"Almond has stated that he dislikes being pigeon-holed as "a 'gay' artist", saying that such a label "enables people to marginalise your work. I am a singer who happens to be gay".
That is a wonderful quote, happy. It really is not fair to pigeon-hole an exceptional artist. Celebrate their talent and accomplishments, yes. But don't keep them in one box unless that is where they want to be. I just found out that one of the men on one of my favorites soaps is gay. I have been watching him for twenty years and never knew or even thought about it. He plays a married straight man on the show. And apparently he was always out in real life but I just never heard it cause I was not following his career outside the show, lol. He is a really good actor and has played this role very well.
I thought Adam's musical was about a rock and roll person. Maybe I misread that because he said it was a rock opera and there would be rock and roll music. Many thought Jobriath until Adam said the person was alive. But that interview could have been a misquote. And I can't remember but did he say the person was gay?
