I don't know if this has been asked already but I'm curious to hear your opinion.
It seems that we live in a world where homosexuality/bi-sexuality is more accepting. We hear the heteros state that they're fine with it and have friends who are gay but deep down, do they really just respect it and not truly accept it?
Recently I've noticed certain artists that are in indie bands coming out of the closet and although they're not in the mainstream, one would think it'd be easier for them to be out. But it seems quite the contrary. I could only imagine how difficult it must be for a more mainstream entertainer to come out and not be pigeonholed. It must be extra hard for those who are men and are genuinely bi sexual.
What are your thoughts on this? Is the world truly ready for an artist/entertainer to be open about their sexuality and not be judged with negative consequences even in a subtle way? For example, would Ricky Martin's last record have been more successful if he was still in the closet??
