    Scissor Sisters, Daft Punk, Indigo Girls, Kylie Minogue, Cher, Madonna, Savage Garden, and I think Death Cab for Cutie sounds pretty gay. :lol:

    But seriously, Savage Garden gets my vote for gayest 90's music ever.

    I'm wondering if maybe you could re phrase the question. What qualifies as "gay themed music"? Music, like all other arts, never has one meaning or theme. When you hear a song it means what you feel it means, it also means what I feel it means, and it means what everyone else feels that it means to them. I only mean that any song could be considered "gay themed music" it just depends how you look at it.

    I always thought of "Building a Mystery" by Sarah McLachlan as being a song about how difficult it is to be in the closet.

    Sarah herself explained the song as being "basically about the fact that we all... have insecurities to hide, and we often do that by putting on a facade." (Wiki)

    As in songs or artists with gay themed songs or undertones like "it's ok to be gay" by tomboy and stuff that just says gay period no matter who's taste or what the lyrics or the official videos have gay stuff in them ...

    Away from the obvious ridiculously camp, female pop singers, i think these sound pretty gay:

    "gay themed music" to me means songs about gay issues which, for the most part, are performed by gay artists.

    Three groups that come to mind offhand:

    Pansy Division -- rock bordering on alternative/punk from the 1980s. They were a gay group that toured for a while.

    The Flirtations -- wonderful acapella group from the 1980s and early 90s that did all gay-themed music, often well-known songs with lyrics rewritten to gay themes. Really talented, really funny.

    Sweet Honey in the Rock -- another amazing acapella group that has done a lot of gay-positive songs (and has several lesbian members)

    I found this recently on youtube, its not so much 'gay-themed' but rather in a 'in your face', 'out there' kind of way :lol:. Warning: it does contain some rather colourful language.

    I'll leave you to make out what the unambiguous lyrics are.
