I too kind of thought we were talking about content..

My references to preferences had to do with the fact that most straight people aren't yet ready to sing songs about gay issues.

What I mean is that if the song relates to gay sensibilities it's going to be a "gay" artist performing it.
Certainly songs have been written by gay men and women that have been sung by straight people but these deal with love and emotion in the general sense.

I wrote a song a while back about a woman about to "out" herself.
She was asking a "straight" friend "Will I see you on THE OTHER SIDE"..wondering if their friendship would endure the revelation.
I was unable to find anyone interested in performing the song because it dealt with a lesbian speaking in first person.

My suggestion is to do what Mike suggests..
organize your intents..if you bring Brian a reasonable suggestion I think he will treat it fairly.
If this appears to be a viable area of interest I think he will take a look at it.

I hope so....
