My name is Morgan and I'll be exploring the topic of sexuality in rock music during my time in this class. Rock music has always been a guilty pleasure of mine, and I get really excited when I find musicians that create music exploring sexuality in a positive way, or musicians that are openly and unabashedly supporters of the LGBTQ movement.
Many rock musicians that you probably already know of including: Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Freddie Mercury (Queen), Beth Ditto (The Gossip), Chuck Panozzo (Styx), Joan Jett (The Runaways), Janis Joplin (Big Brother and the Holding Company/Janis Joplin), Otep Shamaya (Otep), Michael Stipe (R.E.M.), Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day), Romy Madley Croft (the xx), and Marilyn Manson (Marilyn Manson/Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids) identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, etc.
I hope to enlighten you about anything and everything surrounding the LGBTQ community, sexuality, and it's relation to rock music and rock musicians.
This is an article from another blog that I found that talks about the rock star Marilyn Manson's sexuality and how he portrays himself through his music.
Enjoy!
