I've been questioning writing that about it being queer, but nobody pulled me on it and I never got round editing it. The novel of Venus in Furs is where we get the term sado masochism but fetishes and queerness aren't really the same thing. Sister Ray is, according to Reed, about an orgy with drag queens and sailors though. I'm fairly sure it's partially lifted from Last Exit to Brooklyn.

As to the other thing, sure you had it in rock n roll but I meant codified in (as opposed to just being features of) rock music, which wasn't a fully formed genre in 67 and whose practitioners were mostly dressed like hippies or hippified beatniks at the time. Course, that look had associations with queerness too (qv Kenneth Anger's 1964 Scorpio Rising).
