LGBT in Progressive Rock

You know I've never watched the Ellen show before or after she came out because I could care less.  Always loved her stand up though and I'm pretty sure the show wasn't all about sexuality.  Not having seen the show I'm pretty sure every episode was not about her being gay.  You want prurient interest?  Let's talk Married With Children and The Family Guy.  

What Phideaux's initial comments reminded me of a story I heard Nichelle Nichols tell.  She met Martin Luther King when she was doing the original Star Trek and was told him she was thinking about quitting and he told her she couldn't because it was the first to show a black person in a position of authority.

Why do people always argue about being gay being a choice or natural?

Ha, finally went back and reread this old thread. It was nice of Phideaux to come in and add some perspective. Thanks, man.

PFM and Banco are from England too, right....................^

I have felt the cold shoulder of ostracisation - on this very same site - all I did was mention that I had worn womens clothing for the purposes of raising money for charities noble - and I reckon a few have deemed me too deviant too bother with any more......Even If I spent whole weekends with a red dress, red stilletos & a foxhead on - would that make me a dangerous person to chat on a forum with?

Anyway in terms of this post - Robert John Godfrey & Francis Lickerish were both openly gay and in a relationship for a long period - apparenty the band name "The Enid" was derived from the imaginary girlfriend that RJG had to invent to appease his mum & dad.....

I know Robert John Godfrey is gay, but Francis Lickerish is not. He's married to a woman named Helen, and I think him leaving The Enid had to do with his divorce from his wife back then, who he was married to during most of his time with The Enid.

This is a pretty rough thread though.  One can get attacked from both sides, in a rather nasty fashion.  So don't take it personally...

Geez, it has been. I feel sorry for poor Anal. He had rightwingers attacking him for being pro gay and LGBT crusaders attacking him for not being pro-gay with enough vehemence. One learns in time that you can never reason with a zealot, regardless of creed, orientation, etc. Even if you try to agree wit ha zealot, if you don't do it in the exact same thought process they use your still wrong, and not only that, but a bad person too.
