Cole Porter was brilliant. I love “Anything Goes”.

Anyone here a fan of The Academy Is...? The lead singer is William Beckett and he owned being gay after some controversy in 2018 on Twitter.

Please tell your friend Gregory that I love his song. It reminds me of 1990’s alternative rock. Thank you for sharing this.
 
No Freddie Mercury or Bowie. wtf!

well I'm a metalhead so Gaahl from Gorgoroth, as well as the legendary Rob Halford of course are great representation in that community.

I must also admit, having been a lifelong fan of the avant-garde art & music group The Residents, when Hardy Fox identified himself as a member of the band and admitted to being married to a man, that made me very very happy.

I also recommend Lavender Country if anyone's into oldschool hippie country from the 70s with gay-themed lyrics.

I'm also a musician and a songwriter, so if anyone's interested in my music feel free to DM me and I'll link you, though I won't promote it here as it makes me feel self-consciously egocentric.
