Twisted sister just being twisted sister and saying that if some guy thought that wearing pink jackets with spikes, drag queen make up and heels made them “less of a man” they could just fuck off because rock isnt about that gender centered shit.

Lou fucking Reed went to conversion therapy for being gay and later on he went and wrote a bunch of rock songs about the LGBT community and traumas caused by homophobia. One of The Velvet Underground’s albums was listed by Rolling Stone as the 13th most influential rock album from all time, and it was all about an ex boyfriend named Nico.

ALSO from the first wave of rock and roll in the 60s, The Kinks had Sir Ray Davies, an openly queer vocalist in the fucking 60s who also wrote a popular song about a trans woman (Lola) and had some huge hits people still listen to 50+ yers later. The Who made huge success also in the 60s and Pete Townshend (vocals) came out as bisexual and non binary during an interview in 89!!

Prince on live tv wearing tight pants with huge holes on his buttcheeks and singing about kissing girls and boys.

Even some more “conservative” artists in the 60s like George Harrison and Bob Dylan were writing love songs to each other?? One of Bob’s writings to George actually says “All I have is yours; I’ll let you have me anytime”. They were described as soulmates by George’s wife.

To finish my ted talk I’ll just leave Mick Jagger being a himbo with glittery eyeshadow, tight corserts with titties out, low waist tight pants with a PINK BRA ON? Bowie wearing a dress in a 1970s album cover??

Not to mention Mick Jagger’s wife coming home to find him shagging Bowie on their bed (70s celebrity gossip at its best).
