Robbie Williams, the song “Your Disco Needs You” is an ode to that most holy of realms, the discotheque. 'Part of it is the music, part of it may have been a theory I explored, that I wasn't wasn't always given the easiest of times back then,' she told the paper
The pop star added: 'And I wonder if part of that coming together was an understanding of not being accepted for who you are'.
Whether she’s battling breast cancer as she did in 2005 or cruel paparazzi headlines ready to count her out, Kylie continues to wow-wow-wow us with her fighting spirit regardless. Surprise collaborations also popped up with Welsh rockers the Manic Street Preachers and the musician Nick Cave who Kylie worked with on a haunting ballad called “Where The Wild Roses Grow.”
Before Kylie had us spinning around with all the lovers, she sang about having her head bashed in with a rock by a guy who had been quietly obsessed with her for about six years.
Now there’s tons of them – choose a look.”
She continued, “I’m the least Kylie person when I’m at any of those nights. It’s an unexpected twist in an already incredible, decades-long career. And it’s impossible not to notice that queer people, particularly gay men, have been driving its meteoric rise. There is a long-held pattern in queer culture, and among gay men in particular, in which we cast ourselves as early adopters of cultural trends, from fashion to music.
Speaking to The Australian this week, the 52-year-old, who has performed at the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras multiple times, said she felt that perhaps she was viewed as an outsider.
Kylie Minogue had said she first realised she was a gay icon when she ended up at a Kylie-themed night at a Sydney gay bar.
The singer told Billboard she became aware of the love the LGBT community has for her in the late 80’s, after the release of her debut album, but it happened “without me knowing it.”
Kylie went on to recall the night where she ended up at high-profile 1980s gay venue The Albury, after a friend said they were hosting a night themed after her that evening.
“I was in the car, my manager was in the car with me along with a couple other people, and someone said, ‘There’s Kylie Night at the Albury tonight,'” she said.
“And I was like ‘What?!’ I’d never heard of a Kylie Night, but I said ‘We should go!
Because Kylie is the most unproblematic of queens. Whether we’re listening to Pop Kylie, Indie Kylie, Disco Kylie or even Country Kylie, the most famous Minogue is a constant professional who moves with the times without losing her signature charm or purred-up sex appeal. Gays love a survivor, and it’s safe to say that Kylie loves the gays in return.
This is the track where subtlety went to die, a song so unabashedly gay and camp that hearing it just once is enough to end your bloodline there and then. On top of that, Minogue is also a survivor to boot. Oh, and it’s not a competition. And despite never having sustainably broken through in the U.S. mainstream (“Can’t Get You Out of My Head” was ubiquitous for a time, but that was over 20 years ago, and her previous hit here was 13 years before that), she maintains an active cult following among American gays.
“Can’t Get You Out of My Head”
No queen’s discography is complete without her crowning jewels. For example, remember that very weird Pride Month in 2017 when the Babadook became a queer icon? Or more recently, after this February’s BAFTA Awards, I was physically unable to tweet about anything other than the infamous “Angela Bassett did the thing” for several days, thanks to Ariana DeBose’s unintentionally iconic performance.

'And I wonder if part of that coming together was an understanding of not being accepted for who you are'. I’m in Italy, where the gay choir I’m part of (strike one) is attending a huge festival of LGBTQ+ choirs (strike two). She can also be seen playing herself in Netflix’s whodunit The Residence streaming March 20.
