Trailblazing Queer Artist, Ari Gold, Dies at Age 47

Aw, that’s a shame.

I think he wrote the Golden Girls theme song.

While that cretin Rush Limbaugh still lives with cancer. Fuck this world.

RuPaul is a monster.

He was kind of a jerk on "Entourage", but otherwise I approved of his Jewy goodness

Really horrible news. It's sad that he never got his due as a songwriter and performer. The dude had actual talent.

Oh, no! I loved some of his gay pop music years ago. RIP.

Fuck off, vile troll.

Aw, thats sad. He was so cute to me when I was a gayling. Eyeroll at 'queer', but its OUT mag so what do you expect......

That was Andrew Gold.

Bless your heart, r9.

Good lord, just bless it.

RIP

At least it wasn't to COVID, but damn.

Sad. He was my contemporary in NYC and was always trying to make it big. Seemed like a really decent person. Didn’t know he had cancer. I’ve known way too many guys under 50 getting cancer. Too young. The good die young - and Trump lives to 75. There is no logic or fairness in this world.

I always had such a crush on him. He seemed kind, and I was glad to have seen him perform live before he got sick. RIP sweet prince.

Met him quite a few times over the years and always sweet and easy to talk with and yes, incredibly sexy and magnetic. I also find his brother Elon hot, too.

He went to Yale, NYU and (while a child) sang for Jem and the Holograms. That alone is pretty fucking awesome.

Loved his cover of "Human" with Mr. Man.

What a shock! He always seemed to be Living the Life: performing at circuit parties and fucking everyone hot at them.

You just figured that out now?? And you say you're in your late 40s too. How could you not have figured this out at ahe twelve?

Ari Gold was one hot Jew. I saw him perform live in small clubs over the years, he always put on a great show and was so effortlessly sexy and cool. This is so sad.

First Dustin Diamond, now Ari Gold.

Normally I convince myself I’m going to die young of cancer after I read these stories, but this time I’m thinking my last name isn’t nearly “moneyed” enough for it.

I don'tknow who this is, but despite what eighteen year-old twinks may think, forty-seven is young.

Never heard of him.

I was with a reporter covering the OutMusic Awards a decade or so ago, and got to chat briefly with Ari. Talented guy. Hot guy. Nice guy. RIP.

"Queer"? So, he was a straight guy? Why do we care that a straight guy died?
