Yeah. Quite sure. I won’t bore you with a lame “some of my best friends are gay musicians” laundry list, but suffice it to say that my ipod’s contents would look substantially different if I had a problem with gay artists. But that doesn’t mean that I have to appreciate the subtle “breeder=lame” disdain that can lead to straight love songs getting dismissed more quickly than queer ones for no good reason.

I agree maybe 85%, and I don’t really mind “beautiful, cold constructions” sometimes â but come on, “Papa Was a Rodeo”? That song’s lovely.
