“In the casual course of the conversation, we were talking about the overall music, and the direction, and the feelings. And I said something to the effect of, ‘Well, speaking as a gay man, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.’ And then I heard the producer’s clipboard bounce on the floor. It was one of those gay sharp intakes, ‘Oh my god, he’s come out!’
The pressure was gone, and there’s no more talking behind your back because you have all this ammunition of power as a gay person now, as an out gay person. Nothing can hurt you because this is it. You can’t throw insults, you can’t throw rumors, you can’t say anything negative about me because I am who I am. So that’s my wonderful memory of my great coming out day.”Judas Priest rocker Rob Halford speaking to NME about coming out on MTV in 1998.

like he needed to come out? i knew as a kid he was gay. it was so obvious- like a neon sign! him & elton were just blaringly obvious. if anyone thought otherwise, they were blind.
Cam
Yeah, he did need to come out because the large large large majority of his fans had no idea.

It’s easy for Cam to declare that any famous person should come out, and in exactly what manner according to Cam. After all, Cam hasn’t left his basement since the 20th century. Who’s he going to come out to in real life, the pizza delivery guy? No doubt the pizza delivery guy will be super-impressed and it will be a major step forward for LGBT rights. 🙂
(Yes, I wrote something like this once before but it was me, Heywood, not another screen name bc I don’t have any. And this can be verified using Google but Cam doesn’t know how to do that.)

Before Rap there were these people that actually made their own music. They were called Bands. Most of them had real names too.

A true rock god, and a gay icon in an area that needed one.
