Sam Smith claims there was 'lots of fear' surrounding the new style in their latest album, 'Gloria,' partly because 'the music industry is just not used to queer artists.'

"Gloria" features singles like the smash hit,"Unholy," which earned him Smith their first number one single in the U.S. "I think that you can't blame people for thinking something's not beautiful sometimes. Some people just didn't like it, but it was a case where I had to sit there and be like, ‘Wait, maybe you don’t like that because you don't understand it.

'" "The music industry is just not used to queer artists," Smith added.

Not everyone will give into the normalization of perversion.

Can’t watch “cooking shows on TV” today without seeing dozens of them. They must come in groups of twelve, cooking like hell, but doing well. Do they all really need to out themselves in public? Can’t they just be a good Chef? Why do they have to be known as a good gay chef?

No, I just don't like Sam's music.

Aleast pick out a outfit that matches your body. Tacky clothes are not a gender thing.

Prince … when they presented themselves decent. Enjoyable to hear and see. Now it’s just uncomfortable to watch any music videos of queer and straight people .

Is he implying there weren't any in the past?

No. They are used to artists with talent.

I am Root..🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's called make believe aka: pretending. The new age Black Face crushing feminism. Everyone embrace Gender Dysphoria a mental illness?

He needs to pick a side. 🤣 I can deal with gay but this weird non binary rap is BS. ITS STUPID!

I say the same as Trump there is just man and woman, and we don’t announce what we do in our bedrooms for it’s no one business. But the certain others who want to let our children know what they do in theirs. This is not a curriculum,it is raping a child’s mind I think.

The music industry is full of homosexuals

Shut up & sing…those who want to listen will, who cares of the test don’t? You….

Liberace's ghost is yawning.

ANOTHER QUEER; NO THANKS

And who can forget k.d. Lang. Her voice is absolutely beautiful. Sam’s voice sounds like so many others in the industry right now.

Guess he needs to find a new industry...

Yeh I think I remember Elton John saying that in 1970, nah never he actually had a brain unlike this person he never said that haha.

Freddy Mercury, Elton John, David Bowie, Rob Halford. Maybe the music industry is not interested in having your views pushed in people’s faces.

Just another person looking for attention

Sick at best. Descusring at worse

Get that goofball a white long sleeved shirt with buckles.

Maybe you're not talented, and Americans and the music industry understand that?

LOL

Doesn’t look good .

Music industry isn’t used to queer artists? some of the most impactful in history the last 50 years have been

What is that thing?

Yeah he’s a man

No No Sam, it's literally because something like 98% of the human population has zero interest in it.

🥱

He's right... For better or worse...

It is not fear it is revulsion.

Fat man singing in a dress get it right

Let's talk about the very popular and international loved band 'Queen'!!

Nor should it dressed like that.

Nobody is!!!

I see his fridge door hinges are non binary too

Elton John , Freddie Mercury, George Micheal .....hello ..... We're just not use to fat stupid ridiculous attention seekers . Gay staight bi the before mentioned had class. This non binary nonsense is pathetic

Well it ain’t fuckin normal to begin with 🤷🏼‍♂️

Judas priest, Freddie mercury, Lance bass.

LMAO.....What Melissa Etheridge, Elton John for starters

I hear that Elton John is quite a successful recording artist. And quite rich, too. But sure, whatever.

Guess he's never heard of Freddie Mercury, Elton John or Boy George.

Explain freddy mercury

He’s a very confused man who is so unhappy he will probably end up killing himself. We’ve seen this story before 🤦‍♀️

He’s a very confused man who is so unhappy he will probably end up killing himself. We’ve seen this story before 🤦‍♀️

When you mind gets fried from all the drugs

Neither is anyone else Sam

The 80’s alone are rife with them including some of the most legendary artists of all time: Queen, George Michael, Elton John, Culture Club, not to mention all the straight guys who dressed as sick from Kiss, ro Crue to Poison, etc

Disgusting

Not used to a fat guy in a sequenced jump suit for sure !

Male or female at birth. Period

When people suck, they start to blame others for their sickness.

samsmith Freddy Mercury,George Michael, Elton John,Culture Club etc... Ignorance

Yep, as the first queer artist lists, see how it goes. Oh yeah, does Elton John Freddy Mercury and a million others ring a bell

Has he ever heard of Elton John or Freddie Mercury?

What?

OMG

No way. Yathink?

Disgusting!

Mental. Next.

He forgot to include ' tubby'

Somebody tell Elton 🙄

Sam smith is literally awful 😂

Sir Elton has entered the chat.

we had Ricky Martin, and singers from Queen and Florida Georgia Line long before this guy. Ad long as the music and lyrics are worth listening to, no one cares about their seal preferences.

Lmao wtf

They are all queer

Uhhh newsflash should someone tell him?

bloody hell, what a sight

He got rotund as if once he came out he didn't have to look good. It's also a shame that he sings well.

Where the hell has this dweed been.

Idiot

Oh please. Go cry to Elton John.

Shut up Adele.

News for you Sam, you’re a biological male. Check your shorts !

I don't care what he is, but to say that is pretty dumb.

Majority of people are not queers, get over it.

Oh my what's this guy smoking , Sir Elton John did ok , same as the late Freddie Mercury and if you look at the 80's music videos loads was queer and happy about it .

So over this nonbinary crap!

I don't understand, I can start with Elton John himself, do I have to go on and locally tons, wow, what a bud

Elton John = 300 million records sold Queen = 300 million records sold David Bowie = 140 million records sold Judas Priest = 50 million records sold Sam Smith = 20 million albums sold We're just not that into you, Sam Smith.

Dear Sam, I think you're confusing 2023 for 1953.

Does your sexual identity make you a better performer? Just curious.

I've never heard of this Sam Smith until today, tbh. But apparently they don't realize that the entire industry they're in was pretty much BUILT by gay/queer folk all the way back to Johann Sebastian Bach (among other Classical composers) 🤦‍♀️ Sam needs a history lesson in music!

Is he non binary or queer?I didn't think you could be both.

Elton John? We just don't need queer anything on public display.

And it probably will not be.

Never hear of Sir Elton John or Freddie Mercury? Where do these people come from?

I can't unsee that.

Binary means two sided. What does non-binary even mean, then

Lol waaa?

Like we didn't have Queen or don't have Elton John or Liberace.

So?

Dunno why the Fox bashing...they are just reporting Sam's feelings....bash him if u think there's an issue. Smh.

A.simple.word...gay

I think he should be worring about getting fit and healthy.

Non binary. We just making shit up now

I’m a conservative and could care less what he wears. It’s clothes. Fabric. Not triggered

Damn, I cant unsee that…

They are used to them, it’s the majority of the public that doesn’t like it being jammed down their throats that the people making the music that don’t understand the realities

Did this person just start singing yesterday?

Nothing uglier than a man wearing a dress

Im rooting for Covid at this point……

For many, the music industry was their first exposure to queer artists. Groundbreaking musicians like Elton and Bowie and Freddie opened people’s eyes and created acceptance in a very intolerant world. Don’t know Sam’s experience, but it sounds like he’s full of prunes.

I don't think anybody really cares just play the music if your music's good they're gonna like you If you put forth bad music aint nobody gonna like you

Wrong....we're not used to using a 'platform' to compensate for not having any actual talent.

Back in the closet, PLEASE! For the love of all that's good and decent 🙄 you're an embarrassment

Sam Smith is too young to know about Boy George.

I like his music, but, honestly, I wish I never saw this picture. I hate it when celebrities use their platform to push politics, esp identity politics.

His blouse doesn't fit him.

There have been queer recording artists for AGES!!! Nothing new...get over it...

Uh? Freddie Mercury comes to mind. Elton John, George Michaels. So many more it’s not funny.

Bullshit, I will listen to your music if it’s good. Push your politics on me and I am out. Simple, you got one job, now sing.

fat guy ain't attractive

Queen, Elton John, Boy George, George Michaels, the list goes on... Maybe it's the lascivious performances that have people taking issue. And I like Sam Smith's music, even the song Unholy but the video... whoa. Pushing mainstream boundaries.

Hideous

It's time the world just walled the US in...

Is he fuckin kidding?

Typical

Yeah he’s a damn queer alright he got that part right

It's used to queer audiences.

Did this person forget about Elton John and the millions of fans and money he made?

Whos this guy ?

I think many artists in the music industry are gay, lesbian, or bisexual.

Rubbish

There are a ton of past musical celebrities that might disagree.

He is spot on.

Oh stop already…

Jenny Lorence thought she was the first woman action star. Why do these idiots keep thinking they are somehow groundbreaking?

Really🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

LOL what? It’s been Primarily Queer for years now

T

Really?

We're used to queer it's 2023! What we're not used to is the need to one up everything and be that person that takes it there. Well here he is. Being queer seems insignificant, I can't hear or see anything other than that shirt.

Just shut up. Anything to get attention. I'm not even going to try go through the list of Gay musicians that have been accepted through the years.

Dang, Guy Fieri has let himself go, or is that Duff the cake maker?

The industry if full of queer artists. Maybe people don’t like your music. Have you ever thought that not everything is related to your sexuality or gender identity?

Seriously have you heard of ELTON JOHN, BOY GEORGE, should I go on.

Nobody cares who your sleeping with get over yourself

That is a lie, or this person is totally uninformed. There has been amazing queer artist in music.

Anything outside male and female gender is a mental disorder. Binary and nonbinary are computer terms. Sam Smith got brainwashed by someone who thinks he is non-binary.

Dam, I guess they forgot Soulja boy existed.

Eat a Salad 🥗 Sam

Elton John, Boy George, Freddie Mercury, George Michael, Right Said Fred, Melissa Etheridge, K.D Lang and tATu (who just pretended to lesbians in order to gain more momentum and sell more records)

Nor should we have to be, our decision. No hate, just not my cup of tea.

Just another gay dude

He disgusts me. 🤮

If this was in the late 90’s Eminem would be cracking on this dude in a rhyme and video.

🙄

Fat

How it can be used to queer anything? Does “queer” not mean unusual?

Your bosses went to epsteins Island. So I doubt it

Vagina man...

My answer: If i like it…. I like it. If I don’t….. I don’t. No more explanation needed.

Non-binary 😂😂😂😂

Ever hear of Rob Halford of Judas Priest? I’m a republican and support gay rock stars. But you can keep your woke gender neutral crap non-binary meaning

What a putz, queer artists have existed for 50+ years or longer. Elton John/Freddy Mercury?

I saw a bunch of this in Cabaret with Liza Minnelli.

I’m pretty sure Freddy, Elton, Barry, and many others were accepted by the music industry 40 plus years ago!!

Ok

How about QUEEN?

Ya see samsmith , many many great gays before you, didn't need to use sex in every single song to sell. You were so damn good in the beginning, needed to advocate for your handlers, now your just making porno sound tracks. Cool!!

😂😂😂

Chubby Sam Smith

Non-binary seems like picking your own nickname

I feel deeply sorry for all people who were born without either sex organ. I could not imagine never being able to have sex.

Boy George broke that out in the 90’s. Get over yourself

We are used to gay artist, we are not used to artist making up shit

Cancel Fox News for promoting this

Looking for fame through victim status. To any reasonable human this should be repelling.

Pretty sure a good majority of elite musicians/artists as far back as the 1970’s are gay, but whatever he has to tell herself I guess.

How is Fox going to stay relevant in 20 years when most of its audience is in hell?

He's a great singer. He doesn't need to try so hard.

This guy is 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

These newer artists and actors aren’t aware of history

Freddie Mercury, Rob Halford, Elton John, etc.

The difference is, Little Richard and Liberace and Bronski Beat and Morrissey and Klaus Nomi had some talent. Keep trying.

Maybe it's the behind the music stuff. Something weird about the set up here. Imagining the one singing doing weird things. Things a person doesn't want to see. Think that might be it.

this is what happens when history is made anew each day when SS wakes from his restless slumber

No, just not to people that need to be in an asylum

Sam Smith is just budget Freddie Mercury

Or maybe his music just sucks 🤷‍♂️

History doesn't jive with that. Consider the 1920s to present.

So... Queen was?

Yes they are they are!
