According to an "ex-gay" group, these musical bands are some "of the most dangerous ways homosexuality invades family life ".

Yeah, right.....

And Sir Elton John is SO gay he's listed twice on their "Gay Bands" list. On the other hand on their "Safe Bands" list, they seem to feel that Dresden Dolls, Cyndi Lauper, and Evanescence are perfectly okay and straight.

You know, this could be a great start to one of the "bold what you listen to" memes....

Frank Sinatra is gonna rise from his grave to kick somebody's ass over this.

Nahh, he would make a call, and two gentlemen with no necks name "Vinnie" and "Guido" come by and explain the mistake to the minister via a 2-inch piece of drainpipe inserted into his ear......

OH NO not the Scissor Sisters?!?

Maybe someone should tell them that a couple of the members of Kansas were fairly vocally Christian during their heyday. But that would ruin the fun.

Gay bashing has nothing to do with being Christian.

Besides, everyone knows Jesus was gay.

So what's the difference between 'The Indigo Girls' and 'Indigo Girls'?

Heheh - and when I clicked on their 'Safe Bands' list (most I haven't heard or even heard of, btw) - they have a quote from Oscar Wilde, with (reformed homosexual) after it. Since when did he go straight?( I mean - maybe now that he's dead, but I didn't think they 'cured' him while he was in prison for sodomy ... but I could be wrong).

I know - let's all have a Gay Band party, or something - it'd be a lot better music than the Safe Band party, that's for sure.

You know, Evanescence being on the "safe" list is just too funny. They have several songs dedicated to suicide.

"my wounds cry for the grave
my soul cries for deliverance
will i be denied Christ
tourniquet
my suicide"

Yeah. Gonna sign right up for my 7 year old to listen to that...

Don't get me wrong: I love Evanescence, but somehow I don't think *they* would be best pleased to be on a "safe list."

**Looks at music collection**

Damn, looks like I'm gay. Who knew?

[letter-d.livejournal.com]

:: sounds of badly muffled laughter ::

yes, of *course* you are gay -- which, since you keep company with me must mean you are a lesbian ;)

[patgund.livejournal.com]

He's not the only one. Based on my collection, I'm Queery McLavender by these people's standards

[jeriendhal.livejournal.com]

Cole fucking Porter? What's their justification for that? Living in danger of breaking out into spontaneous musical numbers?

And Metallica would just come over and beat the closed-minded bastards silly.

[letter-d.livejournal.com]

Although pure idiocy, I can kinda-sorta-maybe see what they are thinking with these lists, but one thing really stuck in my head --

Morton Subotnick's music making people gay?????? Sinatra and Metallica are close seconds on the "Did you take your meds today?" meter of incredulity, but Subotnick -- huh?????????????

,,, Frank Sinatra?
Not that I agree with their position in the least, but FRANK SINATRA?

[patgund.livejournal.com]

As I told selenesue, Sinatra would make a call, and two gentlemen with no necks name "Vinnie" and "Guido" would come by and explain the mistake to the minister via a 2-inch piece of drainpipe inserted into his ear......

[phinnia.livejournal.com]

And that would be if he was feeling charitable. :-D
