What....... I didn't think this would be polarizing at all.

Nah, this doesn't surprise me too much as a high SD. The only real surprise that it's not a song like "Groove" or "Lady Marmalade" as the highest SD instead.
This is great, and it's also a little higher than I expected.

This was my favorite discovery of the Rankdown. When I did this Rankdown, I didn't really know this song much at all, but now I like it a lot, and if I redid the Rankdown, it would have been in my top 10 for sure.

I'm shocked I didn't rank this a little higher. I like "Boys Keep Swinging" a lot, but more than this?
looks at one of the bottom tens in particular, then looks at my last bottom ten

GAY|69 We just lost 4 #1 with those two reveals. It's definitely too early for the #1s to start dropping considering we're only at #28 in a 69-song rankdown but here we are. There is another #1 loss coming up but not until after this next reveal, where the highest rank is #6 and no one put it in their bottom 10.

Well, I expected this to be in the top 20.
I love Dolly, but I've never particularly cared for "9 to 5".

GAY|69 Next is a fairly recent song - and probably the newest song to be revealed in quite a while. We also lose another #1 with this.

I was not expecting to come close to a perfecto here.

Pleasantly surprised, and I did think myself that this would go in the top 10. I don't hate it as much as I used to in the past now, but she has way better singles than this IMO.

Just like with Dolly, I love Cyndi, but I've never really cared for this. Well, I expected this to be in the top 20. I came into this set with three songs around this range. If the other song in this range doesn't make the top 20, it would be literally unbelievable.

GAY|69 I expect that's all I'll have time for today. The next batch includes songs from nearly every decade for the last 50 years, however it won't include any #1 losses so the rest of us are safe for a bit, but after that, they start dropping like flies. Fun fact: only four songs received more than one #1 rank, and two of those received three - which is the most. One was Smalltown Boy, the other is still to come.

Ariana's not gay from what i've read & those lyrics don't seem remotely gay either...i just don't get YOUR gay culture at all...MY gay culture is all about kissing cute guys (among other activities)

I also read various articles and sites before putting this list together and for some reason Into You came up an odd amount. I donβt care for it personally but in an effort to include more recent songs, this was one that seemed to be a shoo-in.

"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" rides that line between perfectly sweetened and annoying, but more often falls into the latter category

#30. Bronski Beat - Smalltown BoyNot an expert on gayness but I'm pretty sure many gays can identify with the lyrics here? If it's not glittery enough tuff beans, but I think its a little deeper than just glitz. You would think this would have been at least top 5. #29. Erasure - A Little RespectAnother 80's synthpop classic that didn't get the respect it should on this RD. #28. Dolly Parton - 9 To 5I know everyone loves Dolly Parton, but one this song has 0 gay vibe, unless there lies a masked meaning behind the lyrics that I didn't get, and two Dolly isn't even gay. In fact she does everything in her powers to get men to notice her. #27. Ariana Grande - Into YouThis must be about the glitz? BTW Ariana is hot, and I know she isn't gay. Maybe she experimented, but I wouldn't know cause I don't follow her social media and stuff. I just don't care for her musically nor vocally. #26. Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have FunAt least she beat Ariana. but I'm just as confused about the gay themes these songs masked. I feel this is more about girls being young. Just enjoying life and not taking it too serious. I know chicks sometimes fool around with each other when they had too much to drink, but I don't think the song was about that?

I'm putting together a list of songs that make a gay heart smile. Many of these are classic gay anthems but some of them are songs the gay community has adopted because they speak about self-confidence, self-ownership, taking back control, or they're just really f**king campy and we love camp!
