I saw KD Lang on Leno last night and was struck once again by how cool she is. I’ve always loved her music. She has such a powerful, incredible voice. Gives me goosebumps. Plus, she has wonderful taste in music, always delivering something unexpected, intelligent, beautiful and memorable. As far as I’m concerned, she is one of North America’s finest vocal talents and has been for a long time. She deserves greater fame than she gets.
I was impressed anew last night by KD’s appearance and fashion sense as I watched her perform (in bare feet, the same way I dance!). As any fan probably knows, KD came out of the closet as lesbian years ago and has made no effort to conceal her sexual orientation in ensuing years. To the contrary, I’d say KD is unabashedly butch, at least in appearance, and she pulls it off with a lot of style and class. I suspect that her outing may have limited her career somewhat — how else to explain why she doesn’t get more airplay? — but I applaud her honesty and courage. And I can’t help observing, if KD isn’t a crossdresser, who is? *
If you’re not familiar with KD and her music, I’ll do you a favor. Here’s an old video to give you a taste of just how wonderful she is –
* If I haven’t been accurate in characterizing KD’s orientation or used the right terminology, hopefully one of you F2M boys will help me out.
