LGBT in Metal

[poundingmetal74]

A video examining LGBT themes, musicians, culture, Halford's coming out story, and homophobia within metal music.

This video is pretty interesting also.

Don't feel like watching the video right now (if ever), but does this cover that obscure 80s demo band (either trad or thrash metal) with a dude that's now a chick? I've been trying to remember the name of that band forever and don't think I ever actually listened to them, but I'd like to now. For diversity.

 

[CiG]

They talk about the trans singer of Life Of Agony, but actually this video is quite good for what it is. You don't get the feeling you're being preached to by some radical Leftist campus fucktard like most stuff like this.

 

[RedStorm]

listened to the first few minutes, pretty good, the speaker is chill. but you know I'm gender fluid soooo

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Yeah I watched the first 12 minutes and it was ok, got bored after that though.

 

[CiG]

The main oversight I think the video is guilty of is in recognising that metal is always "welcome" to different people but at the same time implies some need to clean up the metal crowds.

Well sorry sir, it's welcome to everybody, literally. You don't ask for a place in metal, you take your place and defend it until you die.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

The entire part about metal fans being a network of friends and communities triggered the fuck out of me as a someone that is a solitary wolfkin. Fuck different people.

 

[CiG]

I like to fuck different people.

 

[J.]

yeah keith caputo now being a "chick" is weird. i love River Runs Red and Ugly. he does whine like a bitch a lot in the lyrics

 

[JontRevolting]

I didn't know that. I bet he cops the cry of 'show us where the axe hit you keith' a lot.
