Homosexual Bands/Muscians
 

i just got the idea for this thread from the lounge

many people don't understand gay people, and since this is a music forum i figured the best way to understand them is to listen to their music not necessarily the music gays stereotypically like but the music gay musicians make. to better understand gays we'll listen to their music what does ed droste say about being gay, are all gays flamboyant or not? let's find out. hopefully this thread doesn't turn into a joke.

i'll start us off with a few:

Bloc party (the lead singer)
Vampire Weekend (guitarist, not singer)
Sigur Ros (lead singer)
Grizzly Bear (Lead Singer) [also think about the band name for a sec]
Final Fantasy (i think it's the lead singer)
Deerhunter (uhmm, guitarist?)
Antony and the Johnsons (lead singer)
The Magnetic Fields (Lead Singer)
Xiu Xiu (band leader) (he's technically bi)
Teegan and Sara (do i even have to say)
placebo
otep shamaya.
Husker Du
Lady Gaga (?)
John Cage
Elton John
The gay Blades
Judas Priest
David Bowie (?)
Queen (?)
the Buzzcocks
the Germs (?)
Big Boys
MDC
Ani Difranco
The Au Pairs
Gravy Train
Tom Robinson
the hidden camera




i'll also add bands and artists to the list


please only post gay bands and musicians that are actually gay. saying nickelback (i hate nickleback) is gay isn't a good post because the members are probably straight just because you hate a band doesn't mean they're gay. this thread is more about the gay bands we actually do like.

EDIT: oh and please don't post any porn here, that's just messed up and i'm sure a mod will ban you and delete your post as quick as possible if you do

so many swear words.

gay isn't a swear word, if gay should be blocked then so should straight.

As far as I know, Placebo cover the whole spectrum:

1 straight, 1 bi and 1 ***.

What about lesbians?

such as otep shamaya.

i almost forgot when trying to type gay apply a color to one of the letters

what about a-sexuals?

Lady Gaga is very *** friendly. I've also read that she's bi, but that is probably untrue.

Duh.
Also, Bob Mould and Grant Hart of Husker Du.

not to be offensive but she'd probably go bi if it would help her stay famous

Not to be offensive, either, but she'd probably burn a basket full of infants alive to be famous.

Anyway, John Cage was definitely ***, and he's a definitely an idol of mine.

Two-thirds of Hüsker Dü (guitarist/vocalist Bob Mould and drummer/vocalist Grant Hart). Ironically enough Greg Norton's mustache makes him look completely gay despite him being the only straight member.

The original post seriously needs some spell checking.

done :)

Bowie and Queen?

Rob Halford - Judas Priest

Oh, look at this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:***_musicians

I'm sure they have a lesbian one too. Thread is now pointless.

Wow, how did I not know that Grant Hart was also gay.

Naturally...

A couple come to mind. Everything I could think of has already been said.

Grizzly Bear - Ed Droste
Queen - Freddy Mercurry

i know what that is but we're also discussing them and we're listing the band names/monikers as well that list really only shows the real names

Did you really beat me to it?

Adding more that came to mind...
Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks is bisexual.
Darby Crash of the Germs was supposedly gay.
And I'm pretty sure the Big Boys and MDC had gay members.

hmm i only thought ed droste was the *** one of the band i didn't know daniel was to.

also grizzly bear is the best *** band name ever most people don't even realize it

If we're accepting bi musicians then definitely Ani Difranco. It's fun listening to her albums in chronological order because you track her moods from over the years, know when she was dating women at the time, that sort of thing.

wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut


I know of

The Au Pairs, I think their lead singer
Gravy Train!!!
Tom Robinson
I can't think of anymore atm but there's a lot

Oh woops my bad you're right Ed Droste is ***. And yeah Grizzly Bear is pretty amazing.

Yuuuup.

:love:

I've gotten **** for it plenty of times before, but I really do love Ani DiFranco.

hey i have a question is justin vernon ***? the only reason i ask is cause of this:

Gayest band, ever:

that's really not a bad song

That's a great song, and a great band, one of my favorites in fact. Certainly one of the most infectious, 4th place on my last.fm charts proves it...(:

Let's see...Melanie Viera (Tender Forever)
Clyde Peterson (Your Heart Breaks)
Definitely Tegan and Sara
Ah, the male member of Cheese On Bread
I'll think of more later. You already listed all the one's I was going to list. And yes Stone Birds, Owen Pallett is gay



@adidasss, The Hidden Cameras are great!

Sure looks like it!

a couple things:

i have no idea who owen pallett is
i have never mentioned own pallet
and i was asking about Justin Vernon

i don't care if my music is straight or gay, why do you?

Owen Pallett is Final Fantasy

Final Fantasy is a one man project. The man is Owen Pallett, he is a homosexual.

Michael Stipe, and the Village People (well I'm assuming they were all gay)

but some people do and that's the point of this thread, i liked grizzly bear long before i knew they were *** and i still like them.

the point of this thread was put in detail in the first post

listening to gay music doesn't help me understand them more, but i am a bit dense.

<------ This guy obviously.

Rufus Wainwright. I love his music.
