Thanks guys finally answering my question. Why was that so hard to do for you?

They didn't. Plenty of people called them queer back in the day.

Yet again, the question was…HOW DID THE BIG HAIR BANDS OF THE 1990S GET AWAY WITH NOT BEING CALLED QUEER?

They all ripped off the New York Dolls in that regard. The Dolls were "there" long before the rest of 'em ….and they played better music.

Fuck you stupid!
You can't even answer the ****ing question! Stop wasting my time!

Not going to lie, I think gender confusion started a lot earlier then then 2010

So you think that queens don't do drugs?
I still don't get it. Nobody back then said this was queer when it clearly is queer!

Lots and lots of cocaine.

I wasn't born back then.

The 1970s were very liberal. More liberal than any time period.
If you don't think so, you weren't paying enough attention.

Honestly all those groups other than like 4, were mainstream appeal cuz I'd only knew of like Bowie, Liberace, Elton John and Little Richard openly doing queer stuff.

Queer was mainstream appeal back on the 1990s
duh fuq? It was "mainstream" all the way back to Shakespeare
and that was like the 1950s!

Anyway, among the nonsense you posted, this was on interest.
Politics play a part also. You had to do what the record labels saw as commercial appeal.
Queer was mainstream appeal back on the 1990s for record labels? But now nobody likes queers. Not even queers like other queers.

I only responded once in the thread and now this one.

Queen
Glam was a celebration of being a misfit.
You could be as outrageous as you wanted on stage.

Sorry Donna. 🥰

I guess I can accept that as an answer after hours of endless random comments from the board talking about everything except my question.

Because performers are allowed a certain amount of grace. Whereas your average Joe isn’t.

So why is it that bands wore makeup and were not called queers but today if a man wears makeup like those guys did, people label them as queer???
Answer the ****ing question or I refuse to reply to any more posts from you in this thread.
