"Gay clientele" was RE: Erard Grand Piano

[philromano@attglobal.net]

Sorry to start such a flak. I was just trying to inject a little humor in
regards to my story about the Erard. As to gay clientele, I think that we
are lucky that so many "alternate lifestyle" proponents choose music (and
specifically piano) as their vocation. Many of the most talented musicians
I've met are either openly gay or very possibly gay. I don't care either
way. I just like to listen to their music and am grateful for their
patronage.

As to natural law, who's to say., I don't like equating humans with animals
in any sense. We're far more complicated. And what ever people do with their
anatomy is their own business.

to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals.
It's just that they need more supervision."   - Lynn Lavner
