Rockin' Gay Moments: No. 24
- Posted by Spinner
Halford Hails HomosexualityIn 1998, Rob Halford became the first heavy metal star to publicly declare his homosexuality. "I think that most people know that I've been a gay man all of my life," the Judas Priest frontman told MTV. "This is the moment to discuss it and to go into the reasons, and the whys and the wherefores as to the statement, the so-called coming-out phase." Now that's punk rock.

Are you people idiots or what? "Now that's punk rock" is a fucking saying that can also mean "sticking it to the man" or being a rebel.

"Now that's punk rock."
I'm sorry, when exactly did Judas Priest become punk, and when did it become punk to come out of the closet?
Judas Priest is not punk, Rob Halford's decision to come out is. Don't think so? You try it.
Never heard of "punk" rock... punk and rock are 2 separate genres of music.
Really? No, really?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Rob Halford and Judas Priest. They by far are my favorite band of all time. I grew up going to their concerts and listening to their music. I always knew Rob was gay but couldn't care less! He is the HARDEST rocker and had the best voice out there! He is still the coolest and I can't wait to see them again.
