Talk:Chris Lowe

Sexual orientation

I've removed the link "Gay Musicians" as Chris Lowe has not officially spoken out about his sexuality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.241.80.172 (talk)

I've been thinking about that too. It is public knowledge that Neil Tennant is homosexual, but I don't remember ever reading anything about Chris Lowe's sexuality, one way or another. — JIP |Talk 11:03, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

It can be inferred that Chris is gay. In their authorized book, "The Pet Shop Boys vs. America," Chris joked, "I never go STRAIGHT anywhere." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.231.249.141 (talk)

This is very funny. From a group that had a song called 'It Must Be Obvious' with the lyric:

Oh, when they look at us

It must be obvious

new information about sexuality

I copied this from Pet Shop Boys article, I wrote it sorry for my bad English.this is more like copy+paste the interview to prove the imformation

there was an interview in German Language on http://www.tagesspiegel.de/zeitung/die-bomben-da-lagen-wir-im-bett/627346.html

that said more about Chris Lowe's Sexuality on this paragraph

"LOWE: Als wir aufwuchsen, hatten andere in den frühen 70er Jahren schon den Boden bereitet, damit wir ein normales schwules Leben führen konnten. Es gab und gibt natürlich hin und wieder gewalttätige Übergriffe auf Schwule, auch habe ich in meiner Jugend einige willkürliche Polizeirazzien in Schwulen-Clubs erlebt, bei denen wir belästigt wurden, auch wenn Homosexualität schon legal war. Aber revolutionäre Energie brauchten wir nicht mehr aufzuwenden, um offen schwul zu sein." I don't understand German so I can't do the actual translation,but if I use google translator

"LOWE: When we were growing up, had another in the early 70s, already prepared the ground so we could live a normal gay life. There was and is, of course, occasionally violent attacks on gays, as I have experienced in my youth some arbitrary police raids on gay clubs, where we were harassed, even if homosexuality is already legal. But revolutionary energy we needed to spend no more to be openly gay. "

there were the other interviews but I can't find the actual source

-a more recent radio interview in which a call or email from a female fan expressing shall we say the desire to have Chris's children prompted the response from Chris - - You're barking up the wrong tree there, love."

-The Boston Herald Interviewe http://petshopboys-online.com/interviews/read/language/en/id/348/Pet-Shop-Boys-dazzle-with-electro-pop-extravaganza

HERALD: You were one of the first bands to address gay life in song CHRIS LOWE: Well, we’ve never hidden anything. There was never any pretense in what we do. We covered “Go West” by the Village People. We’ve never actually thought there was the need to be explicit about anything. We don’t like to be political and we don’t make political statements. Everything is in the music and you can get it if you want it. We’re just awkward bastards, really.

Removing the maintenance tag on citations

I'm removing the maintenance tag from 2008 calling for additional citations on this article. I've gone through and added or replaced a number of citations. If anything needs further sourcing at this point, a "citation needed" tag can be added. Lizzie Nonesuch (talk) 21:03, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Mid-importance for Electronic Music

It makes no sense for Chris to be considered Mid-importance for the Electronic Music project while Neil is ranked High-importance. Likewise with the Pop Music project, where Tennant is ranked High and Lowe is Low (!). Lizzie Nonesuch (talk) 12:06, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
