Statements like his raised our consciousness, albeit tardily, and led almost immediately to the establishment in medical research institutions of the human studies committees that now regulate ethical aspects of human experimentation...
Joakim Berg, Kent's singer and songwriter, strutted around the stage doing a Swedish version of the funky chicken, which involved puffing out his chest, slapping it with one palm and draping the microphone cord around his neck. Berg clearly enjoyed playing to a receptive, albeit unknown, crowd. Not one to miss a chance to connect with the audience, he dedicated the song "Elvis" to an enthusiastic fan who was wearing an enormous pair of ski goggles.

In this happy world, of course, King eventually learns to love beyond the boundaries of gender (albeit not before many gratuitous 'queen' plays on his name) and to surmount his underworld associates' objections. And all this while so many people come out of the closet you'd think it had fleas...
