  1. moire says:

    according to my data, “i want to break free” is much more gay-er than that.

    • Stefanie says:

      I would have to agree with Moire. “I Want To Break Free” is beyond the gayness of Backstreet Boys. Though they certainly do rank up there.

  2. tom says:

    I find this offensive. The whole “that’s gay” expression is offensive, and also irrelevant to this chart.

    • jess says:

      in reply, there’s no where that anyone is saying “that’s gay” but merely “that’s more homosexual” in a silly kind of way.

      if you’re offended, buck it. i don’t know a single gay guy/gal friend who wouldn’t find a slight chuckle at this chart. or even a single straight guy/gal friend who wouldn’t either ;)

  3. Jess says:

    i don’t know about the placement of ‘to break free’…have you ever seen the video for “I Want to Break Free”? it is pretty gay: transvestites, male dancers in skin-tight suits, and of course, Freddie Mercury, who was actually gay.

  4. Kristen says:

    Finally, a creative graph!

  5. ambrosecollector says:

    Yesssssss….heading out to the Baltimore Pride Festival in a couple hours. What appropriate timing.

  6. phantom_phairy says:

    Yeah it’s true…Freddy Mercury was out way longer than George Michael
    And just a *tad* more flamboyant
    And the makers aren’t using gay as slang, they mean it literally
    (except in the case of, say 4/5 Backstreet Boys, and that’s purely for humor)

  7. faux_pseudo says:

    To get more gay you have to go to “I wanna” “wanna be high, so high

    Great graph.

  8. Eirian says:

    Right. Because gayness is so clearly defined and not drinking beer makes your penis fall off.

    • Zaranai says:

      Like phantom_phairy said right above your comment – except for four of the Backstreet Boys, this graph is true. The artists behind all the song references are gay/bi/straight and are aligned on the graph the same way.

      I’m gay myself (though a chick, so I don’t have a penis to have fall off) and thought this chart was hilarious. Oh, and I use “that’s so gay” when I’m not paying attention enough to say straight instead. Zomgspaz, I’m so politically incorrect! I’m going to hell harder now!

  9. boom says:

    I like the broad appeal of “I want your sex”, but “I want to break free” surely deserves a position further –> “that way”. Surely!

  10. Sjón Refur says:

    I can’t listen to “I Want to Break Free” without 1. thinking about the amazing Killing My Lobster sketch ( http://www.killingmylobster.com/content/view/465/50/ ) and 2. thinking about Cromartie High ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fh_GwrGdbzM ).

  11. Jazz says:

    I saw “one bourbon, one scotch, and one beer” and was reminded of the Brobdingnagian Bards’ Jedi Drinking Song. It’s awesome (non-gulliverians, copy and paste to google – I know them personally and I still have to work to type it).

  12. James Stein says:

    Many points for having the good taste to know Thorogood songs.

  13. hi
    1yecbyeg25grukel
    good luck

  14. Shannon says:

    I’m gay.

    This graph is not offensive.

    It’s goddamn brilliant. lol.
    :)
