* Music/KateBush has had a very large queer following from the outset, generally attributed to a mix of her campy theatrics, her unrepentant eccentricity, her exploration of atypical and even taboo subjects, and especially her ability to build a successful career on her own terms, all which resonated well with the LGBT community and their plights. Bush herself acknowledged this part of her fanbase relatively quickly, including explicitly gay characters in "Wow" and "Kashka from Baghdad" on her second album.
