    KD Lang was such a revolutionary. I was just a kid in 1990 but remember overhearing relatives talking about her with disdain. They loved KD's music, but didn't approve of her appearance and "lifestyle". I remember not understanding their disgust for such an eloquent and beautiful person. It was my first experience with homophobia and the reason why I always stood up with the gay and lesbian communities as a straight woman and always will. There should be no room for hate in the world.

      I had the opposite and I'm so grateful to my mum, she played her all the time when I was little but I didn't know what she looked like then I saw a CD case and said 'thats a very pretty man' and she explained it was the women singing the song and that "she dressed like that because she preferred it and that she kissed girls because she preferred it' - and that was that no big deal.

    Dang. Arsenio's approach to the androgenous/gender-bending topic was the most sensitive, personable, humble, and just downright honest that I have ever seen in any interview ever. Major props to the man. (And love, of course, to k d.)

    • @kdrcampbell
      @kdrcampbell ปีที่แล้ว

      It's interesting that even in 1990, Arsenio danced around the issue a bit.

      @@kdrcampbell (Friendly warning: Long-winded comment ahead.😋) I felt he was being sensitive to the interviewee. He was careful not to be confrontational and not to force her into territory she might not be comfortable talking about. As a gay person who came of age the '90s, I can tell you it was far from safe to be out. It was the time of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in the military ( a policy enacted by an otherwise progressive President, Bill Clinton), a situation referred to as "witch hunts," when you could be dishonorably discharged if your homosexuality became known. And many were blackmailed, ensnared by mates pretending to be gay, and outright outed for that very purpose. I knew coaches and teachers who had to be entirely closeted for fear of losing their jobs. I, myself, was fired from a very hippie, alternative little natural foods store because I wore a pro-gay t-shirt to work, having just returned from a most exhilarating March on Washington. Our store had no dress code, no policy regarding homosexuality, and I was given no warning. As for k.d. lang, for all her successes, accolades, and awards, when she came out in the '90s her music was banned from several U.S. radio stations. And she actually faced a picket line outside the '93 Grammies, even though inside she would go on to win the award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. She has since said that dealing with the whole coming-out fallout was something she struggled with for years. So, yeah, the '90s weren't all that forgiving to the gays.

    She is such a courageous human with such personal integrity. So comfortable in her own skin when referring to herself as both a woman, and alternative. Even young, she had such a finess of class about her. Not militant like today, like the noise makers that KD blazed a trail for. God Bless her.

    Kinda of interesting to hear her talk about her image and how she was perceived but she looked every bit the part of a pretty pop star in the Miss Chatelian video. She was all dolled up and looked damn good, it was almost like her saying "i could if I wanted to, but don't need to". Nothing really matters once she starts singing though, just a phenomenal singer.

    I love KD and her voice is just divine..thought a few of the questions were a bit unwarranted..in 2022 they wouldn't be asked but she dealt with them with charm and wit.. whoever is threatened by her are unsafe in themselves their own skin..she should've been a much bigger star because in my humble opinion her divine pure voice is only bettered by Karen Carpenter. All her songs are magic but I think both Crying and Hallelujah covers are better than the originals and even Roy Orbison said so..🇬🇧💞✝️🙏🎶
