But, as we said, it’s not surprising, it is yet another example of powerful men looking first-most out for themselves, cherry-picking when to ‘make a stand’ on issues when it’s convenient for them. To hear Spacey and Singer use their sexuality as a defence is insulting to both victims and the wider queer community who have tirelessly fought the conflation of the two. Kelly, Chance examines his ability to disregard allegations, saying “maybe I didn’t care because I didn’t value the accusers’ stories because they were black women.” Despite all our progress, it’s easy to see that the public rarely take the pain of a minority voice as seriously as a person of privilege, even when a chorus is speaking. In an interview in six-part documentary Surviving R. Kelly, where artists like Chance The Rapper and Phoenix continued to collaborate with him as recently as 2015-6. You can compare it to the music industry’s inertia to acknowledge the many child-and sexual abuse allegations around R. There’s a belief that this is ‘simply how it works’, as evident in the complicity of the entertainment industry to ignore whispers, to not interrogate them. It’s also likely that the allegations and rumours surrounding Spacey and Singer were able to remain an ‘open secret’ without reaching the wider public due to a strong-held stereotype that younger gay men are sexually promiscuous and ‘willing’, even when they’re 13-years-old. Same-sex pedophilia thrives off the ensured self-censorship of its victims - in The Atlantic piece, one accuser alleges that Singer gleefully told him, at 14, that ‘no one would ever believe him’.

The difference, of course, is that pedophilia is a pathological sexuality, always immoral, as acting on it can never be consensual. At the time, the queer community rejected the pivot as opportunistic, a way to divert attention by ‘throwing the gay community under the bus’. Allegations around Spacey were considered an open secret in the entertainment industry, as were rumours about his sexuality.īy conflating the two as one in his response, Spacey shielded himself by using a harmful stereotype about the queer community, the logic which views same-sex attraction as a stepping stone away from pedophilia - something we saw resurface in Australia during the postal survey. In 2017, Spacey responded to pedophilia allegations by actor Anthony Rapp by spinning it as an opportunity to “address other things about his life”, coming out as a gay man. ‘Throwing The Gay Community Under The Bus’

It is, however, deeply harmful, as using his sexuality as a shield is not only a weapon against allegations, but the queer community - a page directly ripped from Kevin Spacey’s book. Unfortunately, the way he’s chosen to deflect them as homophobic isn’t surprising either. The denial isn’t surprising, echoing what he’s said for the past two decades. And it is no surprise that, with Bohemian Rhapsody being an award-winning hit, this homophobic smear piece has been conveniently timed to take advantage of its success.” “Again, I am forced to reiterate that this story rehashes claims from bogus lawsuits filed by a disreputable cast of individuals willing to lie for money or attention. “It’s sad that The Atlantic would stoop to this low standard of journalistic integrity,” says Singer. He then alleged that the piece was opportunistically timed to line up with attention around Bohemian Rhapsody‘s several Oscar nominations, and that the meticulously researched article, which corroborated stories with more than 50 sources, was a “low standard of journalistic integrity”.
