Why are men thought to be gay when they listen to female pop artists, but women aren't told they're lesbian when they listen to male artists?

What? I like Lana del Rey's voice and enjoy the voices of some old pop stars like Dusty Springfield, who actually was gay, and have never had anyone tell me that.

You're right but there are some people who really think like that. It's really ridiculous by the way I like Lana Del Rey too. She has an angel voice.

It’s pretty simple really, just don’t tell people you listen to it. If people knew some of the music I listen to they would think i invented gay.

Societal stereotypes often play a role in these perceptions. Female pop artists sometimes express emotions and styles associated with femininity, which can lead to assumptions about male fans' sexuality. For women, listening to male artists doesn't carry the same societal assumptions due to different cultural perceptions of gender and sexuality. These stereotypes are outdated and don't reflect everyone's personal preferences or identity. Music appreciation is universal and transcends gender and sexuality! 🎶

good question probably toxic masculinity

That's right, I think that's the reason. I especially love singers like Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, and Selena Gomez. But some of my friends say, "How are you hetero?" It's a ridiculous perception.

[loladevine]

that makes you even more hetero cuz you listen to woman ask them why they wanna listen to a man’s voice why they want men to serenade them

[Asker]

You are right, they really have a very ridiculous perception. It's just like macho men saying why don't you follow football? Does watching 22 sweaty men make you hetero? Anyway, it actually matters, just like most hobbies don't have an orientation and music tastes shouldn't have a sexual orientation either.

Since when does this ever happen?

Try being a guy and putting on Miley Cyrus on the AUX in front of your friends, and let me know if this doesn’t happen.
