Exactly Elton has always been a huge success and it's because he's a good singer , Freddie was hugely popular with Queen , George Michael did ok as well .

Wait... George Michael, Freddie Mercury and Elton John have/did have great careers so homophobia doesn't exist?

Is that seriously your argument for this topic?

What else does the success of those artists have to do with the topic if that wasn't what he meant?

He's not though.

He literally says people like him wouldn't be where they are without those artists who helped knock down barriers and change things for the better that came before them.

He's merely saying there are still barriers that need breaking down.

Much in the same way women have come a long way over the decades but there's still a way to go to achieve real equality and stamp out the homophobia and sexism.
