Closeted lesbianism. Those women were attracted to the 'female' appearance of those men.
1980s society wasn't as progressive as they'd have you believe.

Seems unlikely because those guys were getting ****ed by women!
Lesbians aren't sexually attracted to penis.

Right, and guess what those same women were doing with each other?
You got it, "swinging" is what it was called.
Swinging = nohomo

You're not answering my question tho.
How did those guys get away with wearing full makeup and not be trashed for acting like a queer?
Cuz by today's standards a man that wears full women's makeup is considered QUEER
But these rock guys didn't get stigmatized. They treated like sex gods.

LOL They didn't look like that outside of the concert venue.
Most of what you saw was promotional stuff, not reality.
Also, according to Dee Snider of Twisted Sister, most of them wore wigs.

Okay you're not understanding. What the **** is your exact problem? The cover art of their records and their posters in Teen magazine.
They were wearing full makeup.

He's not disputing if they wore full makeup or not. He's saying they didn't walk around in their everyday days looking like that outside of concerts video shoots and photo shoots.

This is so easy to figure out Donna, that even you should have been able to figure it out. In layman’s terms: Women love fags. Heck. There’s a whole bevvy of faghags at this site alone

They weren't fags!
Bon Jovi
Motley Crue
Poison
Kiss
Guns n Rose's
They are not gay men but they were wearing full women's makeup back then. Except for Kiss. Kiss wore costume makeup but their hair was flawless!

GN'R ditched the makeup look once they made it big. Axl did the look to fit in the LA band scene at the time.

The same way the 70s glam rockers did.

I don't know anything about that Era. It was before my time

Glam rock bands from the 60s and 70s paved the way for the 80s bands. David Bowie is a prime example. It was also the beginning of the sexual revolution where it was cool to be bisexual, wear makeup, platforms and women’s clothing. Watch The Velvet Goldmine movie.
