Why is it that technique among white American musicians is generally poor except among white American homosexuals? Is homosexuality a coincidental trait that seems to negate the stereotype of slow/weak fingers? In general, I find, most white American musicians that have excelled in the music world have always been gay. Consider the trend.

Aaron Copland, single most famous American composer of the 20th century - gay.
Henry Cowell, famous for his invention of tone clusters - gay.
Ned Rorem, pulitzer prize winner and American art-song master - gay
Leonard Bernstein, legendary conductor and composer of "West Side Story" - gay.
John Cage, avant-garde innovator who started an American music movement - gay
Virgil Thompson, music critic and composer known for his wit and simplicity - gay
Garrick Ohlsson, world-renowned concert pianist - gay
David del Tredici, famous song writer and avant-garde composer - gay
John Corigliano, a favorite composer amongst performing musicians - gay.
Michael Tilson Thomas, music director of the San Francisco Symphony - gay.

...and the list goes on and on. Those are just the ones off the top of my head. A-list crowd, I know.

The trend doesn't appear to be changing either - consider your musician peers that you know today (the extremely talented ones) who are white Americans. Chances are he is either gay, or stuck deep in that closet.
