I love the gays - a 'gaydactic' analysis...

first of all, listen closely to Mandy Steckelberg's song "I love the gays"





and now see what comes out after focusing on the most interesting lines (for us girls).

# 1) "...to see the Indigo Girls, surrounded by beautiful ladies,
at least I think they were ladies..."
Let's see, what can be concluded from that? Lezzies love the Indigo Girls and sometimes look, ummm, not so lady-like...but still: yeah, we're all richly rewarded with beauty...er...

# 2) "they screamed full-throated and hearty,
and I looked around at their ecstatic faces,
I thought, 'man, these bitches really know how to party.'"
I deduce: IN CASE the lesbians love the music they're listening to, they love to party and get really, well, "excited"!? ...which is kind of an understatement since "ecstatic" in the Merriam Webster's dictionary says the following: "a state of being beyond reason and self-control" or "a state of rapturous delight" which reminded me of, hmm well...something else actually...
I couldn't help it but suddenly there popped up this picture in my mind of a 'heartily' screaming all-women audience (er, scary!) attending an Indigo Girls concert everyone being "in a state of rapturous delight" ............... "OMG NO! don't go on thinking...!!" Most logically, this very situation can only occur, of course, if there's a girl group playing!
Lastly, she refers to lesbians as "bitches"...which I generally like to interpret as a compliment ;-)

# 3) "If there were no gays (...)there’d be no women’s basketball"
Such a statement is generally not incorrect! Yet, it's not as true as the night is dark. Mandy might as well have sung: "If there were no gays, there'd be a total oversupply of tight pants" But then...there are too many syllables to fit in that line.

# 4) "(...) the gay republicans, I think they are social retards"
Hell yes! So true, so true! Isn't a "gay republican" an oxymoron???

# 5) "and if I have children I hope and pray, someday they grow to be good and gay,
and if I were president, I'd make every day a homo apreciation celebration day"
Let's draw some attention to the words: "children that grow up to be good and gay." Well, that is a nice alliteration for once, is it not?! I bet some conservative musician will soon work in something with "straight and great"...there ya go!
Plus, isn't it ironic that "pray" rhymes with "gay"? But maybe that's just me thinking it... Anyway, "gay" does, thankfully, also rhyme with "day" cuz otherwise this little political pun wouldn't have been possible...go for president, missy, I'd definitely vote for you!!

After all, it's a very cool song! A little dependent on stereotypes but that's how popular culture works, isn't it?

p.s. who are the Indigo Girls?
