I hope that this is a joke ...

Regardless, it's really fucking funny.

A Christian Fundie group - Love Gods Way - has a section of their website that lists "Gay Bands" and "Safe Bands".

So, who - or what - has been deemed to be a "Gay Band"? Well, there's some of the usual suspects (Elton John, k.d. lang, Indigo Girls) as well as some not-so-usual (Wilco, Jay-Z, and Frank Sinatra). The full list - typos and vague coding included - is under the cut.

i find it amusing that the dresden dolls (who toured with panic - who are on the bad list ZOMG - a few years back, if i remember correctly) are on the list. i find it even MORE amusing that cyndi lauper is on the list, since she's a total supporter of GLBT causes. hi, true colors tour? hehe. yeah, i'd love to see some of these parents who run this website take their kids to the true colors tour! that'd be AWESOME!!!

No doubt! Someone I know said that she was also surprised to see Dresden Dolls on the list - because of their song "First Orgasm".

And the families that look at the site? Yeah, if they went to see the True Colors tour, they'd freak out over being surrounded by Teh Gayness ... because, you know, you can become gay by just listening to the music and/or being in the same room with them!!
