way. There isn’t just a stereotypical one-way, even in the gay<\/a> community. I didn’t want to cheese it up, glam it up, gay<\/a> it up just to do it. I wanted to do it in my own way.”<\/p>\n As for being an out gay<\/a> male<\/a> musician, Glenn said, “I think the rock world and the alternative world still has a way to go for gay<\/a> representation. I hope my record moves that needle along.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The post Tyler Glenn Wants the Mormon Church to Know He Lives a Life So Shameless – WATCH<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\nPREVIOUSLY: Thousands Leave Mormon Church After New Policy Labels Gay Members ‘Apostates’ – WATCH<\/em><\/a><\/h2>\n
