It’s Gay Pride Week. And it’s the weekend. Time to bring out the metal. And the leather.

Judas Priest has both.



I know, it’s a bit obvious, and I know that strictly speaking the song doesn’t deal directly with LGBT issues. But one good reason to include Judas Priest is Rob Halford’s assertion at the time he officially came out that his homosexuality was heavy metal’s worst-kept secret anyway.

“What, you didn’t know?”

PRODUCTION NOTE: This video is also recommended for the fact that the song’s big ending takes longer than the actual song. And Halford literally whips a motorcycle into submission. That’s so metal.

Hear the roar as they sense the fear,

This is dF

When it first came out about Rob, my ex poked fun at me for not knowing. When I protested (as I'm sure millions of other metalheads), she made a list. A pretty obvious list of the signs. Of course, this song was the closer.
