Comment on If cannibalism were the norm and human meat was freely available in grocery stores, there would surely be people who prefered to eat only the meat of people of their own ethnicity or only women's meat

I worked in record stores in the olden days, and got casually familiar with several regulars. One day, a regular customer was buying an album, and I mentioned that some artist had just dropped a new album, if he was interested.

He got very serious, and said “That album is by a man. Do you think I’m gay?”

I was instantly confused, and just asked " What?"

He was getting angry now, and repeated “Do you think I’m gay? Only a gay guy would but an album by a man!”

I had never encountered this attitude before, and I have never encountered it since, but here it was - if a man bought an album by another man, he is gay. I had never noticed that every artist this guy bought was female.

I tried explaining that your musical choices do not reflect your sexuality, but he just yelled at me, called me the F-word a bunch of times, and left, and never returned

I had never cared to think about it before, but after that experience, I came to the conclusion that he was DEFINITELY gay.

When I was a very young kid, I used to think it was weird if boys liked songs by women. Now I don’t give a shit, but it was something I used to think.

  When I was a young kid, I liked songs by women because they were in my range. I’d go back to being 14 for one reason only. When my voice changed, I had a 10-11 month period that I could sing Soprano 1 to Bass 1. Couldn’t do Bass 2 at that point. Then my voice cracked and I could barely sing for a few months. These days I have trouble getting up to an Irish Tenor.
