THE 50 BT GAY SONGS TO CELEBRATE PRI ALL YEAR LONG

Some of the songs were nsired que progrsive durg the time they were released, when homosexualy was nsired a mental illns and crossdrsg was illegal.

Mad About The Boy – Dah Washgton – Origally wrten by Noël Coward 1932 for mil revue Words and Mic, the song has a hidn gay meang. The msage behd this versn is that cema un all, and you n maybe even extend that to beg acceptg of other people, that gay or straight, we’re really not that different after all.

THE GAY ARCHECTS OF ROCK

Noël Coward even wrote vers supposed to be sung by a bsman who is eher gay or bisexual about beg “mad about the boy” – ‘When I told my wife, she said “I’ve never heard such nonsense my life!

Noël Coward was really secretive about his sexualy bee those days, society was really homophobic and he feared losg everythg if he me out. So he didn’t like the song beg a gay anthem, but once you release a song, ’s out there and people n terpret as they wish. “Let me tell you about a place somewhere up a New York way, where the people are so gay” – sure gay at that time meant happy, but let have this one!

THE RISE AND FALL OF JOBRIATH, ROCK’S FIRST OPENLY GAY STAR

One more though mak pecially sound like a gay song “Here’s a fella blue jeans dancg wh an olr queen who’s dolled up her diamond rgs and twistg the night away”. Sally Go Round the Ros – The Jayts – One terpretatn of this song is that Sally is gay and she is upset that her csh is gog wh another girl.

While didn’t happen on their stud versn of the Bo Diddley song, happened durg a live performance for the BBC on Christmas Eve 1964, years before homosexualy was legalised the UK. Still, people have terpreted as havg a gay theme sce he mentned that an terview when the song me out and even mentned that he would be gay if he wasn’t wh his wife.

THE 13 GAYT MIC VIOS OF THE '80S

You’ve Got to Hi Your Love Away – The Beatl – One terpretatn of this song is that ’s about their manager Brian Epste, who was gay, but hid public. Alone Aga Or – Love – Not officially a “gay” song, but a iend of me said take a look at this lyric, ’s a bisexual anthem! Not only do he have a boy csh on David Watts, David Watts is gay, scribed the song as “so gay and fancy ee” and that “all the girls the neighbourhood try to go out wh David Watts… but n’t succeed.

In this song, “Grey” is a guy who works an ordary 9-5 job and liv a heterosexual life, but sudnly realis that isn’t right for him and his gay si out. She’s a Rabow – The Rollg Ston – Not a gay song per se, but ’s the song that was the spiratn behd the OG Rabow Pri flag, acrdg to the creator himself, Gilbert Baker.

One of my iends and a fan of the blog said that this classic rock rad staple and standard uld have some homoerotic unrton bee the song is performed as a duet between two men: Jack Bce and Eric Clapton and that same year same sex activy between men was crimalised. We Love You – The Rollg Ston (wh John Lennon and Pl McCartney on backg vols) – The song self isn’t gay per se, but the mic vio is and ’s one that picts a very sad moment gay history and the timg of the song and mic vio’s release is signifint.
