	Not really. No one ever accused Rob Wratten of the Field Mice of being
gay, and the Field Mice even wrote a song called Sensitive. I think if a
lyricist is going to flirt with the same-sex lyrics, he or she is sure
to be in for accusations. Still, I don't think that should stop anyone.
I think that a song about a man loving a man is certainly more
refreshing than one about a man loving a woman, or vice versa. Not to
say some of my favorite songs haven't been about a man loving a woman,
but in a perfect world, there would be shining examples of both, and all
the other possibilites therein.
