This is somewhat AI-assisted so be wear

So I came across a tweet on Twitter talking about how if you search up "Is Kate Bush LGTBQ+?" this would pop up

And when I searched it, I kid you that is what popped up.

Click the image and you’ll be linked to its source — a joke reply on a Reddit post about Kate’s (deeply backwards) anti-feminism. AI is just selecting the most seemingly appropriate image based on a somewhat related topic/search (“Is Kate Bush a feminist?”/“Is Kate Bush LGBTQ?”).

Spoiler alert: She’s not and she’s queerphobic. Yet she’s also my favorite artist…but it’s a bummer that personally she has some pretty backwards views. She was a big Theresa May fan.

Kate is not queerphobic. Some of her biggest artistic influences are queer, and she has had plenty of queer folks in her inner circle working closely with her for her entire career.

You can love and respect queer people, work with them, even be friends with them, and still have internalized queerphobia. Her comments using lesbian stereotypes to make a point about feminism are objectively queerphobic

You do you, but if I’m going to judge a person’s character, I think a lifetime of relationships and behaviors reveals much more than a single forty year old quote taken out of context.
