^ I forgot about Melissa Etheridge. In fact she besides RuPaul and Boy George was the most visible gay artist in my childhood lol

Good call Melissa came out just on the bubble of crossing over.

I know kd. lang was there and Melissa was talking at the podium and just spontaneously came out. It could have been at one of the inagrural balls.

I still remember their kiss (Melissa's and kd's). I think that was how she "announced it". Now that I think about it, didn't kd precede Melissa when she had that cover of her and Cindy Crawford helping her "shave"? I love the statements they were making in the '90s lol

Yes though kd was never really "In" she was out when she was still up in Canada, then when country music rejected her she made a public announcement and went from there. The she did the Vogue photo spread.

when you paste the web address, sometimes the browser pastes it as a link (blue or purple, and underlined) so you need to unlink it by selecting it and hitting the button that looks like a broken chain.

should look like this (I added spaces in "youtube" so you could see the code)

You know what's so ironic about this track?

Whoever wrote it apparently didn't know Sylvester didn't roll like that but I guess this was trying to have a bisexual context I don't know. Same with the video I guess.

Didn't Martha Wash sing background on this one?
