Kylie Minogue has reflected on her LGBTQ allyship, admitting she’s had an inclusive mindset when it comes to her queer fans “from the beginning.”
In a recent interview with Years & Years star Olly Alexander, the 53-year-old said of her inclusive attitude: “I didn’t set out to do that, it is just naturally how I feel. There is so much talk about inclusivity, and I felt I always had that from the beginning.”
The former Attitude cover star furthermore added: “I used to say, I loved to be able to look out at my shows, and there are just all walks of life – there has never been any judgement.”
“You didn’t have stylists, you went and did everything yourself”
On moving to London at 21, the ‘Say Something’ singer said: “That is when I got into club culture, and meeting designers – I’d be up and down Kings Road, because you didn’t have stylists, you went and did everything yourself!”
When asked about his own experiences in London, Olly replied: “I moved when I was 18, from my mum’s in the Forest of Dean. I started going out in my early 20s in East London to all the gay clubs that are now closed, but that was my real coming of age.”
