Would you attend a concert featuring a known anti-LGBT performer?

“No. Words are the most important part in music. Words are very powerful. Often, that’s where the message is conveyed. If there’s a negative message, it would be pointless for me to attend a concert like that. There’s much better music out there, with much better messages.”

“Yes, it’s possible that I would attend. It’s wrong to have antigay lyrics in a song. But a lot of musicians do. If I really liked the performer, I could get past his lyrics. He might not really be antigay. He might just be saying those things to grab attention and attract an audience.”

“No, I would be uncomfortable in that setting. The whole fad of being anti-LGBT is a little passé at this point. It’s time to move on. There are plenty of entertainers who don’t spew hate. So I wouldn’t waste my time.”

“No, I would find it offensive. I wouldn’t get totally enraged or join a picket. But I’d just as soon avoid the concert. I’d be turned off by the artist, regardless of whether the songs at the particular concert were anti-LGBT.”
