I don't usually like to be mean, but I have to state my thoughts on this.
This is either one of the dumbest questions I've ever heard or one of the stupidest. Hahaha |

Heh, it's an interesting question: are minorities and those who are historically oppressed less likely to seek non-traditional outlets? When you are held to be different than the majority already, do you compensate by stricter adherence to the cultural norm to which you are tied? Phrased in the opposite direction, does being in the majority offer more freedom for personal preference and expression? Or could the opposite be true: does being outcast provide a gateway into other alternative lifestyles? I wonder what the data would say. It's clear that culture has a massive impact on preferences, but I wouldn't know whether cultural clash would result in harder lines or more blurred ones. You often see strong polarization when people feel their way of life is threatened by a competing culture, so my gut feeling is that Prog is for heterosexual white males out of happenstance. |

It might only be tangentially related, but I have read an article about Kele from Bloc Party on how he is vastly more accepted in the edm community than the rock community. Found it: https://thump.vice.com/en_us/article/bloc-partys-kele-okereke-on-being-gay-and-black-in-the-dance-and-rock-worlds |

Prog is not overtly concerned with love or lust lyrically, and puts itself, by default, into a neutral ground. That's not something you will find in mainstream pop lyrics or in other genres like metal.

SteveG, hello! m Well it depends how you look at it, Prog Album covers in 70's were kinda fab and hot tho' i.e. the likes of Blind Faith, Bitches Brew or Santana's Abraxas and offcourse stoned Hendrix Electric Ladyland among others.... Instead of being open minded and progressive these days we seem to have gone back to Victorian era Hugs! xxxx |

Well it depends, it's a valid question really :) Peter Gabriel wore a red dress and a fox ontop of his head, thus prog holds no boundaries really. There is no such thing as silly when it comes to prog. Smurph

They are not exactly prog, although possibly progressive, but Death Grips have some very un-Victorian era album covers. :) |

Agreed, because they shouldn't have asked a young pubescent girl to pose naked for the album cover. She was still a child. Wonderful album BTW |

Prog isn't for heteros for homos. It's for Brits.
And Italians. To be a slightly more serious (but still not serious enough), it seems to me that there are very few LGBT celebrities in the prog-rock community compared to the metal world where Rob Halford or Marissa Martinez (the artist formerly known as Dan Martinez from Cretin) seem to be well accepted. |

True, Moogtron III, she was only 14 years old at the time I believe. In regards to the moozik ditto! It is really good on this album. More
