[edit] Old talk

This page would have a slew more legitimacy and credibility if some evidence was noted regarding why these songs should or are considered gay anthems.

For example,

  • "It's Raining Men" gained wide recognition as a gay anthem (assuming it didn't beforehand) from its use in the "Men On Film" recurring sketch on In Living Color.

That's when it became known to the general public as a gay anthem, years after it lost favor in gay clubs. Davodd 03:42, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Is Thalía's A quién le importa a cover of the earlier hit by Alaska?--Error 20:55, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)


"Body Talk" by Imagination. Just a classic anywhere and for everyone, but dragged into the Gay genre by being sexualised and hightened by the camp overacting by the bad themselves.

[edit] Verification

This article has some severe verification problems. I know little about "gay anthems", but it seems people can (and are) adding whatever song pops into their head. I think this is the sort of article that is better treated as an article (with a few examples given in the text), rather than a list . -R. fiend 16:01, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Original research moved from article

Until we have sources to cite to verify these, it is best we not clutter up the article with this controversial list.
