"For queer women in pop, says [Jason King, dean of the University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music]: “There’s a way in which their sexuality can easily be recuperated by the straight male gaze, so men don’t feel excluded by their queerness.” That same “logic” doesn’t apply to male queerness."

@stefan the sad thing about this article is that it portrays success in the industry, the very top of the pops(!?), as being a 'good thing' (tm). I just cried my way through Udo Kier's Swan Song and very much doubt but the tiniest fraction of humans are aware he also made music. Or who Udo Kier was, for that matter. That the industry is of little use here does not surprise me. It has no purpose but profit. Mainstream artists, though, have shown support. Consistently.
