Everyone is gay. This is Everyone Is Gay, a lumn by Niko Stratis on genr and sexualy neti mic—and how pop culture failed to talk about at the time. When Kurt Coba om Nirvana sand "everyone is gay" All Apologi, did he mean gay as stupid, or was he ally?

[Ser]Did Kurt Coba's Lyric "What else uld I say Everyone is gay" the song "All Apologi" beg the e of the phrase "That's so gay" society? Where/when did gay take on a lloquially different meang?

He n't lerally mean everyone is a homosexual man.

KURT COBA'S 1993 ADVOTE COVER STORY: 'I'M GAY SPIR'

And what ed him to e the term "gay" rather than somethg more offensive? What did Kurt mean by "God Is Gay"?

The men were proudly sexist and homophobic (Skid Row's Sebastian Bach famoly wore a T-shirt that read, "AIDS Kills Fags Dead"), on the other hand, was sensive and effemate -- someone who regularly spoke out for mori and lled out racism, misogyny, and homophobia. While many remember Coba and his Nirvana bandmat wearg drs and kissg vios and live performanc, virtually fotten is the fact that Nirvana performed at a gay rights benef Oregon promotg Nirvana's late-1992 pilatn album Inctici -- which clud the followg statement s ler not, "If any of you any way hate homosexuals, people of different lor, or women, please do this one favor for : leave the fuck alone!

Y, KURT COBA WAS A GNGE IN. HE WAS ALSO A GAY RIGHTS HERO.

In the Advote article, Coba displayed fort speakg wh an LGBTQ publitn and a faiary wh gay culture, often g terms like "homophobia" and "misogyny, " appreciatg the scriptn of Love as a "fag hag, " and rellg the time he saw the Village People are some of the choict quot om the terview wh journalist Kev Advote: I read the ler not you wrote on Inctici. I've never seen somebody on a major label say, "If you're a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, we don't want you to buy our rerds.

I n talk about those issu terviews -- I thk 's pretty obv that we're agast the homophob and the sexists and the racists, but when "Teen Spir" first me out, mastream dienc were unr the assumptn that we were jt like Guns N' were his words: "You shut your bch up, or I'm takg you down to the pavement.

Those people are total sexist jerks, and the reason we're playg this show is to fight homophobia a real small way. The guy is a fuckg sexist and a racist and a homophobe, and you n't be on his si and be on our si. " [Lghs]You know, you were probably takg money om people who were votg y on 9 [an antigay ballot measure] -- but they really wanted to see Nirvana.
