I think the audience for this magazine cover is, at large, any fan of Lil Nas X and the LGBTQ community. Honing into a smaller audience, it would be queer black fans who understand that Lil Nas often waters down his image to appeal to a larger audience, but always stays true to himself. This is shown through the framing of Lil Nas X’s two bodies— him clad in leather with a straighter face holding another version of himself in a suit to look more polished.
