Judas Priest singer Rob Halford is once again putting his weight into the fight for equality. Halford was one of the first big names in the metal genre to come out when he did so in the 1990s and says that it’s a continued fight to bring greater equality to the world through his work. “I never really thought of the consequences,” he revealed to Noisey. “Of course, the proverbial happened, it hits the newswires and it’s this big, big thing. As a result of that, you then get these beautiful messages back from your fans around the world saying that because you’re able to step forward and proclaim your sexuality in a strong way, in a proud way, that that’s helped them in life, and you go, ‘Wow.’ So as a gay guy in metal, I welcome this opportunity to reinforce that statement.” He adds: “A lot of my followers are younger metalheads,” said Halford. “It’s so refreshing to be in the company of people that are more loving, more caring, and more open, and have a much better worldview and have a much better capacity for acceptance than a lot of people in the world do.” Copyright(c) 2018 RTTNews.com.
