YOU'RE SO GAY/ YOU PROBABLY THINK THEIR SONGS ARE ABOUT YOU!/ DON'T YOU?! DON'T YOU?!
We are gay pop star fans in a gay cyberspace community and have created this FABulous gay (GLBT) Pet Shop Boys discussion group. Hetero supporters of gay rights are also wlecome! This group is for the discussion of Pet Shop Boys art and music and its impact on our lives, with a slant toward the queer eye on culture. And of course please cruise the profiles-- what could be gayer than that?
"I could spend several pages discussing 'gay culture,' but for the sake of argument we have contributed a lot. And the simple reason for this is that I have written songs from that point of view. What I'm saying is that I'm gay, and I have written songs from that point of view."- Neil Tennant
Now that's the spirit, Neil, GO FOR IT! Now, let us Petheads discuss the Boys: Neil Tennant, Chris Lowe, and all the other major and minor characters in our own little gay cyber-gettho! Have fun splitting atoms and hairs about gay music and art!
