At each point along this continuum, the listener is asked to explore within their experiences and beliefs around the topic.

Why has music so often served as an accomplice to transcendent expressions of gender? Why did the query "is he musical?" become code, in the 20th century, for "is he gay?"

Glitter Up the Dark traces the history of this gender fluidity in pop music from the early 20th century to the present day.

It’s time to "man up" to face the real issues.
