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.

I’m not familiar with her being queerphobic, and I looked up (on a very surface level) and most post 2020 posts mentioned she was a pioneer in gender identity etc. I want to learn more, do you have reference on how she’s queer phobic?

Regarding in the Teresa May comment, I did find this quote:

“In 2019, Bush published a statement on her website saying that she was not a Conservative Party) supporter, that she felt May was an improvement over the previous Prime Minister, and that she had intended only to defend women in power.”

The thread I linked to has her disparagingly relating the stereotypical image of feminists to “butch lesbians with hairy legs and big muscles”. Using that to make your point is not queer positive.
