Sam Smith: “Music Industry Can Be A Bit Homophobic & Sexist At Times”

Singer Sam Smith says the music industry is homophobic and sexist, and they were worried about coming out as non-binary.

Smith, who came out as non-binary in September, told SiriusXM’s Hits 1: “I’m loving it, I mean I’m scared everyday. Being my feminine self in this world that we’re in, I mean the music industry can be a bit homophobic, a bit sexist at times”

“So being feminine like this in the way I move and dance and am, it feels quite scary at times but is worth it.”

He also said their initial fears about releasing a video for ‘How Do You Sleep?’ which features the singer dancing in heels, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
