.Jakeshears celebrated this year’s Pride by making us cry -- in a good way, of course.

that with Semi Precious Weapons, who were glam in a different way, he sometimes would feel like the label didn’t really have his back when he would get abused by fans or get called “fag” at festivals or whatever. Did you experience that?

So I hope in certain ways queer kids don’t feel as alone. I don’t envy them at all, though.

Queer acceptance can vary from genre to genre, scene to scene -- but mainstream pop seems extremely accepting of any and all identities. And yet we still hear stories about young artists -- particularly young men -- in pop who are not comfortable being out. Does that make any sense to you?
