Oscar Wilde is the earliest example I can think of. But pop culture celebrities probably didn't really exist much before that, so it may be a lack of celebrity, not the fact that people weren't aware of gay people. I don't think any of this is recent at all. I think it all goes all the way back. Gay people have always been living along side straight people.

Average folk in the the US never minded gay people as comedians on game shows or playing pianos with candelabras. They thought it was funny and enjoyed it. They just didn't want to be informed about the specifics of what was going on behind closed doors. If that part was kept under wraps, Rock Hudson could be a sex symbol, Johnny Ray could cry, and Dom Deluise could camp up scenes in Burt Reynolds movies. Everyone knew and no one cared.

Dom Deluise acted camp as fuck but there's no good evidence the man was actually gay.
 
What a disaster. I don't think you can even call this "music", it sounds like they released the track half finished.
The woke song. Watching some millionaire whore go full Moviebob is amazing.
What if the superior future is one where plebs stop draining their bank accounts to pay for terrible music and movies.
 
Madonna is a terrible role model. She's been living in a bubble for almost 40 years, separated from the normal world. She's a product of the present world order and capitalism, yet she once again urges people to "rise up". What a faux Madam.

Give her a break, she's elderly. They're often easily confused by lights and sudden movements
 
Imagine being the one pop culture monstrosity that actually asked to be parodied by Weird Al. That's pretty narcissistic in a very odd way.

Average folk started objecting to gays in the 60s because they marched and rioted, not so much because they were gay. It didn't matter if it was women's lib or gay lib or racial equality... They hated the upheaval and lack of control over society more than they hated the individuals. There were exceptions of course. Every person is bigoted differently, and there were pockets of society that were less tolerant. But if you look at the overall popular culture of the 20th century, you'll see that it was relatively open to differences in people. That was actually a selling point.

Paul Lynde is an excellent example of this. He was a regular on Hollywood Squares for over 10 years and that was aired on network TV everyday. People loved him, but there was no question that he was as gay as a picnic basket.

The thing we're seeing or have been seeing is that people are being shoved into categories whether they like it or not and other people don't like those categories. However, we all know that if someone who doesn't like a specific category meets an individual within that category, it's usually a well they're the good kind mentality.

Madonna has always been purposefully ambiguous about her sexuality even though she's demonstrated a preference for men. Remember that tacky ass Britney Spears kiss at, what was it, the VMA's years ago?

Madonna always talks shit about Lady Gaga and therefore is trash.

Like... you're not the first female pop artist, you won't be the last. At least Gaga's arms don't look like bat wings.

Be civil. Don't get angry over Lolcows. If you need to tell people you're better than someone, you're probably not.

This applies to Madonna. She A-logs at other people feeling this need to make herself larger than life when she's no better. That's fucking hilarious and sad.
 
She's really got no clue. That Pol Pot monologue at Eurovision had a shoutout to a $450 hoodie company in it. Because nothing goes better with the imagery of an oppressed proletariat dragging out the guillotine than obscenely overpriced hiphop wear.

It's entirely accurate for the wokiest folx, but probably not something you want to deliberately draw attention to.

Who needs singers when you have autotune? And will the ghost of Tchaikovsky rise up and kill all those involved?

Apparently there is one song where they sample the comments of a survivor in Parkland School shooting:

“Us kids don't know what we're talking about, that we're too young to understand how the government works. We call BS,"
Indeed, sometimes not even 60-year-old women know how the government works.

There is a line in that so-called song "Dark Ballet" that is relevant of these ultra-rich showbiz woke types: keep your beautiful lies, 'cos I'm not concerned.

What wonderful songcraft, hip as Beat poetry.

"Killers Who Are Partying" (Ciccone / Ahmadzaï )

I will be gay, if the gay are burned
I'll be Africa, if Africa is shut down
I will be poor, if the poor are humiliated
And I'll be a child, if the children are exploited

I know what I am
And I know what I'm not

I'll be Islam, if Islam is hated
I'll be Israel, if they're incarcerated
I'll be Native Indian, if the Indian has been taken
I'll be a woman, if she's raped and her heart is breaking

I know what I am (God knows what I am)
And I know what I'm not (And He knows what I'm not)
Do you know who you are?
Will we know when to stop?

I know what I am (God knows what I am)
And I know what I'm not (And He knows what I'm not)
Do you know who you are?
Will we know when to stop?

Wild is the world
And lonely is a path
To come to you

Is this the reason why Tupac left her? Holy shit at all that hair
 
She really should stick to those cool anime video things like she did for Drowned World Tour. But honestly she should just stick to being a choreographer/dancer, maybe mentoring younger artists or producing.

I still don't get why she hates Cyndi Lauper tho. Apparently its hard to get along,

Is their feud really real? I always thought it was manufactured by record companies.

Anyway, they've long gone on separate directions and each got more or less what she wants. Madonna got more wealth than 10 Third-World countries combined; Cyndi Lauper got respect.

This exactly! And dispite her being largely a memory of the 80's for a lot of people, shes has a steady career, and has loyal fans. She is ALWAYS on tours.
These days, Madonna chimes in something people brace themselves for the inevitable fuck up, cos she doesn't have to care about shit, and money don't make you sane.
 
Hilarious- Madonna is so fucking boring and played out that people talked about the presence of homosexuality in popular culture for a few pages.

Calling herself or her record (not sure which she actually did) MDNA I think is the pinnacle of her tarnished legacy. She went from a cultural icon to trying to adjust her name for an album or whatever to appeal to younger people who happen to enjoy club drugs. Fucking pathetic.
