She became a household name with “I Kissed a Girl,” which is widely viewed as the first openly gay-themed tune to make it into the Billboard Top 20.

The Kinks' "Lola" made it to #9 in 1971.

"I'm glad I'm a man and so is Lola."

sounds pretty openly queer to me.

My mother made my big brother return the 45 to the record store.

“Girls will be boys and boys will be girls,
It’s a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world
Except for Lola.”

On the British Top 20, in 1968, there was a song about a man who gets arrested and thrown in jail for stealing women’s clothing and fancying himself in the mirror.

In America, they technically were a one-hit wonder (with a different song) until 1980, but I’m being deliberately outrageous calling them that.

Any guesses who I am talking about?
