Mainstream's The Indigo Girls talk about changing attitudes to their lesbianism
HITMAKING American duo The Indigo Girls, who had a sizeable Christian
following until the revelation that they were practising lesbians,
spoke recently to Billboard about seeing a greater diversity in their
audiences. Said the group's Amy Ray, "There's young people, and people
who've grown older with us and bring their kids. And I think there was
a time when, if you were a gay performer, it was harder to get a
diverse audience as far as sexual orientation goes, when the gay
movement hadn't progressed at all. And now in some areas, it's really
mixed and really family-oriented."
