KaTe the fag hag? Who CARES???

[kudla@cs.columbia.edu (Robert Kudla)]

Just curious: Why in the world are people so concerned whether KaTe
has written some gay-male-positive lyrics when she herself is female?
It's not just the heterosexual males who would Just Die if she got
married, either; I've seen some women posting in this thread.

Kate is an artist.  Kate probably knows *lots* and *lots* of gay men
and lesbians, and maybe some of them are close friends with her.  Kate
has written about Houdini, murder, incest, cloudbusting, dreams,
(heterosexual) sexual relations, pregnancy, women struggling over
various obstacles, surreal experiences, and a jillion other topics.  I
think it's safe to assume she hasn't personally experienced some of
these things, but has experienced others.  Why assume that writing
about gay men means Something's Wrong?
