How many gay love songs can you list compared to the number of straight love songs.
It's not like gay people dont write music. But for some reason even gay people like Elton john write love songs just for the opposite sex. And if its about same sex love, it's usually subtextual rather than overt. I guess it's because straight people would rather hear love songs about straight relationships, but even so I'd have thought there would be more gay songs --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. ...

I dont mean songs like dancing queen that are popular with gays, btw. I mean love songs about love where the singer is singing about somebody of the same sex.

because most relationships in the world are straight
and most people want to hear songs that they feel they can relate to, thats what makes it mainstream and popular listening to a song about two gay guys is unrelatable to a mass audience --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm surprised it hasn't been pounced upon by record labels yet. If a big gay singer fills in the void and makes a good gay love song, I guarantee the gay crowd will lap that shit up, which would mean tons of money. And if it's a big hit in gay culture, it'll also get at least some attention from straight people by osmosis.

About 5-10% of people are homosexual, which leaves 90-95% who are not. That's roughly on par with the left-handed market, which is also largely ignored.

Honestly, that's slowly changing.
We're seeing more and more singers come out as gay. Troye Sivan and Kiyoko are two prominent artists right now who sing about queer love. --- Playing now: Gravity Rush ... Copied to Clipboard!

Why arent there enough gay songs in this thread? This is incredibly racist and it's not a gay song. Just because some gay people decided they wanted to make YMCA a hook up place does not mean that's what this song is about. It's about empowering black youth. --- Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' ... Copied to Clipboard!

And if it's a big hit in gay culture, it'll also get at least some attention from straight people by osmosis. That's the problem. The gay population is 1% of the population. It's better to make a song and leave it a little ambiguous so that anyone can relate to it. Not to make it exclusive to a very niche crowd. I mean just do what Lady Gaga did. THAT worked and she rolled in the money. At the end of the day, money matters and that means appealing to the most people. --- Green Bay Packers: 2-2-1 Go Pack Go!! ... Copied to Clipboard!

In fact, I think IIRC, Alejandro was about a gay relationship and as big as Gaga was at the time, that song wasn't so big. Take Born this way though... While we all probably know that's about LGBT, she left it ambiguous enough so that anyone can relate and that song was huge. That's the answer to your question TC
