[edit] Naming Issue (LGBT anthem vs gay anthem)

I know people are trying to group everything under the LGBT classification for ease of use and access, but I have never heard anybody call a gay anthem a LGBT anthem. I think this name was probably just made up for this article so that it could fit in with the LGBT categories. A quick google search gives 138 results for "LGBT anthem"[1] and 20,400 results for "gay anthem"[2]. While a Google search isn't definitive, a difference in two orders of magnitude is striking.

I agree. The term is "gay anthem" just like "gay bashing" or "gay bar" are not "LGBT bashing" or "LGBT bar." - Davodd 19:56, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
