Because identity politics is a cancer and it’s spread throughout the media.
Before she came on for somewhere over the rainbow. There was a pre recorded interview with her and literally the first sentence out of her mouth contained “... I’m queer ...”.
Is this the new veganism where the old joke “how do you know someone’s a vegan? They’ll tell you, again and again and again”.
Will be replaced with “how do you know someone’s not straight?”
She’s a good singer, didn’t particularly like her somewhere over the rainbow. Her rule Britannia was very good though.

The headline is Bartons description of herself I believe. For for reason we all need to know her sexual preferences and she weirdly feels her singing is connected.
Quoted from linked article:
"It's not just queer pride, it's a connective celebration of people being exactly who they are and loving who they are. And I'm honoured to get to lead that."
It's nothing to do with queer pride, or who people are, it's everything to do with her voice and performance.

It'd be rather difficult to just ignore it, especially considering it was only in 1967 that it was decriminalised (technically women were never criminalised in the first place), it is it's on culture and to ignore that, especially when the singer feel's it necessary to talk about it, would appear to me to be aggravated.
The headline was pointless though, it should really be about her performance and not her cultural identity.

Tbf this seems like BBC steered thing more than a her thing.
They really are going turbo on this at the moment.
Oh actually, maybe not. Waving the pride flag, I see. I mean... all the diversity stuff is good but it’s really quite heavily promoted now. Maybe I just have no idea how these people must feel on a day to day basis.

On a faintly related front, I believe that there was a "Trans Pride" march the other day - on the basis that some trans people feel they are sidelined in the LGBT community. 
Ah yeah, HERE it is.
Whatever became of the late lamented "People's Front of Judea"

Interesting. I thought that trans were at odds with feminists more than any other group. According to Mumsnet AIBU anyway!

Its the fact that they have to shout it from the rooftops!
Literally no one cares. I'm sure there are loads of LGBT performers.
What irritates is that now everything is an opportunity to advertise your sexuality.
"Before I begin my performance, I just want everybody to know my sexual preference."
I couldn't get away with that, so why should she?
Soldato
Agreed
Soldato
Never heard of her.
If she announces her sexuality as LBGT it doesn't really matter how she performs as she'll get huge acclaim regardless. Politics pervades everything nowadays as long as you conform to the collectivist Borg-like groupthink and politically correct ideology you'll be treated well by the corporate media who push it.

Imagine believing that your sexual preference is the most important aspect of your identity.
Utterly bizarre.

Exactly, this bores me more than vegans now.

I can relate to lesbians
I look forward to the reviews.
"I enjoyed her performance, but I don't think she was quite lesbian enough to really hit the low notes."
