Carol Pope and Rough Trade were making in-your-face LGBTQ+ music very, very early in acceptance.
I think of them of local but it is quite possible I learned of them through the college radio network (or a cassette tape copy) which was only way 'subversive' music spread then. I know the traditional means was unavailable to them.
Very big part of my current You Do You first. Just don't be annoying about it view on all communities.
Likely why Mastodon fits me so well.
