Go ask Alice, When she's ten feet tall

Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar has given you the call

Go ask Alice, I think she'll know.

I'll take being me. It is not only true but a compliment, Thanks!.

If you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything.
 
Also, as I was speaking with her she mentioned her daughter's dad or close friend anyway was also a DJ and while they were entertaining using him her daughter made it known while she was ok with mom being gay... she wasn't too comfortable with it in front of her friends yet...

So, we'll see how this pans out after she talks with her partner.

Listen Rox... after talking with her she sounds to be a very sincere person. She is not a young bride per sa. I really don't think that is much of a flag at all and so what... who cares so she knows a friend that is a DJ we both agree that it may be better for the friend/family member to simply attend and have fun rather than worry about the DJ duties.

Ummm, me thinks there may be other underlying problems here.

In the words of King Arthur in Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail, "Run away, run away."

I really don't think being a professional and performing my duties as a DJ to the best of my abilities regardless of my beliefs or the beliefs of the general public at large makes me what I assume you mean by the photoshop picture as being spineless.... I call it professional detachment. I don't have to believe in something in order to provide good services.

Based on this narrow discussion, Which do you most want to be identified as/with:

Rob - A man that had values that occasionally DJ'd
or
Rob - A DJ that occasionally had values

Only you can decide.
 
There are plenty of straight couples with "underlying problems," too. I've DJed for plenty of newlyweds with kids from another marriage. Just because we're talking about gays as opposed to straights does not make it any more of a red flag or "underlying problem."

My values sit squarly where they fit for me... I do not pass judgement on others nor will I impose my values upon them.

Question for you.

Do radio jocks worry that gay or straight couples are listening to their radio broadcasts?

If so should they stop broadcasting simply because someone with differing values may be listening?

This is a silly debate really.... weather I think the gay lifestyle is right or wrong doesn't matter to me the DJ. Further it is not on me to judge.

I have no doubt or inclination to the contrary.

However, the "I have a friend's brother's co-worker's neighbor" mantra is ALWAYS a red flag for me.
 
We are treading on ice here, please remember to be respectful of all ODJT members and their beliefs and how they choose to run their business.

While some may not agree with others, it is okay to talk about being different, it is not okay to slam, pick on, be dis-respectful or otherwise be mean to anyone here.

Not saying it has happened yet, just giving a "please be respectfull" note...
 
Thanks Chuck.

I don't think anyone has gotten out of line yet...

I think it's good to talk about these types of events and how they impact the way you do business and how to approach them in the best light.

After all we are living in the 21st century now not the 1900's.

I look at it this way, it is a lifestyle choice. I don't think folks are born gay or straight they just gravitate to what is most comfortable to them.

Again it is not for me to judge if it's right or wrong for another person.
 
Well... as to the original post, same-gender marriages are becoming legal in some states. So this is an issue that affects the DJ business directly. :)

That's where I'll, wholeheartedly, disagree with you but that's an entirely different thread...and I don't feel like dealing with it right now.

Is cool.... I know there are different schools of thought on this.

But really the reasons one is straight or gay doesn't really matter in the case of performing at their event, right?

I shouldn't think it would make any difference either way.

True but one should make sure that one is totally comfortable with the environment they will be going into first. Might I suggest visiting a gay club first?

I've watched Will & Grace isn't that enough? :sqwink:

Seriously, I have no problem with gays at all.... I have friends that are gay and they seem pretty normal to me.
