Or, if you will, raawwwk!Metallers, as a rule, don't care about sexuality as long as you aren't sanctimonious about it and, above all, you rock.

We saw that TV documentary about Judas Priest where he described going to San Francisco and buying up piles of strappy leatherwear, biker caps, studded wristbands etc for that macho metal onstage look and starting the fashion for it among fans.I remember when Rob Halford came out. I was in a mate's house with some fellow metal-enthusiast friends, listening to music and someone said that Halford had come out as gay.
Everyone said pretty much the same thing: that we had all just assumed he was gay all along.
The metal community just collectively said "oh" and moved on. No-one was particularly bothered. Heavy-mettalurgists tended to be much more tolerant of difference than most sub-cultures back then and I'm happy to say it seems to be the same now.
