dbp:quote
  • "Gregory Gray is of major significance ... because he has attempted to extend the Irish pop lexicon in important directions. Gray is also of interest as his music has articulated the diverse aspects of gay identity/ies as well as addressing gay audiences ... As [Ireland's] first 'out' gay pop performer, his story is of further interest as he has been virtually erased from the dominant discourse of Irish rock." (en)
