A comprehensive analysis of how LGBT artists have influenced musical trends.

From jazz and blues to glam, punk, and pop, the history of music is full of LGBTQ+ artists who haven't always had their rightful place. David Bowie Made Me Gay is a rigorous, accessible, and gripping essay that explores a century of musical creation from the queer experience.

Darryl W. Bullock talks about artists like Marlene Dietrich, Billie Holiday, Little Richard, and Freddie Mercury; the Pansy Craze between the wars, drag queens in the 1930s, Weimar Berlin, and Paris, London, and New York as epicenters of bohemianism and resistance. He also discusses the impact of Nazism, Hollywood censorship, the post-Stonewall uprising, the death of David Bowie, and everything that happened in between.
