Good lord! Are people really so crazy and ignorant that they will go to great, proposterous lengths to prove a song that has absolutely nothing to do with sexuality is about sexuality, just because the singer is "gay"? Michael Stipe isn't even gay (he's bi), but that's beside the point. Even if he was gay, it's still ridiculous to think every song a gay singer's ever sung is about being gay. Does that mean every song a straight man sings is about being straight? And since when does the term "gentlemen", which isn't even used in this song, but is instead used in "Boxcars" (another song not about sexuality, actually about the movie "Elephant Man" according to the band themselves) have anything to do with homosexuality? Plain idiocy. Some people are just so stupid and discriminatory it makes me sick.

You can't be too judgemental on a species that has since time immimorial used discrimination, fear and violence as a feature of existence. I understand your frustration, but you're just playing right into their neolithic hands
