Rob Halford has stated in interviews that he's been gay his whole life.I always thought he turned gay after a relationship with woman went sour because of all the misogony in their early songs like Cheater and Victim Of Changes.I wouldn't expect him to admit that if it's true.These lyrics really are homo erotic though.What's so wild is that Rob was thrusting it right down our throats(bad choice of words,lol.) and none of us got it.Damn were we blind.I was only 13 when I first heard this song and had no idea what he was singing about.I thought Fire Island was a drink.I realized what it was about years later,but even that wasn't until he admitted he was gay.It doesn't matter to me,listen to the guitar work in this song.Sin After Sin is one of their best damn albums,and Judas Priest influenced three generations of metal bands so Rob can be gay all he wants,just keep the metal coming and make it heavy.
I've been a fan for a very long time and I can tell you for certain the conversation about the likelihood of Rob being gay is one been going on for at least 30 years. It wasn't a surprise to anyone who was more than a part-time fan that Rob came out. That whole idea that it was an utter shock to their fans, is dead wrong. We've always known.

I would agree with you except for one small detail: Al Atkins, their original singer, wrote Victim of Changes, not Halford.
