“If you look at the history of pop music, love songs have predominantly come from one heterosexual perspective. If we view music as something that brings people together, shouldn’t these popular songs be open to everyone?” – Tom Murphy, a co-producer of “Universal Love.”

Shortly after the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in 2015, Justice Antonin Scalia attended a party where he signaled his displeasure by singing Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are a-Changin’.”

“He sang with great verve,” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told The Washington Post at the time.

Now Mr. Dylan himself is crooning about same-sex love. As part of a new EP called “Universal Love,” he rerecorded the 1929 song “She’s Funny That Way,” from the Great American Songbook catalog, but switched the pronoun to “He’s Funny That Way.”

Seven years ago I posted the very first item here (Survey Focuses on Treatment of Long-Term Care for LGBT Elders). I was a mere 52 years old, a kid with a vision: to create and sustain an online space for the over-50 LGBTQ audience and our friends and allies.
