I'm a temptress, damn it.

Two links:

A Christian blog sums up what clothes make women looks trampy. Here, let me sum it up for you -- pretty much everything. According to that sight, the extra-large Orangemen hoodie and baggy jeans I wear to work make me look like a slut.

And also, a Christian website's guide to bands that support gays or will turn your kids gay. No, no, it gets better -- look at the "Safe" list. Oh, and an added bonus ... a quote at the top of the page by "reformed homosexual" Oscar Wilde. Yeah, THAT Oscar Wilde. I'm trying to think of when he could possibly reformed and I believe it might have been for about five seconds during a Saturday luncheon just to give all of the pretty boys at his table a good chuckle.

Anyone feel that slight tremor in Paris? That's Wilde laughing his ass off in his own grave.

[xturtle.livejournal.com]

The only way Wilde could be remotely considered a "reformed" homosexual is because he spent time in prison.

I do no think that word means what they think it means.

[sabotabby]

The Indigo Girls and Elton John are on there twice. If I listen to one and not the other, do I cancel out teh ghey?

And how is Morrissey questionable?

And Frank Sinatra WTF?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Well, that second Elton John listing does point out that he is "really gay". So gay the homosexuality can't be crammed into one line. *nods solemnly*

[sweill.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking Wilde was 'reformed' in the same way some Jews were 'converted' by Mormons - posthumously!

People are silly.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I like to picture Oscar Wilde sitting in Heaven with a hot young stud in his lap going, "Oh, for fuck's sake." Or probably something more erudite, considering.

[vic-ramsey.livejournal.com]

Morrissey (questionable?)

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Best thing all night.

[catystorm.livejournal.com]

Frank Sinatra WTF? No, really. WTF.

[the-liftedlorax.livejournal.com]

Eminem is on the list of bands that will turn your kids gay. This makes no sense.

[james-translate.livejournal.com]

No no, it makes sense, he sang a duet with Elton John once.

He's probably gay by proxy then. (yes, I'm being sarcastic)

[omendreamer.livejournal.com]

The Frank Sinatra thing is probably because he did duet recordings of some of his classic romance songs with other famous male singers. I have like five of them on one CD. It's hilarious-Frank Sinatra crooning gay romance!

[ladysorka]

...I really want copies of those.

[wyldemusick.livejournal.com]

Morton Subotnick will turn you gay?! Ravi Shankar?!?

Whuh?

*snicker*

Morrissey is questionable? The worldwide icon of instagay instagoths and emo kids everywhere? Well, Morrissey is kinda questionable in all kinds of ways I suppose....

Amused that Cyndi Lauper is on the safe list.

[vivien]

What really made me blink and giggle was the (?questionable?) by Morrissey...

I mean...

Morrissey. COME ON. SO GAY. So wonderfully, Oscar Wilde-loving gay, at that.

But Kansas? And Motorhead? Yeah, they're gay. So pro-gay.

Wow. That was amazing.

[marginaliana]

That was my thought, too. I mean, it's Morrissey! There's no question about it.

[svz-insanity.livejournal.com]

Oscar Wilde?! I, uh. No words. (Also, Elton John?)

[free-reverie.livejournal.com]

I really cannot help but love that Elton John is on there twice and the second time lists that he's "really gay".

Heh. Do they think we don't know that by now? :P

But man does it amuse me that Cydni Lauper is on the safe list.

Oh you silly silly people. *Pats on the head*

[lots42.livejournal.com]

Cyndi Lauper did the 'main' song for The Goonies, where several nubile young boys go on an adventure by themselves and where one does a semi-strip tease.

Yes, I know I am going to the really special hell.

[supesfan88.livejournal.com]

Cyndi Lauper ... WTF?

Two words, man "She Bop"

Everybody Bops

Well, one of the lyrics *is*, "I don't even understand...", which the Love God's Way people obviously took to heart.

[shinga.livejournal.com]

Clay Aiken

... Well, can't argue THAT logic..

*L* kidding.

Oscar Wilde's Rehab programme - must've missed that memo.

[22by7.livejournal.com]

BUT DON'T YOU SEE.

MOTORHEAD, METALLICA, KANSAS AND THE ROLLING STONES ARE ALL ON THAT LIST.

ERGO DEAN WINCHESTER IS GAAAAY.

Re: Oscar Wilde's Rehab programme - must've missed that memo.

[lots42.livejournal.com]

We didn't need some fundies to tell us Dean likes to shoot off other men's firearms.

[random-serious.livejournal.com]

Sometimes, just sometimes there are things that are so out there that I can't just quite decide if they aren't jokes after all. (Then, most of the time, I sadly realise that these people are serious. And want to claw my brains out and scream.)

[sabra-n.livejournal.com]

Here, let me sum it up for you -- pretty much everything. According to that sight, the extra-large Orangemen hoodie and baggy jeans I wear to work make me look like a slut.

Well, there's only one solution to this problem. Clearly we're all going to have to walk around naked.

[fidelis5588.livejournal.com]

What?! Metallica? Kansas?
Tell them to leave my bands alone, dammit. They're idiots. It makes me ashamed of my own kind.
-_-.

[bionicaknee.livejournal.com]

Cindy Lauper on the Safe from Gay list? AHAHAHAHA! That has to be one of the best things I have ever read.

Does no one remember her redo of Girls Just Want To Have Fun with the drag queens?! You could see the gay from space!

[teenygozer.livejournal.com]

Frankie Goes to Hollywood

Didn't they do a song called "Relax (Don't do it)", which was a heartfelt, obviously Christian plea for teen abstinence? No?

Why is there an asterisk on Boy George? It doesn't seem to refer to anything.

[varity.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHA!!!!

Jay Z is gonna make me turn GAY?! JAY Z?! REALLY?!

And JOHN MAYER?! Who serenaded his girlfriend's (!!!) body?! GAY?!

*dies*

[vass]

Maybe it's in the sense where since the Inquisition burns witches to save their souls, if you're the victim of a witch hunt then you've been saved.

Or maybe they read De Profundis and only got as far as the title, assumed that because it uses Biblical language he must have Found God.

Or maybe they're arguing that you're only gay when you're actively in a same-sex relationship, and since his and Bosie's relationship didn't survive... *looks it up* No, that won't work, they reconciled. And then Wilde died. And it was after that that Bosie got all Catholic and denounced him as "the greatest force for evil in the last 350 years," and I hope he's very sorry.

In Our effort to keep this list up to date we'd appreciate your help. If you know of a band that is Gay or propogating a Gay message please email us so we can update. Donnie is handling this his email is: donniedavies@gmail.com

The response is overwhelming. You guys know of a lot more Gay Bands than I do. I can't keep up. Hopefully soon we'll have it so you can add them by yourself.

From this I note several important facts:
- They use the Royal Plural
- They can't keep up with which bands are or aren't gay
- They have an email address for nominating suspect bands.
- Frank Sinatra is already listed.

Now, I would never suggest that anyone prank them by submitting the most incongruous bands possible. That would be redundant - I mean bad. Naughty. Terribly naughty.

(But geez, they don't even have 'Nsync or Ricky Martin, or classical composers like Britten or Smythe or Wagner or Beethoven or Schubert or Tchaikovsky or Mussorgsky or Rimsky-Korsakov or excuse me, if I start in on the gay Russian composers I may be here some time.)

[wufeidragon.livejournal.com]

Sufjan Stevens??? But.. shouldn't christians LIKE him? Considering all of his songs are about God?

And Depeche Mode talk about faith and god in so many songs... and they're not gay.

David Bowie, on the other hand, I can really see.

Re: ?

[lots42.livejournal.com]

When the Crazies really get going, suspicion equals guilt.

[cleverthylacine]

I couldn't believe that dresses with a waistband or belt and skirts that were narrow at the waist and wide at the hip are considered immodest.

And I run modest_style which is a non-denominational modesty community for Muslims, Jews, Christians and pagans alike who are interested in modest, feminine dress.

Yes. I run a modesty community, I only wear skirts except to do rough work, and I only wear tops with sleeves, and I think that site is INSANE. They are saying that long necklaces and tops with printed designs on them draw too much attention to the bust. WTF. I am sitting here with my head covered, in an ankle-length skirt, and a long-sleeved t-shirt, and my outfit would not pass muster with those guys because I have a design across my boobs.

Someone needs to tell these yahoos that if you have so much of a problem controlling your thoughts that you think about sex when you see a woman wearing a low cut shirt with another shirt under it, you need meds.
