I wrote up a long answer because, at first, I didnt think I could think of one. most lgbtq artists that I like are people who I knew were queer and got into partly as a way of unlearning my internalized homophobia. but I just remembered a couple

when I was young I was a fairly stereotypically masculine person, to the point of over-compensation, and also someone who like was confused/doubtful about the concept of a broader queer community. basically I was kind of a shit. but I did really like the band Judas Priest, and the band Against Me!, which both fell comfortably within the acceptable limits for """masculine""" musical tastes. since then, rob halford has come out as gay, and laura jane grace as trans.

in my later teen years I started intentionally seeking out queer artists. it went slowly at first, and now it's a big deciding factor into who I'm willing to give a chance, but it used to be that the first whiff of gender non-conformity would repel me (unless it was couched in some real toxic masculinity like Korn or MSI or Brett Easton Ellis or whatever)

Unfortunately, no.

I have spent the better part of the last half hour looking up all the authors and artists whose works had an impact on me as a child or teenager, and I can find not one who isn't heterosexual. The closest I've come is Langston Hughes, who I did not know may have been homosexual until Levi told me -- but he was not necessarily important to me, I learned about his work in public school and loved several of his poems. There is also Truman Capote, whose novel 'In Cold Blood' I had to read in public school and whose main character I "performed" as for a project, but I don't think he was important to me either, I simply loved the book.

This is criminal as far as I'm concerned, and I feel that in 2019 I need to rectify this by reading as many works from gay creators as I can.
