Zazou, are you crazy?

Which lyrics exactly makes any of West End Girls, Domino Dancing, Left To My Own Devices, Numb, Minimal, Home And Dry, Integral or Minimal gay at all (not talking about too gay)?

PS And I'm a happily married man, to avoid any misunderstandings.

How is this "a really gay song" by any stretch of the imagination?

In the Night (just cool, kinda gay)

How is this a "kinda gay" song?

Opportunities (beauty and the geek anyone?)inspired by midnight cowboy which is also gay

How is this a "gay" track?

PSB really went "gay" after working with Liza, still just about anything pre was it worth it minus, minus rent, later tonight, nervously.

Rent is about a woman. The other two tracks have obvious subtexts but intringuingly also support heterosexual readings (see below).

Really tho, aren't you being dishonest by portraying PSB as a virile heterosexual techno pop duo?

Sure. But it's equally dishonest to portray them as a "gay band" and they've both been on record multiple times criticizing the tendency to catalog themselves as anything but a universal band for everyone.

Fugative or Integral
