Music has what one personally attributes to it.
Right or wrong, differing perspectives, music is as subjective as anything else.

Some other gay favourites.
Frankie goes to hollywood -the power of love , soft cell - tainted love, that are you going to San Francisco song, pet shop boys- opportunities and it's a sin. Eurithmics - sweet dreams.
Heh. Paul's a secret juggalo, folks!
haha no I just like that one tune "We don't die" by twistid, that's got testosterone. The rest is just getting stoned with clowns music.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

Lived in Pa. from 2000-09 and followed Pitt women's gymnastics during that time. They always played peppy music like that at their meets, but I never figured out who played any of the songs.

I do like all the typical divas. Beyonce, Rihanna, Britney and JLo top 4
I don't feature Gaga. I don't hate her, in fact I actually enjoyed her first and a half album The Fame/Monster. I'm not going to love her just because she (metaphorically speaking) rides gay men's dicks for charitable publicity.

Seriously?
Did you even see the show?
After all, a gay man was plunging into her for publicity. Where is your hatred for him?

Certain sub-cultural groups are drawn to certain musical styles, but the music itself has no sexuality other than what is assigned to it by said subculture.
If gays want to be treated as equals (which they are) then they'd do well to cease the separation of themselves from the culture which they wish to be considered equal too. That includes musical tastes and preferences in general. We are all human with different likes and dislikes. There is no "straight" music because that would be discriminatory. So why is there "gay" music?

I've agreed with both of your points (above). The only element I added was that the music itself has no sexuality other than that assigned by the subjective listener.
I know gays that listen to AC/DC, does that make AC/DC's music "gay"?
I know straights that listen to Streisand, does that make Streisand's music straight?
The answer to both questions is "no".
That's my entire point. The music takes on the persona of the subjective listener, but the music itself, has no sexuality.

What about Sia? Heck, this is probably a different thread, with that child dancer she had, but does Sia trip anybody's musical gaydar?
