Over the Rainbow? Why is that a “gay” song? It may be many things, but a “gay” song? Mebbe I’m missing something...
Also, Copacabana is no different than a hundred other songs not on this list (Billy, Don’t be a Hero... Shannon... etc...). The difference, I guess, is the artist singing the song?
Angel of the Morning. That belongs on that list. I can’t remember who sang it though.
Really? I was wondering when that all started...
Was that Juice Newton?
I think it’s what the gays “latch on to” as a song they enjoy.
I must be straight, I’ve only heard 18 of these songs. Sadly, I kind of like 3-4 of them
She did a remake.
Oh yeah. Way gay.
“Never Let Me Down Again” by Depeche Mode has to be up there, too.
Yes.
From Wikipedia:
“Angel of the Morning” is a hit pop song, charting twice for two different American female artists. The tune was originally released in 1968 by the American singer Merrilee Rush and her band, the Turnabouts. A higher-charting (and larger-selling) version in the United States was released in 1981 by country-rock chanteuse Juice Newton.
Written and composed by New York-born songwriter Chip Taylor, it was originally recorded by Evie Sands for Cameo-Parkway Records in 1967, but the record label went bankrupt, stranding the song in limbo. A representative from publishing company April-Blackwood pitched the song to Memphis producer Chips Moman and Merrilee Rush, who then recorded and released it successfully the following year. P.P. Arnold also had a hit with it in the UK the same year. A further version is sung by Billie Davis. Mary Mason also had a UK Top 30 hit with her version (”Angel of the Morning - Any Way That You Want Me”) in 1977.
“Goodbye horses” by psyche — the song that buffalo bill disturbingly gyrated to in silence of the lambs.
“Tip toe through the tulips” always seemed pretty darned gay.

Thanks! I was looking it up, but you beat me to it.
No “Rough Boys” by Pete Townsend?
Can’t argue with this list at all. Every song on it is a certified nancy boy tune.
My daughters (7 & 12) love the Blue Man Group version of that song, with the chick from Venus Hum singing. It’s a great song.
Hand in glove
The sun shines out of our behinds
No, it's not like any other love
This one is different - because it's us
