A shaky premise leads to an inaccurate conclusion. John seems to
assume that we all know about the so-called connection between "gay" and
classical music. Personally, the only source where I've ever heard of this
connection is from classical music *lovers* on this list. I've heard about
the "nerd" connection, even used it when I was younger. That's about it.
John might consider that some heterosexual men simply love women so much
that they enjoy being with them, listening to them, talking to them, and
even writing about them. A hidden agenda doesn't have to exist.
I only have one basic answer to the thread question - Not me.
