No this isn't one of kimiiii's get-to-know-you questions. Share if you want but I'm not that interested. I'm asking about new wave artists. Come on, you've wondered too, but been afraid of the PC backlash you'd get for asking.
I've been told that only one member of Depeche Mode is gay, but what are we supposed to think with all that eyeliner and black leather? There are the obvious ones like Boy George and Pete Burns, but I want to know who's gay and who just dressed a bit androgynously because it was fashionable.
The guys in AFOS?
The Taylors from Duran Duran?
Curt & Roland from TFF?
Erasure? (Come on, they must be.)
Who's gay that I would never suspected? Or at least bi?
Come on! Let 'em out of the closet and set the record straight... so to speak.
Part two of my question is about gay themes in new wave songs. I've heard that "The Boy With the Thorn in His Side" and "Small Town Boy" are contain gay subject matter, but I've listened to those songs many times and I would never have caught it - even though I'd suspected or known about the performers.
Honestly, knowing one way or the other won't change my listening habits. I just want to understand where the artists are coming from.
Flame away if you must. (Oops - that sounds bad too!) But I'm just curious.

Michael Stipe from R.E.M. I didn't find this one out until around '93 when a gay guy tried to put the moves on me at a Suede concert. He felt it necessary to point out all the closet gay celebrities at the time. When I told him I was strait I got one o

"but what are we supposed to think with all that eyeliner and black leather?"
that's a pretty narrow criteria for homosexuality.

I heard the guys in AFOS are gay but not sure.
Duran Duran I don't know. Too bad if they are because they are missing out on a lot of hot groupies.
I heard in the past that Curt & Roland has/had wives (female) but who knows.
For Erasure, it's ob

I'm not sure but I think the Village People and Liberace may have been gay. And by gay I mean happy...
