I don't really give a shit about Jims sexuality, it bares absolutely no significance in the music he writes. He could be straight, gay, bi or have a tendancy for wild squirrels for my liking, I really don't care. And I'm fairly convinced most other Steinfans don't really give a shit either.

Just because some gay people have hi-jacked 2 of Jims best known songs 'Total Eclipse' and 'Holding Out For A Hero' and made them their anthems, with Bonnie Tyler and Nicki French dressing up as drag-queens at most Queerfests and churning out a badly re-mixed version of the songs, doesn't mean Jim wrote them with homosexuality in mind.
