Which Bowie songs do you guys think deals with the topic of homosexuality?

Explain why you think that in case it's not obvious
>>
youve got your mother in a whirl, shes not sure if your a boy or a girl
>>
>>61786630
Rebel rebel is about a transvestite/transexual, close but not exactly just gay
>>
Wasn't there a rumour he fucked with Mick Jagger?
>>
>>61786729
wasn't a rumour
>>
>>61786737
They denied it, butthurt ex-wife spread the rumour. I don't doubt it is true but it really is just a rumour at this point.

enjoy, you fag
>>
>>61786794
Could you elaborate on that?
Specially We Are The Dead
>>
>>61786815
just look up the lyrics for the songs.
they sound very suspect

but i know for certain that Velvet Goldmine is about a male groupie that wants Ziggy to fuck him
>>
None really comes to my mind. A lot of people would say John I'm Only Dancing, but even though there's definely some faggotry on the sound there, I had a totally different interpretation of the lyrics.

Queen Bitch is arguably about it, transvestism at least
>>
The Width of a Circle, definitely.
>>
>>61787131
This.
>>
Jean Genie
>>
>>61787078
Queen Bitch is definitely about a gay guy losing his (ex?)boyfriend to a transvestite or at least to some really effeminated gay man, I don't see any other way of interpreting this one
>>61787468
Why?

Yeah the films pretty gay
>>
>>61787778
>based MacGregor and based Bale fucking on a rooftop
>gay
>>
>>61787792
You're right it's totally not gay but yeah it's a decent film
>>
>>61787778
Bowie really disliked this film though
>>
Cracked Actor is very blatantly about fucking a rentboy
>>
>>61786852
English isn't my native language and I find Velvet Goldmine to be indecipherable. What is he talking about? Why is it gay? What the fuck is a Velvet Goldmine?
>>
>>61788216
>I had to ravish your capsule, suck you dry
bowie is sucking a dick

>Feel the teeth in your bone, heal ya head with my own
now they're sucking each other off

>Snake it, take it, panther princess you must stay
snake his dick into the butt

it used to be thought the 'velvet goldmine' was an asshole but that was debunked
i take it to mean that this lad is a source of comfort to bowie - soft and sweet like velvet
>>
>>61788315
that's pretty gay, bowie
also I heard somewhere that Velvet Goldmine coulbe be a slang for a man's mouth
>>

Ok, maybe not the entire song, but
>When you're a boy
>other boys check you out
>>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=louXPUW7tHU
Also not the entire song, but
>A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
>and a queer threw up at the sight of that
Any thoughts on that? Is it a take on police violence against ''queers''?
>>
>>61786694
What? No it's not.
>>
>>61786852
>just look up the lyrics for the songs.
>they sound very suspect
It's just 1984.
>>
>>61787076
This. Good song too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VrqCBsbeuc

Life on Mars?
>It's a god-awful small affair to the girl with the mousy hair
>But her mother is yelling no, and her daddy has told her to go
Can be interpreted as a failed coming-out
>>
>>61788033
That's just because it wasn't very flattering, and called him out for stealing other people's styles. I still think it's a great film, and that Bowie is based af.

I don't think so...
>>
>>61790091
Well, why not? The reactions from the parents would be common in some places for their daughter to be coming out as gay.
>>
>>61787645
you just know

>>61790201
That's pretty vague man, could be anything...
>>
>>61786852
Thats my favorite Bowie song
>>
>>61790991
Well, yeah, but that doesn't mean my interpretation is wrong either.
>>
What about a new Bowie meme, amigos?

Blackstar.

It's about male butt holes.
