Let's be real here.

See, this is the perception I have an issue with. I basically live and breathe pop music, and yes I am gay. But I'm not flamboyant at all; my only feminine tendancies are my music preference and the way I behave in my (rather nonexistant) love life. I don't go around wearing "girly" or "gay" clothing, I don't use stereotypical "gay" hand gestures, and I have an almost perfectly average voice. And when people found out I liked pop music (I wasn't out yet even to my friends) I was immediately called gay and other names. But only by a very small group of people. Everyone else is like "oh, you like Lady Gaga, that's cool" and even if they find out my orientation they don't care, they're just like "oh I didn't know that".
The only people who immediately associate an expressed musical taste with sexual orientation are narrow-minded douchebags and closeted homosexuals.

Nicki has Urban hits, Beyonce has Love on Top, Party & BTINH, Rihanna has WMN, TTT & Birthday Cake.
I can see how people find these three heterosexual.
You're friends may be ignorant, but I don't think they mean homosexual, it's just a feminine trait TBH.

People like that are dumb. Music has nothing to do with sexual orientation. That's just a dumb stereotype. You are gay if you are sexuality attracted to men, not the type of genre of music you listen to. People assume if you're gay, you like pop music. I know quite of few gay people who prefer death metal or country. People need to stop making assumptions.
Listen to whatever you want.

Only people who are insecure with their own sexuality judge others based on their taste in music... also, being a "straight male" who can't tolerate female musicians is beyond sexist. You can't tell me that every straight male doesn't have some hidden pop tunes on their ipod

In my country if you don't listen to an awful thing called "Cumbia", you are yes or yes gay, no matter what you listen (Pop, Indie, Hip-Hop, even Rock) you're been called gay. I'm always bullied about that.

I really want a scientist to study what makes pop so "feminine" to society. If there's actually something with the way that sound is perceived by different body chemicals.

Obviously taste in music has nothing to do with sexual preference, but as it has been said not a lot of straight guys openly listen to female pop.

if you only kwen on many ****ing times i've heard that phrase...
I always though that the society thinks in this way:
Fans of Britney, Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna, Madonna, bla bla bla are girls and LGBT community
Fans of Bieber, Timberlake, 1D, Maroon 5 are for girls and a few members of LGBT community
Fans of U2, Coldplay, RHCP, BEP, Springsteen, are guys and a few girls.

Me too! Lmao I will go through my iPod and find something "manlier" to play sometimes when I'm listening to it in my car.
My tennis hottie Andy Roddick tweeted about listening to Call Me Maybe 12 times in a day, which made me feel a little less embarrassed
