Like other users, I too interpret this song as a reminder that homosexuals exist. So many closed-minded people walk with a hot head and a pole stuck up their butt when it comes to "accepting" gays in our society. After listening to this song over 100 times, what lyrically grabbed my attention the most is how Win holds the "s" in "this" when he sings, "It's cause we do it like thissssssssssss." Many homosexuals are criticized and harshly laughed at for stressing their "Ssss" in sentences and I notice Win alludes to such behavior in his performances. On the SNL AF Special Win dramatically holds his hand in front of him while holding the "s;" at the LA Halloween show Win made a point to announce something like, "Can we just legalize gay marriage already or what?" Subliminally or not, I think Win acted these ways for a reason (unless he simply put his hand up because he is a Reflektor Rock and Roll God).
Indeed, this song reminds us that brainwashed people can get down on their knees and pray all they want to their picture-perfect god that gays don't exist and that gays are confused but it won't change who they are-- people are who they are. By the end of the song the message, to me, tells us that our society won't get very far unless we make the changes in our heart to be accepting towards everyone, gay or not. Be yourself and other individuals who aren't ok with another's sexuality can stare all they want... because we all exist equally.
