FRANK SATRA: I ED TO VIS ALL THE GAY PLAC…

While Satra certaly knew his share of tabloid gossip and ever-prent fame, one glarg difference was that 1990, Michael hadn’t yet e out as gay. BTW (and you are all probably aware of this already), at the time this song was wrten by the homosexual poser Strayhorn, the word gay generally meant happy, not homosexual.

And while Strayhorn might not have tend “Lh Life” to be about the gay experience, don’t take much effort to terpret the song that way. Gay Tale’s groundbreakg profile, “Frank Satra has a Cold”, was reported 1965 and published by Esquire 1966.
