If you found out a musician you liked was gay, would you still listen to them?

I don't care about anything but the music.  The background of the person who wrote it is pretty irrelevant to me.

Would you support a musician that participates in lynchings and rapes children?

As for actors/actress who play hetrosexual players and a really gay, I sometimes question their motives. Are they playing a heterosexual player over the top to bash players as insecure homosexuals in the closet? YES I KNOW it is being bigoted but it is something I wonder.

Could careless about musicians.

They're actors.

It wouldn't surprise me considering how prevalent it appears to be in the artistic community.

Of course, it wouldn't make a difference.

The forgotten inventor of heavy metal music, Pat Hare, murdered his wife... And that's kind of why he's been forgotten.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Hmm...well I really really like Placebo...the bassist is gay....the singer is bi. All that matters is the music....not one's orientation.,FrostyPhantasm

I didn't know John Travolta was gay or at least bisexual until recently.

I have been a Queen fan for years, and I just found out Freddie Mercury was bisexual. I had no idea, I just assumed he was straight. I mean look at the singers of the 70s and 80s, they were straight and they acted gayer than Freddie. I told my friend who also listens to Queen occasionally and now he doesn't listen to them anymore after I told him about Freddie. He is religious and said he won't support a band who lives that lifestyle. I think that is moronic but I'll let him believe what he wants. Would ou stop listening to a musician/band if ou found out one of the members was gay?TidusIsBest

Doesn't matter, Queen is awesome, and so is Freddie Mercury, and I'm definitely straight.

So doesn't bother me one bit.

[spoiler] He was bi though. [/spoiler]

Yes.

I listen to Rob Halford sing almost every day.

As much as I would listen to any other band. What the heck does their sexuality have to do with me?
