According to the TimesOnline on April 2, 2008, arts organizations in Britain applying for grants from the Arts Council "are being asked to state how many board members are bisexual, homosexual, heterosexual, lesbian or whose inclinations are 'not known.'" The reason for this, according to one Audrey Roy (director of grants for the Arts Council and sexual orientation unknown) is that they "see diversity as broader than race, ethnicity, faith and disability." So, too is imbecility.
Sexual deviants in the arts? Isn't that why they went into the Arts in the first place? What's the box going to read "Have Tried" and "Have Not Tried Yet"?
