Indeed, most disco haters also hated classical music, which is about as white and straight as a genre gets

The list of homosexual classical composers and musicians is as long as the Mississippi, as is the list of black classical composers and musicians, going all the way back to John Blanke in the Renaissance.

I’m talking about the major artists in the typical season at the local concert hall. Bach, Brahms, Beethoven, etc.

Over the past 5 years, the works of black and female orchestral composers has gotten more attention. Unfortunately that is driven by leftists who see racism and champion the vapid, and more than likely go home and listen to Ed Sheeran.

That said, some good has come of it: Amy Beth Kirsten and the late Florence Price have some compelling works. Hopefully some of their works continue being performed in the future.
