my point is that performers should get bookings regardless of sexual inclination,that bookings should be decided purely on musical merit.
Ruth,I am not begrudging any performers anything,I am questioning the logic behind putting on a concert that excludes hetrosexual performers,if an organiser does that it is perfectly logical,that a case can be argued for excluding any performer becuase they do not fit in to a certain sexual or ethnic category.
I will play devils advocate for one minute,if you do exclude one group because they are heterosexual,then a logical argument can be made for excluding black white gay or trans gender or anything else.
my opinion is that their should be no prejudice against anyone because of their sexuality or colour etc.
I think it would have been a better idea to have included hetrosexauls in the concert as well.
" I sort of see the OP's point (at least, what I hope was his point).

While events that promote understanding and tolerance are great, there may be a slight risk that some of them serve to reinforce perceptions of difference. Perhaps perpetuating an us-and-them artificial separateness"
yes that was one of my points
