It's about being gay in the 20th century when it was still considered a taboo and shameful thing to be. The lyrics so perfectly capture the agonizing pain of the homosexual while at the same time shattering the age old myths that being gay is a sin.
Today, in the positive gay friendly 2010's, this song is rendered irrelevant and moot, and a historical artifact. But to those of us who listened to this in the 1990's, it packed a very powerful punch and was a beacon of light in the darkness of the time.
@chris330r it has always been relevant to people growing up in certain religions. Now, here we are in 2024 and with all the attacks on LGBT from the Republicans it is no longer irrelevant and moot.
