a little?

anybody who thinks that rec.music.gaffa/love-hounds is a place of "tol-
erance, acceptance and recognition" must have missed out on the glory
days of love hounds's flamewars.

personally, i think that any relationship between orientation and KaTe
fandom is statistical fallout - the number of KaTefans is probably a
sufficiently large enough population to be representative of the people
in the world. i do think that there is something to the notion that
KaTefans might be less inclined to care about orientation. this could
explain why some people perceive there to be more bilaga fans than not,
but i find it a bit silly to go as far as to say that KaTefans are people
of "goodness, purity and righteousness," as eric so sweetly put it, and
thus more open to "alternative lifestyles."
