first off: love the song... the acoustic version off the sony connect ep is amazing (along with the rest of the tracks on it). highly recommend getting a hold of it if you haven't.
second: everyone pretty much has the meaning down as far as the song goes, but i too think it's ridiculous that anyone still really debates kevin's sexuality. if you wanna go way back to cherry peel the track "tim i wish you were born a girl" is evidence of that. mind you it pushes the boundries of sexuality (like kevin HAS and probably will continue to do), but seriously... if he were gay he wouldn't have to wish that a guy he finds attractive were a girl.
finally: the new songs. skeletal lamping is a concept album that centers around kevin's onstage persona georgie fruit. georgie is in many ways similar to david bowie's ziggy stardust and if you don't understand the connection i'm making here you really need to run to a record store or go on itunes and buy some bowie. georgie's story is all over the internet if you want to do research. also... this is what kevin had to say about the album being gay: "What I was trying to do was create this idealistic human consciousness where anything goes and there are no restrictions and no boundaries."
