Kele Okereke of Bloc Party breaks the mold by being a gay, black indie music star. He has inspired many up-and-coming gay artists. Yet, Okereke still feels gay singers have a long way to go and still need to do more to push the gay community forward.

He explained in an interview with Attitude, “I don’t see many gay artists in the mainstream being that real, to be honest. There’s still a long way for gay artists to go in terms of being fully realised and being able to express themselves in the way that heterosexual artists do.”
