Bisexual Artist - Blog Posts
Rebel Rebel by David Bowie
Song first appeared in 1974, on the album Diamond Dogs. I already recommended this one but, EVERYTHING about this songs make it a hit choice for Pride Month Recs.
First it was coupled with Queen Bitch (David Bowie - Queen Bitch (Old Grey Whistle Test, 1972) (youtube.com)) on the B face of the Vinyl, a song sung in gay vernacular about being an active participant of "the gay life".
Secondly, the lyrics make a lot of allusion at being Gender Non-Conforming, Transgender and Non-Binary. They make allusion at the Punk subculture and possibly reference the Drag scene (with the famous Drag Queen Divine).
And last but not least, DAVID BOWIE HIMSELF. David Bowie is a bisexual artist (first come out as gay, then later as bisexual), who used to crossdress and defy gender norms. He was a queer icon that inspired generations of LGBTQIA+ people, from the 70's to nowaday.
According by sources given by @loveonfalls , he also used to identify as gay.

Bowie because his music literally saved my life
Love you forever
Annoting that Freddie Mercury never really confirmed being bisexual, but was notoriously dating men and women.
He loved his fiancée Mary Austin and wrote her the song Love of My Life Queen - Love Of My Life (Official Video) (youtube.com) and finished his life romantically involved with his hairdresser Jim Hutton, that he would often call his husband.
