I don't know who Adruan street is but all i can say is good for him

Picture the wrestler Goldust, mixed with Ziggy Stardust. Adrian Street was flamboyant, glittery and androgynous. He was also tough as nails and came from a mining town, so despite his flamboyant character, nobody ever made fun of him, called him gay or crossed him, since he could wreck anyone who tried.

I looked him up and i can't say i like his fashion as in nothing i'd ever wear but i get the message and appreciate his boldness to do so in those times.
