Alasdair, you might this thread of interest: Historical lesbian/gay/bisexual songs?

Just my 2 cents worth, I read Bagpuss' comment as referring to the anon. guest in the other thread who posted what, imo, was a slur in using the expression "buggering." However, I will NOT get into another one of the anon. guest vs named member debates, again. I thought we'd run them into the ground and it's been nice not to see any of that for the past week or two.**bg**

In answer to your question, Al, I have seen some homophobic attitudes on the Mudcat, not many, but some. I have also seen some ignorance, but those have been willing to learn. I don't think it was anything on their part except just not knowing whom to ask for info. By and large, I have seen mostly acceptance and support. Most folkies don't think of it as an issue at all, imo.

bi, for now and always,
