i'm sure a lot of the time the record companies don't want the sexuality of an artist to be confirmed, as not to alienate potential fans and have backlash from certain sectors. many people in the artists inner circle know their deal, but just keep mum about it. for instance, the love affair between boy george and jon moss wasn't publicly exposed until years after culture club broke up, although the other two in the band knew full well what was going on. a few members of klymaxx are supposed to be gay too..at least Fenderella and Bernadetted Cooper anyway. Tevin Campbell was still young when he was with Quincy Jones, but i'm sure the record execs kinda had their suspicions (in that one world video, he walks and raises his hands like a runway drag queen)




Klymaxx performed at San Diego's Gay pride a few years back....Joyce "Fenderella" Irby I would suspect....but not the ultra fabulous ever so chic Miss "Don't slap me because I am not in the mood" Bernie Cooper....
I am not African. Africa is in me, but I cannot return.
I am not taína. Taíno is in me, but there is no way back.
I am not european. Europe lives in me, but I have no home there.
I am new. History made me. My first language was spanglish.
And I am

i don't have any tangible proof but i remember seeing several interviews with him/her where he spoke of being straight. he said drag was not a gay thing. years later he had a "coming out" interview. i think around the time of "...but i'm a cheerleader" if i'm not mistaken.


nope, cuz the wigstock movie came out at least two or three years before that flick, and ru is gay as can be in that flick. and i remember listening to ru's radio show back in '96 and he was hardly coy about his sexuality during his daily morning show. maybe waaaay back in the early-to-mid '80s, when he was doing his new-romantic/glam thing, he was all cryptosexual, but i think he came galumphing out of the closet at LEAST when he came out with "supermodel", if not a while before that.

Andy Bell and Jimmy Somerville were open about their sexuality from the very start. The Pet Shop Boys, on the other hand, were not.


maybe because Neil Tennant is the only gay one in that duo.

Rob Halford!


Y'know, I ALWAYS thought he was gay! My best friend and I used to give all the headbangers on the school bus shit about this! "Look man, he dresses like the biker from the Village People! He's totally queer!" (keep in mind, we were getting lots of shit for being into Prince and Duran Duran). Their repsonse was usually something to the effect of "fuck you man! He ain't no fag!!"

You can imagine how happy we were when Mr. Halford came out!!! lol Somewhere, those haedbangers are crying their eyes out!!!

The guys from New Order seem pretty gay me to too.
Michael Stipe's pretty gay.
Adam Ant.


Don't know about Morrissey, he always claimed that he was celibate (not saying I believe that, just that he claims it).

None of the guys in New Order are gay.In fact they're all married with kids.

Michael Stipe has been out for years.

Adam Ant isn't gay, although he has admitted to bisexual experimentation and transvestism.

I always see Rob in Hillcrest, which is the gay section of San Diego. He's a very pleasant man.

We went to his room
he had a videocamera
I was so nervous
I had to try hard not to stammer
He said
"I'm glad you liked the show
that crowd was dope out there
tonight, alright
You wanna see some more?
Well be my guest
You can have a private performance"
I'd fallen in love

I didn't ask why

he said we could be

just him and me
Then he joked
"Hey, man!
You name isn't Stan, is it?
We should be together!"
And he was passionate
I guess I would rate
him a nine out of ten
by then
I'd fallen in love

When I asked
why have I heard so much
about him being charged
with homophobia and stuff
he just shrugged

Next morning we woke
he couldn't have been a nicer bloke
Over breakfast made jokes
about Dre and his homies and folks
Neither of us asked if or when
we would see eachother again
but I thought that was cool
'cause I was already late for school

Dre as in Dr. Dre? And M&M? There could be some truth to that. I did some tracks for Dre's label for some girl rock group that he wanted to produce which turned into "Doggie's Angels". I know one of the girls pretty well, Big Chan. Anyway, I heard a GRIP of shit about Dre and M&M (stan).

Found this article in relation to all this:

Pet Shop Boys 'In Love' With Gay Eminem Character

04.16.2002 11:36 AM EDT




Eminem is portrayed as a homosexual in a new song by the Pet Shop Boys.
"The Night I Fell in Love," from the synth-pop duo's Release, due April 23, tells the story of a homosexual boy who falls in love with a rap star backstage at his concert and follows him to a hotel room for a "private performance."

The slow-grooving song does not reference Eminem or his Slim Shady or Marshall Mathers monikers, but the lyrics clearly spell out the star's identity.
"I said we could be secret lovers/ Just him and me," Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant sings on the tune. "Then he joked/ Hey man, your name isn't Stan, is it?/ We should be together." A later verse says, "I asked why have I heard so much about you being charged with homophobia and stuff, and he just shrugged."
Tennant, who is homosexual, said in a statement that if Eminem's music is going to be provocative, he is going to be provocative back.

"Eminem's defense of the homophobic lyrics on his albums has always been that he's not speaking as himself, he's speaking as a character, and he's representing homophobia in America," Tennant explained. "I thought it would be quite interesting to take that method and just to imagine a scene where a boy meets a famous rap star backstage at his concert and is surprised to discover he's gay and ends up sleeping with him. Just to present rap in this homosexual context. I mean, there obviously are gay rap stars."

Eminem was not available for comment, but MTV News played "The Night I Fell in Love" for his mentor and producer, Dr. Dre, who is referenced in a line from the song: "We joked about Dre and his homies."

"We needed another song anyway," Dre joked. "They just gave us a concept. Oh my God. I hope they can stand the backlash. That's funny as hell."

Although it is possible The Eminem Show, due June 4 (see "The Doc's Diagnosis: Eminem Still Crazy"), will have a retaliatory track from the rapper — he's gone after everyone from Britney Spears to Limp Bizkit in the past — Tennant was not intending to start a war of words. "I like Eminem's records," he said. "I think he's brilliant."

Release is the eighth studio album from the Pet Shop Boys, who are perhaps best known for their first single, 1985's "West End Girls." The duo's new record, which features former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr on several tracks, strays a bit from their signature style.

"The sounds we've used aren't really dance sounds," Pet Shop Boys' Chris Lowe said. "We found that the songs that we liked the most that we'd written weren't really dancey, and, having made that decision not to take dance elements, it was very liberating in terms of songwriting. It gave us a lot more freedom to experiment."

----

I wonder why Eminem is quick to go after Mariah on his new album two years later, but when PSB make a song stating a romance with a gay fan, he ain't got sh*t to say?
