Why Is There A Large Proportion Of Homosexuals In The Arts And Entertainment Industry?

[dave50]

Or there appears to be by the number we hear about. Is there a connection between being gay and being artistic?

Deggers, you misunderstood my post. Dave has shown a lack of tolerance towards many in society, I wasn't suggesting that sexuality is a lifestyle choice.

What about Government? there are a load of shirt lifters amongst them.

[deggers316]

ok but what you wrote " lifestyle choice of others. " suggested that. never mind lets move on...

So what?

Isn't it representative of society at large?

Their constituents weren't bothered, why should no one else be?

[EcclesCake]

^^^ why should *anyone* else.

Because they are in the public eye we know more about them but probably just as many work in shops and factorys but they don't make the papers, live and let live, and don't call them names TWR.

I wasn't criticizing or being 'homophobic'. The main reason I ask is because I was wondering if indeed in particular gay men are inclined to be more artistic then straight men. A lot do appear more flamboyant.

I remember many years ago Time magazine's main article was on what famous people had died from AIDS I can't remember how many pages there were of photos of them and 99.9% were gay. They must have a creative gene.
