A song about a young gay man leaving home, accompanied by a video which shows desire, persecution, rejection and ultimate freedom, Jimmy Somerville’s anthem epitomised the experience of generations of gay men.Singer Dana International provided another big moment of visibility for transgender people when she won the competition for Israel with her song “Diva”.Tony Kushner’s epic two-part play tackled the Aids crisis in the context of contemporary America and its many ghosts.
Only read the headline this am and didn’t have time to read or watch the clip but considering the essence is about mid gender & vocab confusion it doesn’t help when the Independent changes the quotationfrom ‘I’ to ‘they’ in the same headline
Wait what? Who will? I expect better grammar from The Independent than that! Why don’t you include who he says will be mid-gendered in your title?
Taxi for Smith!
Good for him
It’s the fact that there’s only one of ‘it’ ‘they’ is plural just because it identifies as both or neither doesn’t change language and journalists should know better and not pander!
Maybe that cause you're a guy in makeup? And the world doesn't pander to your whims?
Don’t you mean ‘to the day they die’ 🥴
We say they there's say I ... My brain just made a poping sound
Not enough jingle bell balls there still.
I wonder if his marketing stunt is translating into extra sales for him?
It’s the Beard that’s confusing
Sounds like he's got a multiple personality disorder to be honest.
'Misgendered to the Day I Die.' Theme to new woke Bond movie?
I'm sure HE will be correctly be identified as a man.
Who is he saying is going to be misgendered?
😳
Whatever anyone does, do NOT interfere with the innocence of children. Do not bring any sexuality confusion into their lives. Please leave them kids alone.
What? Who? What?
How many more times are you'll going to post this?
who/who/who?
What people wouldn't do/say to make believe they're special... 🙄🙄
He is a barmy as a box of frogs.
🤡🤡
He's seems confused still. Lots of I's in 'their' statement.....
I'm gay,but u Son,pull your socks up and grow up.
Come to Holland
Maybe - But that's because you are WOKE & placing too much emphasis on your own personal opinions, and not being considerate of others. - You are placing unrealistic expectations on others, that is your entitlement showing!
Who will be misgendered?
Bless them I hope they find happiness xx
I doubt I will be speaking to Sam anytime soon so I won’t need to re wire my brain!
Gammon’s can’t handle this headline Triggered
I am so sick and tired of the notion surround sexuality... Everyone is claiming to be so progressive and individualistic but all they are doing is reinventing the wheel in the hopes to stay relevant especially when in the public eye. You like boys, accept it and move on.
Same smith the Nonce
Mentally ill
Another attention seeking celebrity.
He a gay man end of
dont give a shit about him tbh
Let's all cry now. This is the biggest problem the world is facing right now. Fuck the children getting bombed in the Middle East and people dying of illness cause they can't afford healthcare in the US.
FFS.
No he won’t!
1st world problems and all that!
HE needs mental help
Boy George look alike?
Who’ll be misgendered?
Nobody really cares samsmith
Wuss
So He uses the personal pronoun of several....'they'. How stupid is that?
Pathetic
Who?
Nobody cares about your gender, as long as you are a honest and a talented people your gender doesn’t realy matters at all
The struggle is real. 🙄
Is there two of him?
Don't they'll mean 'to the day they'll die'?
Does he?
Ok
zzzzzz
I'm gay and I am like,......🤦. Sort your life out mate,sort it out. Back to Chris Rea 😎🤠.
New album coming out? Stirring up some publicity?
“I’ve decided to embrace myself for who I am, inside and out,” Smith wrote at the time. Surely this is the opposite of embracing yourself?
To the day they die surely?
Who was he referring to?
😂😂
Poor and Extra attention seeking and has got some mental issues..
It has a point.
He will indeed
Ratio 👀
The last I heard he was claiming to be an alien, was it lonely out in space?
Stoping wearing the lipstick and eyeliner might help with that.
*nurse*
Well said that Man
Listen and the word he used most was ‘me’ in other words it’s All About him, all the attention and ‘you must listen to me!’
A bit of eyeliner and its women’s rights for everyone lol
SMH
This is getting ridiculous!! You can’t struggle with somethin you can’t change! Ppl need to realise that sometimes in life we can’t have everything we want. The correct pronoun for a male (xy) chromosome is HIM. It’s irrefutable!! The worlds gone mad 😡
He will, 'they'll' is plural, he is a singular prat!
An appalling tragedy for them, perhaps we can get a crowdfunding appeal going to better educate us. Me. Our. Your. Its.
They are mad as March hares
More like mis-diagnosed!🤣🤣🤣
Yep. Because he’s an attention seekinhg tit who has fallen foul of the woke left!

What, who will be misgendered? Who is he talking about?
They? How many are there or him?
What?
Gender is the same as sex but ok.
Ironic that all the comments are just proving Sam's point. And no, I have issue call them 'they'
It's really disgusting how there's so much casual bigotry towards none binary and transgender people.
Surely it's 'I'll be mis-gendered' Who talks about themselves in the 3rd person?
YEs tHEy wilL
Not being dismissive of him, but I thought you were writing about a group of people. As a term written down in text 'they' is very misleading for a singular person
You're either a he (a man) or a she (a woman)
Who will?
Who will be mis-gendered?
Saying 'they' isn't the way I would ever speak normally to refer to a specific person. I'd have to rewire my brain and frankly, anyone who expects someone to do that, doesn't deserve it to be done because 'they' (referring to people generally) are extra and attention-seeking.
You mean 'he' as he clearly well is.
CORRECTION: ‘It’ will be mis-gendered til the day ‘it’ dies
🥱🥱🥱
So others have to use 'they', but Sam can use 'I'?
Someone get this guy some mental health help
At your age and you cant tell if you are a man or woman so you prefer to be both. It's not your fault
I’m confused 💁🏻
Sam mental illness Smith
Is that really him?
I think he sorry, they should change his sorry their name to Sam and Smooth.
You mean he said that?
Who's they?
Look for flyer design ?Please contact
You Go Girl !
How about IT?
Who's they?
He's looking like a reincarnation of the 1980s Boy George!
