In retrospect, what Rob did was god tier trolling. He popularised the leather culture amongst the metal fans, wrote many lyrics that are gay as hell, all the while his fans thinking this was the manliest and most hetero thing ever.

Well that's precisely it and you have hit the nail on the head. I touched upon it in another post. People like Rob allowed us to be who we are in the mosh pit, rocking out to tunes that moved us emotionally. That only results in people being more true to themselves. When that spills over into breaking the barrier down on people's sexual persuasion it's even better. Life is short and love is paramount in this lifetime.

I’m getting old so sometimes I’m not sure if something actually happened long ago in my life or if I dreamed it 😂, but I could swear, long before 1998, back when I was in high school, sometime around 1984-85, that Rob Halford took part in a Gay Pride Parade. I keep seeing “1998” as the year Halford came out, but I can recall being completely unsurprised at that time. Now, I heard this second-hand from a classmate (and it was looooong before the internet came into our lives), so maybe all the facts aren’t in accord with each other, but even if I have some facts wrong, it still has Rob Halford as coming out a full decade-plus before he’s generally credited. Maybe he took part in the parade as a “friend” to gays, not as actually being gay himself, but where I went to school, metal was the music 90% of white kids were listing to (black kids were heavily into RUN-DMC and all those early, 80s hip hop groups & artists, as that was exploding at the time. It’s a major reason that Aerosmith began their comeback, because run dmc were HUGE). Anyone else recall anything like this? Nothing seems to come up when I google it, so Maybe I dreamed it? (I don’t believe I dreamed it, but who knows?)

Due to growing up in the south, I was around a lot of homophobia. Had it heavily dictated among my elders, peers, and others that it was a terrible thing. And I'd be lying if I didn't say I thought in that same manner. Then I got around more gay kids in my teens, and over the years, I just realized that they weren't what I'd been taught to think they were. Even more of a lesson was when friends I'd thought were straight had later came out. The saddest thing of all is the individuals that have been killed or killed themselves, because they love differently.

I'd been a huge fan of Priest (and Motorhead) since the mid 70's and was a bit starstruck. We met him at a gay bar by LAX. Lemmy said, "Yeah, Rob's a queen... and he's one of my best friends in the world." I was 19 years old at the time... It was an amazing experience. I kept it to myself for many, many years.

@@Kgio-2112 "Some gays" and some straight people define their public image through some kind of overt sexualization. That kind of thinking just encourages them to stay in the closet, hiding a large part of their personal being from society, which is why Rob Halford made it such a big deal to reveal himself being homosexual. People have this kind of thought that expressing yourself as gay makes someone a sex-addicted degenerate or something, instead it's just someone being attracted to the same gender and not much else after that. I've known straight people who have talked more about sex than any gay person I know. There are tons of shit in the world such as videos of Islamic beheadings, news articles about child abuse, murder, plenty of images of dead bodies, and more. I mean I also don't want to see images of gay porn as a straight man, but that's the least of my worries if anything and it's anyones god given right to view them if they want to.

I was a teenager around 19 years old when Rob did this interview, and I was not shocked at all when he admitted that he has been a gay man most of his life. The only reason why I always suspected that he was gay was because of the Police Academy movies with the Blue Oyster Bar scenes. The way they were dressed was very identical to the way Rob Halford dressed. It was never an issue for me because in my eyes Rob Halford was and still is the greatest lead singer ever. What he and other musicians do in their private life is none of my business. Since this interview, Rob has released some amazing albums with his solo band Halford, and had return to Judas Priest back in 2004 and has done some amazing albums with them as well.

If it is Music and Metal, there's a tribal communion in the air that binds everyone, like in an ancient battlefield. But he did well being frank with millions of fans worldwide. Guess he doubled the respect he always got from us. Long live Rob.

I don't care about his sexuality, after reading his book, he is a good person. Not a prima donna like most rock stars.

Not gay but quite sexually ambiguous... He helped me understand that it was not all sexuality, it was about living a life in a certain way, outside the cliche. This guy made us dress bdsm i mean, lol he doesnt follow, he leads.

Who cares? He's famous and can use his platform to raise awareness, yeah. But he's just a cool singer. Who gives a toss about who he's buggering?

I remember the furore after he came out in the music press and other bands chiming in with opinions . Seeing the band play live it’s not like he was trying to hide anything and it’s nobody’s business anyway, it doesn’t change the way the songs made them feel.

I have been a long time and if you just breathe since the late 80s I'm 43 years old now and it never changed my opinion of him or the band I've seen in concert many times and have all the respect in the world for Rob Halford.... If you listen to a lot of the lyrics on the album defenders of the faith you'll hear a lot of homophobic references

Rob kicks ass, and I admire him for coming out. although he certainly did steal Judas Priest thunder here lol they had just gotten Tim Ripper Owens in the band and that was a whole story in itself.

I don’t think anyone was shocked, because it was very obvious with how he dressed and some of the song names. I think people were just glad he finally came out.

Metal heads are the least homophobic fans on the planet. Nobody I knew gave a shit that he was gay in the 80's and 90's. We loved Rob for his music and respect him for his music.

Basically, the people who would care are the ones we'd throw out of the scene, because it's not metal to be a bigot.

Breaking the law is about him getting arrested for soliciting down on the beach were the gays would hangout. It makes you think about some priest songs. Ram it down, point of entry, the sentinel, living after midnight. I always figured the original name of turbo lover was bunghole lover. I could careless that he's gay. He's the metal God & will always be. I've met him several times with fight & halford. He was very nice, respectful, quiet & reserved person to meet.
