I was an Indigo Girls fan in the 90s. Finding out they were gay didn’t change the music...

Queer and kind of creepy if you care to look closely - it's official
Indigo Girls were kind of classy IMO. Saw them on a late night talk show. They were asked if REM was more famous because of sexism. They gave REM full credit, didn’t whine, said it was because REM were damned good.
Yeah, same. They had a great debut record.
It's kinda funny in retrospect, that there were all these recording artists in the 80s and 90s like Indigo Girls, George Michael, Freddy Mercury, Boy George, Melissa Etheridge, KD Lang, etc. who were so obviously gay and we all just kinda pretended like they weren't.
And when they all later came out publicly, people either feigned shock or were like, "Duh..."
Big Indigo fan here. Love their music, hate the politics. That being said, one of the best birthday presents I ever got was a 20 minute (which turned into 35 minutes) online guitar lesson one-on-one with Emily my hubby got for me. She taught me the lead to Land of Canaan and some other picking things. Very nice and very gracious. Unfortunately, Emily’s voice is not the same anymore and I can’t listen to any of the new stuff.
