* kele bloc party gay *

Seemed like only yteryear that Bloc Party’s gay ontman Kele Okereke was a slenr smooth-shaven die rocker. But then he me out as gay and went om unual to unique. A black, gay role mol die mic; was a label that, at the time, he didn’t love.

I’ve always wanted to be a father, but as a gay man I didn’t know if was possible. I feel, as a gay man, as a gay sger, you n fall to a hab, fall to the trap, of thkg we’re not really allowed to exprs sire.

That as a gay man sgg about love and sire everythg has to be d, has to be kd of hidn. Beg able to sg hontly wh Olly, someone who I know unrstands this kd of stggle that gay sgers have to go through, is liberatg. Speakg about Olly, I would say that you’ve fely paved the way for a new generatn of young gay sgers.

I feel there are lots of gay sgers bands, or gay artists and that’s kd of great. I will say though that I’m not that exced about the fact that, of the mastream gay artists workg who I n thk of at the moment, [ don’t] seem as if many of them are takg the mantle and tryg to ph our muny forward.

I don’t see many gay artists the mastream beg that real, to be hont. There’s still a long way for gay artists to go terms of beg fully realised and beg able to exprs themselv the way that heterosexual artists do.
