Sam Smith's new music video is causing quite a stir with its controversial and NSFW content, but it's also sparking a heated debate on a highly inflammatory question - is sexuality just for straight people???
The nonbinary singer released the visually charged video for their latest hit single "I'm Not Here To Make Friends," which is part of their newly dropped album, "Gloria."

No holds barred, "INHTMF" is unapologetic in its exhibition of skin and sexually suggestive scenes.
In the video, Sam is seen in various provocative outfits, including one where their chest is exposed with nothing but nipple pasties to cover their modesty.
There are also moments where they are being drenched in water in a manner that some might find inappropriate.

As expected, the backup dancers and extras are all decked out in risqué attire throughout the video, so objectively speaking, it ticks all the boxes for a traditionally provocative project.
The controversy surrounding the video has been trending all weekend, mostly eliciting outrage from conservative viewers who feel it's wildly inappropriate, especially given the potential for minors to accidentally view it on YouTube.
According to these outraged individuals, "I'm Not Here" is nothing more than a hyper-sexualized display of perversion, disguised as body positivity and LGBTQ+ empowerment.

However, not everyone sees it that way. In fact, the counterargument coming from the other side is - where was all the outrage when we saw cisgender heterosexual men and women doing the same, if not worse, in previous music videos? It's a valid question to ask.
Despite all the controversy, Sam appears unfazed, continuing to promote their video with pride, posting clips and stills without reservation.
This conversation is far from over and promises to ignite even more passionate discussions.
