Pity I couldn't fit Pet Shop Boys in there... I used to love 'Nervously' when I was a young man thinking through this stuff... sort of the corollary to 'Smalltown Boy'. But I'd probably just go with 'Left to my Own Devices' or something. :)
Haha... I remember trying to get friends of mine at school (who're now in dub and hip-hop acts) to listen to Pet Shop Boys and they all gave me soooo much shit. Oh well.

i like 'So Hard' - not a out and out gay song, but a bloody bloody good one. they walk a fine line between self-aware cheese and grim, dark overdriving well-controlled nasty noise.

R.E.M - all these great saccharine tunes full of love and lust, and then all these other great tunes full of 'no i don't want to say whether i'm gay or straight or bi, go away and leave me alone you stupid media circus etc'.
'Walk Unafraid' the album "Up" - good sense of being shitscared of society beating you up for being slightly different and spending your whole life being sick to the soul of having to fit inside a weird arbitrary pigeon-hole category ... etc ...

I was told it was to do with skinny dipping with other guys - I took it as a reminiscence on that. Lines like "you can't see me naked" and the bits about not judging being about skinny dipping but also nervousness about being seen as faggy. Or something. I don't think Stipe lyrics are exactly texts for close reading or something. :)

it was always about nostalgia and losing youth to me. seems to be about summers long ago, before responsibility came along. and losing friends you knew when you were 16. didn't think it was much about danglers floating in the water.
Heh, I could well be misinformed. :)...

I know Nightswimming was about skinny dipping, but I don't think it is necessarily a "gay" song - there may have been girls with Mike and co! Then again, there weren't any chicks in the video...
I too have thought it;s a song about nostalgia and yearning for innocent times. It is one of my favourite songs, and one of Stipes's best lyrics. Then again, Automatic For The People is my favourite album of the 1990s.

i dont mind elton Johns music as a whole and i do admit he has alot of classics (Rocket Man, Saturday nights alright (for fighting)) But ive noticed that he solely directs his songs to singing about Romantic encounters with men. And yes ive noticed George Michael doing the same.

What's funny is that I Want To Break Free was written by the band's bassist, John Deacon - who is not gay. Some of the most sexually ambiguous Queen songs were written by Freddie, especially early in the band's career, and on their brilliant second album Queen II - sample lyric: "Put me in the cellar with the naughty boys".
