Is prog only for heterosexuals?

Several in fact, it's just that Queen By-Tor is the most active of them.

Well spoken, as usual, Kati

Are the Baldies still around?? They were more surprising than the few gays that are around this site... I mean before they got in here, I was the only lesbian around (albeit a male one << only sleep with the fair sex)

On we go with the big clichés: women are already rather rare in prog circles....  let alone when they pair-up ... and then fondle & diddle each other to prog music. That must be quite a sight!!

AFAIK, we've even got at least one special colab that is gay

Haven't seen the Baldies a long time on the site. Miss them a bit. Very colourful people.

this was exactly my point (what GKR said). I really don't have too much of an opinion of it myself to be honest, I was more wondering what everyones reactions was too this question. Alot of interesting answers and some troll like ones too. Although this question was meant for a discussion, I wasn't favoring any side of the debate...but its still an interesting thought.

You can be sure of that.

I have a lot friends in the LGBT community, but I must admit I've never really found out whether or not they're into prog. I usually meet them at underground electronic gigs and festivals, which often have a very understanding and open relationship to sexuality.
I do know a couple of transgendered folks who are heavily into modern progressive electronic like F*ck Buttons, Flying Lotus, Ochre, Boards of Canada and the likes....maybe I should introduce them to some Klaus Schulze and see if I can make him a sort of gateway into Krautrock for then finally to slap on some KC
Nahh maybe not. Every time we meet we're too involved in the dancing and drinking and beeeep to start a regular convertion into prog.

Oh almost forgot; I got an old friend of mine + a dozen of his, who just so happens to be gay, into Manuel Göttsching's beautiful chessboard album (E2 E4). That was actually during a party, where I snuck it in while the DJ was too busy sniffing a table.

well.. perhaps... Terrence Stamp...


god I loved this movie!!   Amazing movie really...  especially when stoned...

 

In my travels, I have known (and performed in prog bands with) gay people, blacks, Hispanics, women, liberals, conservatives, libertarians, Christians, atheists, Scientologists...
