Hey, I never said that musical theatre makes people be gay PalJoey, anyways...now that you said that, my dad took me to see Liza Minnelli in concert(i asked him to) when i was 14yo, the funny thing is that he still didn't suspect i was gay. When i came out, it was a surprise!!!LOL!!!

I was raised in an era (and an environment), where Broadway musicals were among the popular tunes of the day, heard on radio, and featured on television variety hours. No one put a label on it, other than good or bad. My maternal grandfather introduced me to Broadway musicals, when he brought over his cast recordings, then he actually took me to see the London production of MY FAIR LADY, starring most of the Broadway cast. My parents also supported the arts, including Broadway shows. It is, in more recent years, that this label of gay has been associated with it. It seems to have coincided with the decline of good breeding and class, in America. And, that's not a rich vs. poor statement. Back in the 50's and 60's, class and good taste had nothing to do with wealth. I'm happy that all three of my sons, have an appreciation for musical theater, and don't seem to be the least bit embarrassed by it. They were raised on it.

I'm a straight guy and actually got into theater because of an ex-girlfriend of mine who was a drama minor in college. I still retain that love of theater that I developed out of our relationship.
