Choice of music?

Hmm. Now I have to ask exactly what you meant by "pause for thought"?

Aaah! I didn’t realise they were gay icons either. I’ve led a sheltered life! Xx

It seems a very limited list. I review my Desert Island Discs selection (you never know!) every 10 to 15 years, and my selection of eight is much more varied than just gay icons of a certain generation.

Do other people’s taste in music matter, unless one is forced to listen to it oneself?
I don’t understand the OP.

Isn’t the point of the OP to invite speculation on whether a person’s choice of music is an indication of character? Seems harmless to me. If pressed, I’d say OP’s man might not be someone I’d be spending an evening in the pub with.

Grumppa if that’s the case, what does it say about someone with eclectic tastes in music & enjoys anything from Beethoven & Mahler to bluegrass, soul, jazz, Latin, swing and rock’n’roll?

I woud have nothing in common with him so would leave .

I’d think he had good taste in pop music of a certain time. If some of you grans haven’t heard of those singers you must be very young grans!

Its not my kind of music, but if he likes those artists he does, it wouldn’t give me pause for thought!

Judy Garland still hols the number 1 slot for 'Gay Icon'

I'd instantly assume he was gay

And what if he is? ?‍♀️

I don't get the point of the OP.

It feels a bit like sniggering at someone behind your hand to me.

I didn’t get it, but we live and learn. Just brought Dusty Springfield to mind, a fabulous singer.

No pause for thought. I would start dancing along.

Illte It is quite well-known that those particular singers are icons of gay people. I couldn't give a toss if someone is gay or if they like Donna Summer and Cher.

I've been puzzling over this and never thought of gay icons either - why are they?
My husband hasn't got musical bone in his body, but I still love him. He used to like Nana Mouscouri at one time because she wears glasses like his.

Me neither pinkcakes so what exactly is the point of the original post?
