This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

Gore's is a fairly standard interpretation. Nomi's is unusual. His appearance is so unusual that I sought out other videos of him to see if that picture was for real. Not cis what with a very high voice at times (what range!), heavy makeup, and a song written for a woman, not trans what with a receding hair line, big shoulders, and very German sounding masculine voice at times. Very heavy on the synthesizer music. I would say that the presentation was intended to be surreal and transgressive. The rap-ish delivery of the lyrics was, I think, meant to make people pay attention to what they said, which augmented the surreal feeling.
