LGBTQ plus Björk

There’s this quote from Björk that has become sort of a meme among her fans. She says that her average listener is a gay man from Mexico. And whether or not that’s accurate, it definitely captures a larger truth: For many, Björk is a queer icon. But why? Björk fan Ahmed Abuzaid (who suggested this topic) and I will discover the answer. I interviewed about a dozen Björk Unravelled listeners. You’ll hear, in their own words, why they identify with her music. And by the end of it, you’ll understand how Björk's music helps them, and other LGBTQ+ fans, feel safe… and feel seen. Enjoying Björk Unravelled?
