Homosexual Bands/Muscians

I'm not taking a righteous stand or anything but I don't understand the relevance of this topic. Music was never for the straight people in the first place and gay musicians don't necessarily make music so you can understand their gayness.

I just think segregating people into these sort of groups is intrinsically bad. Why not just ignore a person's sexual orientation/preference and concentrate on the music they make? Who cares if musician X is gay, lesbian, trans or alien, as long as they make decent music?

Is what I think...

I think you're wrong. I read the whole thing and didn't notice one instance of what you mentioned in the part I bolded. Pretty much the only poster who made fun of/belittled homosexuality is Vanilla

Does it really matter? Gay, straight, Bi, yellow or whatever. It's all about the spirit of soulful music of many great musicians, artist, bands, singers, etc. The art of talented individuals. Not based on their sexuality, race, religion, etc.

Of course those things don't effect the quality of music.

HOWEVER, this thread is a discussion of homosexual musicians. What's wrong with that? It's a relatively interesting topic.

Please: If you actually hold the Self Evident Truth that all people are Created Equal, then you are as blind and twisted as America's founders. This thread isn't about that. It's about homosexual bands/musicians, like the title says.
