Is there any point to a list which groups such a diverse (in both musical style and in level of public exposure) group of musicians based only on the strength of their sexual preference?

The worry of course, being that users unfamiliar with american music, may be confused into thinking that these completely unrelated musicians have anything to do with each other.

Secondly from a completely personal perspective I find the idea of roll-call based on an entirely personal preference entirely distasteful, as may many readers - not to mention the artists themselves.

Is there some other way of better presenting this information so that information concerning those artists on the list who actively promote LGBT issues are somewhat seperate from those whose choices are entirely personal and have nothing to do with the content of their work.

Thank you
