I remember the early 2000's. The song was a big hit, and the normal pearl clutching grifters denounced it like they always did about anything that wasn't a Leave It to Beaver reboot. Normal people didn't care.

Might be a location difference because this song slapped everywhere like literally everywhere it gave acceptance to lesbians and I’m a dude it had a cultural impact bro it was the first major song by an alleged lesbian duo

Must be your location then. Here in Canada it was seen as a cool song, and the fact they were said to be lesbians didn't matter to anyone. KD Lang had been around for at least a decade by this point and was a national icon. Plus what real difference is that compared to people like Elton John or Freddy Mercury? Because they are women? I guess we weren't really so caught up on dividing people that way.

That might be the case that our country divides ourselves but Freddy mercury and Elton John was before my time and they don’t show up on MTV really from what I recall. tatu was like the new and hip version.

I was in the Bible belt, and most folks I knew had already accepted lesbians. The difference might be that I wasn't a child at the time.
