What would the reaction be to a song about gay love?

Was just listening to Scissor Sisters, who are probably the most gay current band, which led me thinking to all the fine homosexual musicians who have written songs about heterosexual love...

I cannot think of a single song that is overtly about gay love - is it just not acceptable?

Surely many of the love songs written by artists who happen to be gay, are gay love songs? Notably George Michael, Elton John, etc...?

Yes, but none are overt. There are also lots of songs written about women by gay men - Queen with songs like 'Fat Bottomed Girls' or Laura by Scissor Sisters.

Placebo are just awful. They have no redeeming qualities.

I can agree with that, although I must adimt that their first album has an enduring place in my heart if only due to the amount of times I listened to it as a teenager
