Z IS FOR ZIGGY STARDUST

the David Bowie alter-ego that outright erupted with flamboyance at the turn of the ‘70s. Bowie himself has never shied away from his androgynous caprice or sexual ambiguity, but it’s old mate Ziggy who really embraced the glitz, glam and unforgivingly undisguised queerness. At the time, he was quite a controversial fellow, inflaming the souls of conservatives everywhere with his sharp high-heels and searing diva-esque attitude. But did that stop him from leading a full-on assault on the mainstream? Hell no. A truly timeless icon of queer liberation.
