I find it odd that people have a need to categorize others by who or what they have sex with. 
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

Human sexuality is odd in and of itself.

I have never liked popcorn. I remember disliking popcorn long before I went to kindergarten. Folks never believe me, they're always trying to offer me some variant. "Ooooohhh, you'll like caramel corn." etc. But no I really don't like it. I don't know if I had a traumatic experience with popcorn, if my amygdala is warped or if I'm the chosen popcorn hater. I realise most folks enjoy popcorn. Fine. Have all you want. I don't want it. I'd rather have something else. I happen to like mussels which many people don't like but quite a few do. 

So you have your popcorn, I'll have my mussels and that's about all I have to say about that.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

I agree, but that's the way it is now and hopefully it will change someday. 

I also see no reason to distinguish between races or genders, but that's a whole different thread.

You want to get a little freaked out.  Get a copy of The Encyclopedia Of Unusual Sexual Practices.
One of the "A"s is Acousticophilia. 
http://www.amazon.com/Encyclopedia-Unusual-Practices-Brenda-Love/dp/1569800111/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1331763681&sr=1-1
It also has entries on the usual suspects.

A couple of songs by Prog bands that deal with being gay

         "Gyrosame" by Headstone off of their 1975 self titled album

         "Be Nice To Joe Soap" (what a title!) from the album 9 Parts To The Wind by Strange Days

          I figure that a person's sexual orientation is their business
            I happen to be straight, and some people are gay.
                      Such is life.

I'll gladly support that too.

That book sounds interesting, I might have to check my local library for a copy.

It is really fascinating and sometimes creepy. 

I'd be surprised if you can get a copy at your local library.

Reminded me of Walter Carlos who became Wendy.  I've got a couple albums by Wendy - The Beauty In The Beast and Digital Moonscapes.  The first one is a masterpiece, the second one I listed is rather dull.
 
I have both of those albums too!  Digital Moonscapes has its moments but it is not a great album, but I agree with you about Beauty in the Beast.  I also have a couple of the Switched-On Bach albums, which are interesting but I prefer both my electronica and classical more pure.
 
Personally, I do not care what a person's sexual orientation is.  As a music fan, my interest is in the music itself.  I have long had friends and colleagues in the LGBT community and think it sad that many feel they have to hide their orientation (often with good reason).  I have even been flattered that some of them thought me attractive, a fact that would cause some to shudder, buy that's their problem.

I've heard but never had the Switched albums.  They were way out shined by Tomita.  But Beauty In The Beast is a real gem.

You are looking for L G B or T prog musicians.  If they are out there they are either out or you likely won't know who they are.

I wasn't referring to you, Slarti :)

It seems like people are more interested on voicing their approval of LGBT folk in general.

ah, I thought this thread was more like LGBT fans of prog.  Those who break the stereotype of just listening to Bjork and electropop and disco and Barbra Streisand... that would be interesting to know....

well, count me in there...

Robert John Godfrey of The Enid is gay and talks about what that means to him personally to a fairly regular extent.
