I'm amused that they didn't include a list of bands and singers who encourage women's lib and lesbianism.
That would bring in all of the ladies who ever did Lilith Fair, and MANY gay men attend these functions.
Meh, I guess since lesbianism's often more accepted in society, it's only our little boys we should worry about, right?

Huh, Frank seems to be one of the least gay, since he sings love songs and whatnot...

Um....Mick Jagger? I'd say that one is more qualified then say...Jay-Z.

Oh yay. George Michael isn't on the list.
And they put Elton John twice. I guess they're pretty adamant about him.

I joked about Cole Porter being on the list, saying that if you're listening to Cole Porter you were probably already gay to begin with. (Cole Porter wrote the music for many successful musicals . Though he was married, he did swing more gay)
I was amazed they put Dresden Dolls on the safe list really. They perform with emo bands and I wouldn't have considered them Christian-friendly.
Their Coin-Operated Boy video:

Wow, I truly hope this is a joke.
It chuckles me to see Judas Priest, since Rob Halford is gay. So I guess that makes them a gay band sending out a gay message?
But yeah, tons of great bands on that list. Then the "Safe List" is too typical, because I'm pretty sure most of those bands are dignified Christian bands.
But yeah, how annoying for someone to make a list like that.

In Our effort to keep this list up to date we'd appreciate your help. If you know of a band that is Gay or propogating a Gay message please email us so we can update. Donnie is handling this his email is: donniedavies@gmail.com
The response is overwhelming. You guys know of a lot more Gay Bands than I do. I can't keep up. Hopefully soon we'll have it so you can add them by yourself.
They forgot Fall Out Boy.
And their list of "safe bands":
We know that it can be difficult to differentiate what is good or bad for your child. With that in mind Love God's Way has created this powerful tool to let you see some bands and entertainment that is safe for your children.
Safe Music:
* Dresden Dolls
* UnderOath
* Cyndi Lauper
* Falling Up
* Flyleaf
* THE TURNING
* Disciple
* P.O.D
* Evanescence
* By The Tree
* Scott Reed
* Michael W. Smith
* Jars of Clay
* DC Talk
* Danielson
Amusingly, Creed's not on the list.
I'm sure this is a joke, or this person's very naive and easily taken advantage of by people who want to add bands they hate.
