A gay tuba player?

[brendanige]

First of all, I'll address the new mods and changes. See this post.

Next goodgigs, no one is trying to make you "confess" anything or sing about loving lefties. Please stop saying that, it's untrue. If you persist, you will not be following our community standards. See here:

Lastly, I love the new conversation! Can't wait till more people get involved!

Scratching my head here...

I am a bi tuba player, and a member of racial, ethnic, and religious minorities. I've been on here since mid-2009, and there hasn't been a single instance on this forum where I haven't been treated with respect and dignity.

I know several gay tuba players, at least one bi tuba player, at least one trans tuba player and several who didn't want to be labelled as any one thing but would best be described as individuals very at ease with their sexuality (or lack thereof) and identity.

I'm sure there are countless more that I know who don't make a big deal about any of it, and would prefer to be described by their playing than their background.

Am I the only one who doesn't have a clue what this thread and change of moderators is all about.

No, you aren't the only one. I mostly missed it as I am still employed 9-5 and tend to stay out of contentious things. I just want to talk about tuba here.

This thread is about gay tuba players. WRT the change of mods, check out the announcement titled "why the changes?" viewtopic.php?f=2&t=97399" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank

Thank you but yes I can read, but seriously al this commotion to get an old thread about gay tuba players back on top off the list. I can't remember anybody saying anything bad about a gay tuba player.
We used to go out in a gay bar when I was younger, great guy's, great music and great fun. We didn't care they being gay, they didn't care we were not and that was 30 years ago.

Why the changes gives no explaining why things happen it's just a standaard text for a forum.

To answer the question-I don’t know, sexual orientation is not a question I would dream of asking in any context, let alone a musical one. It certainly would not affect how I get along with anyone

Really? Is this a thing? Personally, I could not care less. How does the person play? Are they a good colleague? Do they show up on time? Are they a good hang?
