Everyone is now posting videos of gay/lesbian musicians and the underlying, if not intentional, sentiment is: they're not so bad. Even though they're gay they can make decent music?

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...

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.
