What Is Gay Music?: And Some of the Musicians Who Play It (2000-2020) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781667853253)

Opinions of what "gay music" is are as varied as are the types of music played by LGBTQ+ musicians. The opinions expressed in this book are culled from a wide variety of sources and interviews. The main focus of this book is from the opinions of the musicians--the people who actually play the music. That is who I wanted to hear from! My experience with these musicians has taken place over the past twenty years, years when the music has changed dramatically. You will hear from musicians who have been in the business for only a few years and some that have been traveling the United States for a lot longer than that. This book explores the similarities and differences between people, and all of their unique freedoms of expression. Every letter of the LGBTQ+ alphabet is represented in this document, as well as every style of music. You will be able to learn about the purpose of music, pronouns that are used currently, what the coming out process is like, why people are fascinated with LGBTQ+ individuals, why many of these people got into the music field, what their audiences are like, how they express their queer sensibility in their songs, as well as the social details available in society. There is also a description of several types of musical expressions. This book should make you a more informed person of today's society.
