These should be sorted, either by band or song title. Any thoughts? func(talk) 03:00, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

I think it's fine alphabetically, to me that would be a definition of sorted :P Woldo 12:03, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rammstein

Out of the three Rammstein songs listed here, only one should be here. Buck Dich is about sodomy, which may or may not be homosexual-related. Spiel Mit Mir is about incest. And Mann Gegen Man is perfect where it is. :P Thankyou..:Stirb Nicht Vor Mir:. 13:08, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Questionable?

I know that Paul Lekakis is a homosexual, but having just reviewed the lyrics to his song "Boom Boom Boom (Let's Go Back to My Room)" I find no real indication of gender or sexual preference about the songs. It's about sex, yes, but gender is really not implied. I am removing it from the list. Pacian 21:30, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

1) "I Am What I Am" although used as a gay anthem now is not about homosexuality, its from La Cage Aux Folles and its the character Albin singing that he cant pretend to be someone he's not and that theatrics are part of him, and he cant surpress them to impress a conservative visiting family.

La Cage aux Folles is itself about homosexuality though (it is pretty obvious what he is referring to when the character is discussing this "theatricality") also the line "I am as Good As You" is a fairly obvious reference to the famous acronym. The allusion (IMHO) is strong enough to warrant the inclusion of the song on this list anyway. Intesvensk 21:27, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

2) Is "Take Your Mama" by Scissor Sisters a gay song? There's nothing in it about being gay or anything, but there are lyrics in it about watching the girls, and a girlfriend having left etc.

3)And "I Want To Break Free" doesnt hint at anything, its a song about failing/lost love. The only thing that could be considered a "hint" is the music video, which had different things in it aside the famous drag bits which were just done in fun, including Freddie rolling along nearly naked women.

4) Freddie Mercury may have been gay, but nothing in Bohemian Rhapsody makes any specific reference to homosexuality. The meaning(s) of the song remain debated and unclear.

2) It's about a gay boy watching the girls who he doesn't fancy and coming out to his mother. The band even says so. It's unambigous anyway.

When did the band ever say that?!— miketm - Queen WikiProject - 00:37, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

3) Err, I'm pretty sure it's about the desire to come out the closet. To break free from the lie. ~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 16:26, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

5) "Queer" by Garbage makes no reference to homosexuality whatsoever.
