Good argument; don't put todays standards on the 1970's. I tend to agree with you.
But on another level ... I recently saw a documentary about the 1970's were a well known Dutch socialist politician was doing a plea on national TV for accepting the practice of pedophelia. Just as long as the child is consenting. Zeitgeist too.
To be perfectly clear: I do realize that's a whole different thing. The BF cover: yeah, it was probably innocent.

To add something different, here goes:
Silas Malafaia, a neo-con monetary sheperd (nothing to do with you, Marcel ) who wants all gay people burning in 'hell' and Toni Reis, an activist for the gay's rights. Their faces show everything.

I too believe the blind faith album cover was made without second or bad intentions however even 60's to date, I do think it is not right. Hey I too shock people sometimes about my open mind and provocative things that sometimes come out of my mouth, however that cover is a big no no.
lol Gulbamsen, silly people will always exist, I bet she is the biggest pervert too
Indeed they do
I saw this vid pop up on Facebook here the other day and I think I've watched it 5 times now. She is unbelievably funny, although that is probably not what she was going for
...and yes I could imagine her being quite the saucy minx in the bedroom

I apologise if I was a tad too light-hearted regarding this subject.
I am very lucky to live in a country that, mostly, has accepted gay people as normal folks with equal rights to marriage, have kids and so forth.
I hope this Malafaia person doesn't get too much wind in his sails. He seems dangerous and wholly unsympathetic
No, David, you're not! The issue is really serious but sometimes those neo-con dudes make us laugh even knowing how dangerous they are and how many people they can influence.
In the USA people did a lot of memes concerning the picture I posted above:
Well, a good friend of mine at Uni was homosexual and he loved prog rock, Rush and Dream Theater being his two favorites and were major influences on his music, so I don't think so?
I can't say other gay friends I had knew of prog, but then again most of my straight friends also don't know what prog is either. I have certainly had both laugh at me and my crazy music
It's like how every few months a thread would pop up asking "Do girls like prog?" and most of us respond, we'd just like to meet anyone who knows prog
It's just, not a very well known genre of music regardless of orientation, or gender, or anything unfortunately.

Who said the forum is dead...we just need to talk about homosexuals more. 'Prog' was always about the music first and not about an image or lifestyle; anyone could be a progger but not everyone could be a punk or a metalhead. I'm not homophobic but I will say one thing; I hate being hit on by gay guys. The way they go about it makes me feel like a teenage girl being bothered by some old creep.

^ along with lots of SWilson threads....for the trolls to play in...
it is like I told David.. it is all cyclical...what was once shall become again....the site is finally beginning to awake from its years long slumber..
and wild wild west of PA's yore... here we go... time to mount my old warhorse and ride down some SWilson fans.. and maybe a few Dull fans as well as a bonus. And who gets the credit.. lets give it to our LGBT community here at PA's for awakening our long dormant lusts and passions

Oh heaven forbid you actually have to experience how f**king terrible it is to be a woman? Hahaha
I think everyone could be a punk or a metalhead too. I've known all types of metalheads and punk rock folks.

Is prog only for heterosexuals?
