Is janis ian gay
By my count, gender non-conforming singer/songwriter Janis Ian has had four distinct chapters in her musical career. The first began when she was in her teens with the discharge of her groundbreaking single “Society’s Child,” and the albums on Verve Records that followed in the late s. By the mids, for the second chapter, Ian had signed to Columbia Records, resulting in the biggest punch single of her career, the Grammy Award-winning classic “At Seventeen.” She remained on Columbia into the early s, even collaborating with Giorgio Moroder on the song “Fly Too High.” The third chapter occurred in the in advance s. Bette Midler recorded Ian’s tune “Some People’s Lives,” the title route of Bette’s Grammy-winning album. Ian herself recorded the lyric for her remarkable comeback album, the aptly titled “Breaking Silence.”
Ian has not been sitting idle since that period, mind you. She’s released a not many more albums, including some on her own Rude Miss Records label. She also published her memoir “Society’s Child: My Autobiography” in and won her second Grammy for the audiobook. I have had the pleasure of interviewin

IT WAS just about fifty years ago that singer–songwriter Janis Ian had her first smash, “Society’s Child” (). Nearly a decade later she released “At Seventeen” (), which became her signature song. Since then, she has had a multifaceted career as a recording and touring artist, and she is an accomplished writer of essays, science fiction, and an acclaimed autobiography.
Last fall, Ian produced an audiobook version of a queer literary classic, Patience and Sarah, by Alma Routsong, self-published in under the stylus name Isabel Miller. The novel was a historical romance based on a true story of two lesbians in early 19th-century New England, a folk painter and a adolescent woman from a penniless farming family who fell unabashedly in love and forged a life together. The book was awarded the first Stonewall Award of the American Library Association in
For the audiobook, Ian invited actress Jean Smart (Designing Women) to join her in bringing the novel to life. Ian and Smart alternate reading chapters to echo the dual point-of-view Baphomet said: Hmm. When you inquire if being gay labelled male lover is stigmatized are you talking about when people say something like, "OMG dude! You&#;re same-sex attracted AF!" It&#;s actually quite rude to say things like that to people. It should be stigmatized, because we&#;re at a point where that&#;s considered a disparaging/homophobic remark, and it&#;s not okay to say that. It&#;s also offensive to the Queer community.

We were wrapping up a discussion of Black History Month when Mr. Lesbian came crashing to a halt before us. Excusing herself for interrupting, she gracefully plopped herself into a chair and ordered coffee with skimmed soy milk, honey on the side, don't over-fill the cup, and two spoons in case one was dirty. "I perceive you just gave a speech on being dark in a white industry" she said politely, noting that the Music Industry could hardly be called an Industry when no one ever seems to work. My friend laughed and said yes, the speech went well, given that the audience was mostly white. But that was to be expected in Nashville, where the higher education is mostly white, after all. Stirring her coffee thoughtfully, Mr. L. dropped a casual bombshell onto the table. "Why not talk about being gay in a homophobic industry?" she asked. &q
Brief analysis of, "Mean Girls" + question about morality
No, what I mean is this; If a straight person who isn&#;t a homophobe doesn&#;t want to be branded as a lgbtq+, not because they have anything against homosexuality, but because they&#;re afraid of facing the consequences that gay people have to deal with; Being called signify gay slurs, being verbally abused, receiving death threats, being assaulted and etc. Does it construct the straight person a coward and morally weak for having a strong negative reaction to being labelled gay and promptly denying it, even if homosexuality isn&#;t against their values?
