Brian May Says His Words Were ‘Twisted’ to Make Him Seem ‘Unfriendly to Trans People’
Queen’s Brian May is clarifying his recent remarks on cancel culture.
“Yes – I was ambushed and completely stitched up by a journalist at the recent ITV event,” May explained in an Instagram post. “And it’s led to a whole mess of press stories making it look like I’m unfriendly to trans people.”
“Sincere apologies to anyone who has been hurt by the stories,” May added. “My heart is open as always to humans of all colors, all creeds, all sexes and sexualities, all shapes and sizes – and all creatures.”
The controversy started when May was asked if Queen would be successful in modern times and he responded, “I’m sure… we would be forced to have people of different colors and different sexes and a trans person – but life doesn’t have to be like that,”
Do you think cancel culture has gotten out of hand in rock music? Is some press deliberately trying to write things out of context?
