Gay Show - 7/6/09

In honor of Gay Pride Weekend, which was over a week ago, I played all bands with a gay artist or artists or possibly bisexual or in one case, transgendered or in another case, transsexual. These were certainly some important people to the punk/post-punk/new wave/alternative genre but really it is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of music and the tip of Mt. Everest when it comes to entertainment as a whole. As I said several times on the show and now once on this blog, queer peoples' contribution to the arts is something to be truly admired and respected. That was what I tried to do this evening with the show:
