One of my favorite musicians, Bob Mould, came out of the closet when I was teenager and hugely into his music. I didn't care one way or the other although suddenly I found myself noticing that all his songs about relationships had been written in gender-neutral language. I had never noticed that before I knew he was gay. Other than that nothing changed. I continued to love his music and still love it to this day, a decade and a half after he came out of the closet.

You mean someone like, say, Rob Halford.
