American Idol’s Steven Tyler says he tried gay sex; Ted Nugent repulsed, but loving [video]

ABC reports that Aerosmith singer and American Idol judge Steven Tyler, 63,  has included a couple of gay-ish tidbits. He says his feelings are half male and half female, and he also says:

”Gay sex just doesn’t do it for me. I tried it one time when I was younger, but I just didn’t dig it.”

Separately, another ’70s rocker, Ted Nugent, spoke with Piers Morgan on CNN, and responded this way when asked what he’d say if one of his children said ”Dad, I’m gay:”

”I’d say ‘Get the gun. Let’s go kill a deer.’ Inconsequential…. I am repulsed at the concept at man-on-man sex. I think it’s against nature. I think it’s strange as hell. But if that’s what you are, I love you.”
