Neil's voice is a blessing to any song, any mix.
"Why"in the 80s was a political protest song by Bronski Beat. Even then I found it shrill and unpleasant. I'm gay, am I allowed to critique Bronski Beat as being just okay? Smalltown Boy was authentically moving and memorable. And then they went on to...? There's only so much male soprano pop can take I guess.
I suppose the gay rights movement of the 80s-90s era is being excavated + revivified + commercialized because that's what our dead culture does now. No new creation, just vulturing the carcass of the past.Picking flesh off the bones.

I mean… in general, in the west, what does a young gay man have to protest that’s unique to his sexuality? The 70-90s are where it’s at.

Again, I ask: you hear any of these mixes in the club and you think to yourself “damn, that’s some bangin’ indie dance!” lol.

The fact you have to ask this is sad. Times are better for gay people in the UK, but there is still queer bashing and rampant transphobia.
