In my country we have a rather common saying that goes something like "It is no use arguing over tastes", which people usually invoke when someone challenges their likes or dislikes.
To me, musical preferences have nothing to do with sexual orientation. I think that if someone insults you for your choice of music, they do that in order to argue with you or to try to belittle you by insulting your idols. So the music is not at fault, just that the person picking on you is jumping on the whatever he/she can find. Or that is my belief anyway.

Thank you for the answers.

Calling someone gay for any reason shows lack of imagination. Calling someone 同性戀者, now that takes imagination!

Meh, they used to do this all the time as most of my favorite genres are rather diverse. If they don't like what I like and deem it appropriate to say as much rudely I just tell em to take my earphones out of their ears or get out of the car.

I think if you're a 30 years old man and you listen to Justin Beiber's Boyfriend music, you do have a problem...

Someone did call me gay once but I killed him dead & he didn't do it again. Although as he died he said 'I've been killed by a gay urrrggghhh' which I thought was a little inappropriate. I couldn't believe he had the bare face cheek to call me gay on his death bed. I think I've got away with it as it was a few years ago now, but whenever I hear The Pet Shop Boys it always reminds me of that C**T!

I don't think there is any real justification in calling someone 'Gay' for liking a particular kind of music, but indeed it happens quite often. It's the "fall-back" retort to something someone doesn't agree with. I have, too, dealt with people who, when I mention that I like musical groups like Freezepop, Schnuffel, and Enya, they look incredulous and immediately question my sexuality (they're only half right).
Besides, with something as subjective as music, it boggles my mind when I comment off-hand that I don't like Elvis, The Beatles, or Pin Floyd, people gawk and ask if I'm insane. No, and I understand why they are popular. They are good musicians and groups, but they aren't to my taste. Same goes for television shows, books, movies, and food...People need to learn to deal with that insecurity of theirs...

people do it to me to this day for listening to stuff like kelly clarkson, nicki minaj stuff like that i just laugh at the feeble minded accusers and wonder if they are inbred from time to time. It helps me laugh at them lol.

what is this ?

Nope.
But was called a moron cause I grew up when reggae could only be gotten via the trojan label by post in the UK.....yup early 70's until Chris Blackwell got Bob Marley on Island records.....that was a game changer and the moron label was dropped as everyone loved Bob.
And just for the hell of it I is gonna get me a spliff and a cold beer then listen to the album Catch a Fire.
