Just a thought, but isn't it just a bit sad that there will be no Arlo, Hank Jr, Liza or Kirsty to follow on from Janis Ian, Judy Small, k d lang et al?

Although AI, surrogacy or adoption may be substituted for normal procreation, isn't this chosen homosexual "lifestyle" inherently sterile and non-(re)productive? Socially acceptable it may be, but it can never be normal, or homo sapiens would be extinct already.

I am not homophobic and have several "gay" friends and acquaintances (although I still begrudge them the adjective), it is just that I get the feeling that there is a fashionable tendency to impute homosexuality to any male who exhibits sensitivity or a "feminine" (ie not testosterone-laden) nature.

This buggers up the gene pool by making it harder for normal, sensitive, heterosexual women to find suitable partners of the opposite sex, which can make them turn to other women, celibacy, serial monogamy or, worse (for the offspring, at least), single parenthood and thus contribute to the decline of what little remains of civilisation.

Basically, though, I don't give a flying f*** what artists (or anyone else for that matter) do in their private life, I'd just hate to see the breed die out! So, it is perhaps just as well that the majority of us are still resolutely heterosexual.
