        This article does a disservice to KD Lang by wanting to define, label and put her into a little box. It’s poorly written because instead of focusing on the artist, the singer, the phenomenal vocalist, this article is obsessed with her sexuality. KD Lang is much more than that.

        I couldn't care less if k.d. lang is gay - the woman can sing. Her song "Barefoot" is one of my all time favorites - particularly the live version.

        she was not a "pop idol" nor was a gay musician being accepted even remotely unusual. Is this article the work of a "news" organization that stands behind it?

        As a Canadian now living in Calgary, I remember when Constsnt Cravings was released, k.d. being gay being news, thinking, “Huh! Great song.” And moving on with my life. Her sexuality is only a tiny part of what makes her awesome.

        One must appreciate that this is an opinion from the country who in the early 80s thought Annie Lennox was a man because she had short hair.

        K.D. Land for a steady part of her singing ‘miss Chatelaine ‘ stared in my direction while she sang it. I was at a Queer event. I felt undressed by her presence and lyrics.
