Why Is it that many artistic people are g*y?

Question

I have nothing against g*y people but I've always wondered why many people in the arts are g*y, especially your dancers and poets.

Answer 1

Perhaps it's the other way around  -  many g*y people are artistic.

Answer 2

who knows... that's just a common stereotype

Answer 3

This is true about myself as well...

I love drawing, designing rooms, listening/making music.

But I'm sure it's not because I'm g*y.

Flint City just called a r****d of society?

Answer 4

It's been my experience that many artistic people are straight, at least in terms of visual arts. I've modeled for artists and art classes since I was in high school and with a few exceptions, the majority of artists I have encountered were straight. Many g*y people are highly creative, and many are not. It could be that some g*y people are very passionate and uninhibited in terms of dance or writing, thus making them more prolific.  

Answer 5

It simply is not true!

It is just that g**s advertise the fact whilst heterosexual do not.

A simple check of even a small section of any artistic genre would illustrate that g**s are in about the same proportion to heterosexuals as in all other walks of life!!!

Answer 6

1. The key to being artistic is seeing society from a different angle than the average person. The average person is a white christian heterosexual. If you are homosexual, jewish, or black you see the world from a different perspective and therefore these are the people who dominate the arts. (Blacks have not done as well because they are poor and a lot of their music, for example, was stolen by white people.)

2. The arts usually don't pay very well. Women are very materialistic and the number one thing they want from a man is money. If a g*y is hot then other g**s will want him. If a heterosexual is hot women will still not want him unless he has money in his pocket. Therefore, g**s are more likely to take the economic risk of being in show business.

3. REAL men are not sensitive. They pretend to be tough and strong. The key to being artistic is to be in touch with your sensitive side. Heterosexual men deny their sensitive side because society says they are supposed to. g**s are not considered real men anyway so they are more likely to embrace their sensitive side.

4. In the artistic world it is safe to admit you are g*y. Therefore many more g**s come out of the closet. There are plenty of g*y construction workers and professional athletes but if they admitted it they would be beat up and ostracized forever. Part of it is just an illusion.

Answer 7

g*y people are more likely, and proud, to get in touch with their inner emotions and express them by painting/drawing/dancing/poetry/etc.

Answer 8

I think it's because g*y [males,] like girls, are more in touch with their feeling and are better able to express them, which in the process, comes off as ways that express how you feel. Such as dancing when feeling happy, or crying when you feel sad. Not being afraid to express yourself in turn yields something artsy. By the way, not to offend anyone here. I just think it applies a lot of the time, obviously, not for all. I am a Biologist major. Ha ha!
