I know that this is NOT what the song is about at all, but I always personally interpreted it as this:
Every post-2001 gay guy has had the experience, especially in high school, of the straight guys making fun of them by not being mean, but by pretending that they're gay to get a reaction out of the guy and make his own friends laugh. Of course, most gay guys are smart enough to see through this charade and walk away, but I always see this song as the gay affirming his stance of never going out with someone who isn't "out" (ergo "does your mother know that you're out?")
Haha. I know, it's weird, but it's just my little spin :)
And yeah, I absolutely love this song. I cannot help singing and dancing along whenever it comes on and it is currently my favourite song of all time.
