I saw another thread talking about Marvin Hamlisch's "They're Playing My Song", this lead me to watch the video and then Google Marvin Hamlisch. According to his wiki page he was straight, I had assumed he was gay. So I nosed around to some other popular Broadway figures and they are also straight.
Can someone please suggest a book or web source that talks specifically about the contribution LGBT have made to the industry. Does such a source exist?

Audience-wise?
Not on your Nelly.

TOTALLY STRAIGHT! Only a deluded fag would think otherwise.

On a related note, always amazes that there is as many (or indeed any) straight male ballet dancers as there so evidently appears to be.

There is no material nowhere nohow about homosexuals and the history of Broadway.

I'm genuinely interested in this, if anybody has a moment.

R5 I'm sorry. I hate when I ask something here earnestly and people just make fun of me and post stupid sarcastic things. If you don't know, just don't answer.

OP, I have also tried to go down this road, and I do not think that there is a book for this. There are a couple of books from the gay consumer's perspective, like D.A. Miller's "A Place for Us" and Clum's "Something for the Boys", but not from the industry perspective. Not that I was able to find anyway. I think this just reflects the reality that Broadway is not necessarily dominated by a gay creative agenda. My takeaway was that a Broadway show is such a complex and large collaborative undertaking that statistics naturally work against having a majority of gay creative and performance personnel.

I wonder, though, without having any personal experience, if it is community theater that actually might be the super gay one.
