Choice of music?

Me neither pinkcakes so what exactly is the point of the original post?

I've been puzzling over this and never thought of gay icons either - why are they?
My husband hasn't got musical bone in his body, but I still love him. He used to like Nana Mouscouri at one time because she wears glasses like his.

Illte It is quite well-known that those particular singers are icons of gay people. I couldn't give a toss if someone is gay or if they like Donna Summer and Cher.

No pause for thought. I would start dancing along.

I didn’t get it, but we live and learn. Just brought Dusty Springfield to mind, a fabulous singer.

And what if he is? ?‍♀️

I don't get the point of the OP.

It feels a bit like sniggering at someone behind your hand to me.

I'd instantly assume he was gay

Judy Garland still hols the number 1 slot for 'Gay Icon'

Its not my kind of music, but if he likes those artists he does, it wouldn’t give me pause for thought!

I’d think he had good taste in pop music of a certain time. If some of you grans haven’t heard of those singers you must be very young grans!

I woud have nothing in common with him so would leave .

Grumppa if that’s the case, what does it say about someone with eclectic tastes in music & enjoys anything from Beethoven & Mahler to bluegrass, soul, jazz, Latin, swing and rock’n’roll?

Isn’t the point of the OP to invite speculation on whether a person’s choice of music is an indication of character? Seems harmless to me. If pressed, I’d say OP’s man might not be someone I’d be spending an evening in the pub with.

Do other people’s taste in music matter, unless one is forced to listen to it oneself?
I don’t understand the OP.

It seems a very limited list. I review my Desert Island Discs selection (you never know!) every 10 to 15 years, and my selection of eight is much more varied than just gay icons of a certain generation.

Aaah! I didn’t realise they were gay icons either. I’ve led a sheltered life! Xx

Hmm. Now I have to ask exactly what you meant by "pause for thought"?

Well MerylStreep,you have taught me something today,i didn`t know they were gay icons.

MerylStreep

They are all gay icons if that means anything.

Oh of course! Maybe it does mean something.

That didn't enter my head

I'd perhaps think that his musical taste wasn't very deep or varied. No Pink Floyd, Ella Fitzgerald, Eagles, Beatles? And yes they most definitely are gay icons.

It depends upon who the man is ... and the context in which the music will be played.
If it was my partner who’d made that choice, i’d be astonished... ( it’s just not his taste ).

MerylS that was what occurred to me - that you might be wasting your time with him!

You may have hit the nail on the head!

They are all gay icons if that means anything.
