Texas singer asks lesbian fans to not show affection at her shows A budding folk-rocker who also happens to be a
high school PE teacher has created a stir with an
Aug. 12 email to her fans. "I have had several complaints from bar owners, friends, fans, and potential fans regarding the outwardly show of affection that has taken place at my shows," writes
Michelle Mayfield. "This type of behavior, right or wrong, reflects on me as the artist who has brought you to that club...Please be respectful of the places where I am performing by being aware of the actions that can possibly turn potential fans away from my music or from my future shows." The resulting flap, and Mayfield's
apology, is made more interesting by questions about Mayfield's own sexual preference, which she called "no one's business in the first place."
