Category talk:LGBT-themed musical groups

message: What does it mean for a group to be in this category? Do one, more than one or all of its members have to be LGBT? Do the themes in the band's music and image have to represent LGBT society? It just occurred to me that Hüsker Dü, a band that was made up of two gay men and one straight man, is not included here. They certainly pass having the LGBT members thing, although the themes of their music barely touch on LGBT themes at all (except, notably, the song She's A Woman (And Now He Is A Man)). Worth adding the band to this category?--h i s   s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 18:32, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this is a very good question, and I don't have a good answer. A band with one gay member? That's like calling Bloc Party an African-American musical group! If David Bowie and Mick Jagger have a drunken orgy, do they both get in the category? Do the Kinks qualify for "Lola"? --Dhartung | Talk 01:29, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah. This is not a clearly defined category at the moment, and until someone can define it, I don't really see much reason for its existence.--h i s   s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 14:09, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh yeah, and it wouldn't be like calling Bloc Party an African-American musical group because their singer may have an African background but that isn't an American one to the best of my knowledge.--h i s   s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 19:31, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just added Queen and came here for guidance on whether or not I should add Judas Priest as well.  Perhaps we could rename the category "Musical groups with at least one LGBT member"? Hoof Hearted 17:11, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Criteria for inclusion 

message: I'd like a consensus on the following "gray area" groups:
*t.A.T.u. - Both portrayed as lesbians despite being straight, which actually led to their success
** Do include Hoof Hearted
** include with qualifier as above. Benjiboi 06:07, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

message: * The Murmurs - I went ahead and added The Murmurs because they were very vocal about being queer, but let me know if anyone has any objections. -Stephanie B 
* Sleater-Kinney - Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein, both bisexuals who dated for a while, founded the group, making two of the three members queer. But their music is not what I would call LGBT-themed -- it's more feminist. -Stephanie B
:definitely include Sleater-Kinney, they have contributed to highly visable LGBT-themed soundtracks and events. Benjiboi 03:44, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
