The other day, my fellow blogger StraightJacketed posted a video by Lady Gaga that featured men dancing in boots and leather.<\/p>\n

Also a few days ago, my buddy Clay remarked about being excited to watch something that Lady Gaga performed.<\/p>\n

Last week, another gay friend remarked how much he enjoyed music by Madonna.<\/p>\n

… and all you heard from me (if you heard anything) was a low grumble. I can’t stand pop music that most LGBT people like. Screeching by Gaga and Madonna is like nails on the chalkboard to me. Arrrggghhh!<\/p>\n

Since the advent of rap music, with occasional pop music additions like I mentioned above, I have pretty much stopped listening to anything. Rap is awful throbbing garbage, IMHO. Pop music doesn’t do a thing for me but give me a headache.<\/p>\n

I grew up in a very musical environment, and learned to play banjo (since all other instruments were “taken.”) I love music, but “real” music. Classical music played and\/or sung well is relaxing. But I have a wide and eclectic mix of music I will listen to on occasion: country, rockers of the ’70s, vocalists like Anne Murray and Tony Bennett, … but not Pop that the vast majority of LGBT people enjoy.<\/p>\n

I guess once again I’ll have to turn in my gay card.<\/p>\n

Oh, that’s right! I’m not gay! I’m androphillic!
