Music, gay-wise

[Homeless Nutter]

Yet you did not provide an alternative.  To what horrible music do you listen?

An alternative? The alternative is not having music genres aimed specifically at people of certain sexual orientations. There is no "hetero-music", is there? As a heterosexual guy I'm free to listen to anything, from classical and folk, trough contemporary jazz and metal, to techno and J-pop. But apparently if someone is a homosexual man, they're obliged to love kitsch, theatricality and sequins, or at least that's the impression I get from sampling the kinds of music played in gay-clubs, or at gay events, like Pride parade, and listening to gay people talk about music. It seems reductive and rather dumb.

I understand, that sub-cultures usually have certain kinds of music associated with them, but that's because they ARE reductive and dumb, they do mean to alienate people, as well as they're usually aimed at kids, who are stupid and haven't had the time to develop aesthetical taste. Having horrible kinds of music, like house, show-tunes, or whatever Madonna thinks she's doing associated with a particular sexuality can only alienate those homosexuals, who don't happen to have heavily impaired hearing and who consequently can't appreciate art purely on the basis of how glittery the artist's outfits are...
