Subject: BS: Are folkies homophobic?
I had a question to ask about Ashley MacIsaac a day or so ago. One of the anwers I got was:

"he's a great fiddler when he's not buggering boys...."

which I found rather shocking. I doubt that this sort of statement represents the attitude of most MudCatters, however I thought it might be worth a discussion.

Any out gay folkies out there? If so, what's your experience in terms of acceptance in the folk community?

Is the folk world an exclusively straight domain?
