Dannii Minogue recalls playing at gay clubs in the '90s when "nobody else would do it"

Briefly

Jeremy Joseph [the owner of London's iconic G-A-Y nightclub] asked me would I come and perform because nobody else would do it. I wanna be out playing music, listening to the people, dancing. Every artist knew that record companies and management would tell people who were queer that no one wants to know about it.

'It was a given that if you were [queer] you had to be very quiet about it and only your close friends could know. Performing at a gay club would open floodgates for journalists to speculate on one's sexuality.' - Dannii Minogue
