I used to work in record stores back in the olden days, and didn’t notice that one of the regular customers only bought albums by female artists. So one day he was buying an album, and I suggested a new release by a male artist, and he INSTANTLY got really angry.
“Are you calling me a faggot? You think I’m gay?”
I was completely confused, not understanding what was happening, if this was joke, whatever. I just said, “No, I just thought you’d be interested. It’s a big album, it’s already our top seller…”
“Only a faggot would listen to a male singer, and I’m no faggot, understand?” And he stormed out.
He’d always been a nice guy, and I’d never heard his opinion on listening to singers of the same sex before, but they were VERY strong opinions. When he left, I was convinced that he was gay, and terrified someone would figure it out.
I met someone opposite. I told a guy about all the bands and solo artists I like, plenty of whom are women, and he suggested that once I’m in a long-term relationship I won’t want to listen to women anymore.
I errrr… think that when it comes to women musicians the fella mostly enjoyed the music videos. X_X Or perhaps they made him feel less “alone” or something. He was defo not there just for the music
