American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert has toured as the lead singer of Queen for more than a decade. Here, he looks at the history of LGBTQ+ stars in music – from the boldly queer to the more secretive mainstream – and asks: is the progress of pride slowing down? He has a great lineup of interviewees: Brian May and Roger Taylor remember Freddie Mercury, and he speaks candidly with singers such as Skunk Anansie’s Skin and Erasure’s Andy Bell, as well as Pose star Michaela Jaé Rodriguez.
