Oh, Lordy. We’ve just been alerted to the presence of Love God’s Way, a Christian website that seeks to catalog every “gay band” they can find. And what a random, ill-informed, potentially libelous list they have! After the click-through, a musical line-up that’s even better than Coachalla.

One of the most dangerous ways homosexuality invades family life is through popular music. Parents should keep careful watch over their children’s listening habits, especially in this Internet Age of MP3 piracy.

The response is overwhelming. You guys know of a lot more Gay Bands than I do. I can’t keep up. Hopefully soon we’ll have it so you can add them by yourself.

Whaa? Ghostface? Jay-Z? Man Or Astroman? (They must have overheard the name of that last one wrong). And we’re not even going to try to stop our heads from spinning from that Sufjan reference. But it’s not all bad! The site also lists some “safe bands”:

We know that it can be difficult to differentiate what is good or bad for your child. With that in mind Love God’s Way has created this powerful tool to let you see some bands and entertainment that is safe for your children.

Safe Music:

* UnderOath

* Falling Up

* Flyleaf

* THE TURNING

* Disciple

* P.O.D

* By The Tree

* Scott Reed

* Michael W. Smith

* Jars of Clay

* DC Talk

Come on now, people: Flyleaf isn’t safe for anyone.
