[xballetxbeautyx]

Pink is bi? And Anthony Rapp is gay? I didn't know that!

Melissa Etheridge is my favourite. And Anthony Rapp, apparently. :p

[halfy]

i didn't know luther vandross was gay. i know pink is openly bi, which is great. madonna is bi, but unfortunatly just uses it to boost her career when she feels like it. the lead singer from savage garden - darren hayes is gay. so is the lead singer from bloc party. one of the singers from nsync is too, i forget his name.

[davo-man]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

I can't believe that I forgot Darren Hayes. I love Savage Garden *punishes self for forgetting* :D

Also, as for Anthony Rapp (Mark from RENT), he is an out bisexual

[crimsonarcher]

cristian chavez from mexican band RBD-
he's nice!
:D

[Rette]

How has nobody said Morrissey yet? Well, anyways, he's one of mine. And also Owen Pallett (who probably doesn't go beyond "obscure" in most countries)

[Seanboy23]

OMG! Wendy & Lisa!! By far!! They've been together since their days with Prince, but their solo music rocks! Now they compose the music for "Heroes", but I just heard they finally have a new CD coming out!!

[BreakingGlass]

OMG! Darren Hayes! His solo stuff is amazing!

[Lexington]

>>>OMG! Wendy & Lisa!! By far!! They've been together since their days with Prince, but their solo music rocks! Now they compose the music for "Heroes", but I just heard they finally have a new CD coming out!!

Ooo, dock the gargoyle three points for forgetting about Wendy & Lisa. :) And I guess I didn't consider Morrissey because of all those years he insisted he was totally asexual.

Lex

Wow, I didn't know Wendy and Lisa were gay, or together....That's interesting, and really cool.

I don't think Morrissey has ever actually 'come out' as anything other than, well, asexual.

OH! And David Bowie. He's amazing :). He came out as gay in 1972, but later told the world he was bisexual...but...yeah.

[lap531]

I'll have to say Tegan & Sara or Pink

[LornTehViking]

Leisha Hailey, anyone?
=P
And Tegan and Sara.

[Lexington]

>>>I don't think Morrissey has ever actually 'come out' as anything other than, well, asexual.

Actually, he FINALLY did. When he did press for his last album (King of the Tormented or something), he finally admitted he was not only gay, but partnered (legally?) with a guy in France. Yes, that's right - Morrissey in love. Currenly searching for further signs of the apocalypse. :)

Lex

[GunStarre]

Lead singer of Sigur Ros.
Icelandic band. One of my favorite music vid by them: (includes coming out)

[Lexington]

Oh, duh - another one I forgot. Bob Mould, of Husker Du/Sugar/solo fame.

Ivri Lider


Yay I am not the only one knowing him :) I hope you have seen the movie (Yossi and Jagger) from the Video as well (highly recommend).

Also .. hardly known anywhere, but Nathan Gray singer of ex-band "Boy sets Fire" is openly bisexual. He never made a fuzz out of it though :)

He is also quite cute
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/da/Boysetsfire-Nathan.jpg/400px-Boysetsfire-Nathan.jpg
and after one concert he hugged me - shirtless :D

However their drummer was cuter ;)

Here is a song for those who don't know the band:
ZZzMEAEX1L8

[SamAlex728]

[Vampyrecat]

OMG.

OR FREDDY MERCURY FOR INSTANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SamAlex728]

one of the singers from nsync is too, i forget his name.

Lance Bass.
OMG.

Why has no one mentioned Missy Higgins???

OR FREDDY MERCURY FOR INSTANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, he is still awesome. But I'm pretty sure he wasn't out. :confused:

[Lexington]

He was ambisextrous. And it was pretty well known. :)

Lex

[brighteyes52]

Mine would have to be Jay Brannan, by far. =)

[Rubra et atra]

*insert names of various Broadway performers here*
They are too many to list (yes, I'm lazy) but they sure are some of my favs.

Freddie Mercury is another fav too.

[riddlerno1]

Anyone mentioned darren hayes from savage garden

[Trumpetplyer23]

>>>I don't think Morrissey has ever actually 'come out' as anything other than, well, asexual.

Lex

O.o, wow.

It is a sign of the apocalypse.

[Level N Human]

Nobody's said Le Tigre yet. Shame on you all. And that's all 3 members too.

Also, Stephen Merritt of the Magnetic Fields is awesome.

[lcr guy]

Does Christina Aguilera counts? She admitted she was more turned on looking at females than males. O.O However she said she was totally misunderstood. Mmmhmm. I dunno, bi-curious? Does that counts? :p

[mediumdietcoke]

Jay Brannan & Sam Sparro & Billie Joe Armstrong & Elton John & Queen Latifah!!!!
