Not all gay people are the same, not all straight people are the same..

Not every gay male or female screams out that they are gay.. It's the same with music, not every gay man will like pink pop music.

Some of the early dj's of house and Techno are gay, rock bands have have gay/bi members..

It's just different strokes for different folks, nothing to do with sexuality.

Hmm interesting question.
I am gay and I like The Pixies - yeahyeahyeahs - prog rock - Led Zep - etc etc and I never listen to pop. There are gay clubs in London and elsewhere that play alternative and indie music and they are always packed out. I even know of a gay bar that plays folk music and a gay friend of mine is in a punk band.

Other gay musicians include the drummer in Suede - the keyboard player in Faith No More - Bob Mould from Sugar and not forgetting Michael Stipe - the lead songer of REM - and many others.

i like pop and i also like rock but my bf only likes a few pop songs but loves metal and bands like typo negative. I think it might be what you're brought up listening to! i don't know but i don't think it's sexuality you like what you like

I don't think so, or well, it does to some extent.

I'm gay, and I listen to mostly pop/electro/alternative. I love Christina Aguilera, Dan Black, Sam Sparro, Evanescence, Green Day, Lady GaGa, Patrick Wolf, David Bowie, The Saturdays, Muse, Girls Can't Catch, Ashlee Simpson, The Smiths, Rufus Wainwright, Blondie, Kerli, MPHO, Porcelain And The Tramps, and Ashley Tisdale.

Alternatively, my boyfriend, obviously gay but a lot more straight acting listens to mostly BritRock/Indie. His fave bands are Queen, Oasis, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, The Presets, Blondie, Led Zeppelin, The Arcade Fire, Blur, Madness, The Smiths, Pearl Jam, Muse, Nirvana, U2 and Kasabian.

I think it does have a lot to do with personality. I'm a lot... queenier? camper? &I listen to a lot more lighter stuff that'd be considered gay, whereas he's straighter acting and listens to heavier stuff.
Needless to say, he's a complete music snob too. LOL.

I'm straight and my favourite artists are: Britney Spears, Ashley Tisdale, Miley Cyrus, Leighton Meester, Kelly Clarkson, Jordin Sparks, Demi Lovato, Lady GaGa etc.

Not that I know of.. though I suppose gay people do prefer britney etc. but I like some of her songs and I like some of the good songs from like christina and girl aloud... i am a fan of music

Not really. I think that Madonna, Cher etc... just produce music that appeals to the gay community purposely. As well as doing pro-gay PR things.
