Who year he is chatting to TMZ.
The thing about people saying that it was a gay anthem dealt with particularly my lyrics. Now, there's nothing in my lyrics that says anything about the illictitness that maybe some gay guys used when they went to the Y and performed and listen acts or sex or whatever.

This is why it kind of irks me when people decide to say that the song because of any thing that is in the lyrics, is making it a gay anthem.
