Is prog only for heterosexuals?

Who said the forum is dead...we just need to talk about homosexuals more. 'Prog' was always about the music first and not about an image or lifestyle; anyone could be a progger but not everyone could be a punk or a metalhead. I'm not homophobic but I will say one thing; I hate being hit on by gay guys. The way they go about it makes me feel like a teenage girl being bothered by some old creep.

Well, a good friend of mine at Uni was homosexual and he loved prog rock, Rush and Dream Theater being his two favorites and were major influences on his music, so I don't think so?

We need to know their arguments. Apparently, I'am a person that was abused in my childhood, consume large amount of drugs and are depressive.

Little did they know that I'am only addicted to Prog Music.

I hope this Malafaia person doesn't get too much wind in his sails. He seems dangerous and wholly unsympathetic I don't think you were too lighthearted. Fun and seriousness go together in this thread. I agree with you and feel the same way.

I apologise if I was a tad too light-hearted regarding this subject.

Pfooh, that's a relief. For a moment I thought...

It's just the zeitgeist of back then.  a Good argument; don't put todays standards on the 1970's. I tend to agree with you. But on another level ... I recently saw a documentary about the 1970's  were a well known Dutch socialist politician was doing a plea on national TV for accepting the practice of pedophelia. Just as long as the child is consenting. Zeitgeist too. To be perfectly clear: I do realize that's a whole different thing. The BF cover: yeah, it was probably innocent.

To add something different, here goes:

^ That's cool - NOT the cover - the fact you disagree with that whole idea. I got rid of the album, that cover was sooooo bad taste, appalling to say the least - and what's with that 'mercurial' looking aeroplane thingy she's holding ??? All kinds of wrong. The guy who came up with the idea needs to be castrated.
I do believe there's an alternate cover showing the band, like what picture was inside the gatefold. It is a very good album, with Do What You Like being one of the coolest songs from '69.
