Because we have never had gay artists selling out arenas, and thriving and suceeding.
I do get what he is saying, and he is correct, but the way he is saying it..is silly and does come across like gay artists have never been sucessful.
Have found this thread quite eye opening actually. I don't know why I still get surprised but to see people claim homophobia just isn't a thing today (and on a thread full of homophobic comments too)...well
