I don't know about this, at least in my experience. The gay and lesbian
contingent are always prominent at parties in Iowa.  Of course, I do live
in the gayest city in Iowa.

To make a gross generalization, I'd say that the gays I know from the
club/party scene are up for anything you can dance to , but aren't big
record buyers.  I do know two lesbian deep house DJ's who live around here.
Both quite excellent by the way.

You're right, maybe North Carolina is the problem ;-)
