Songs for gay guys
8 Essential Gay Affectionate Songs
When it comes to love songs, pronouns matter! Many artists don’t include to think about this when they write their hits, but for homosexual men, the verdict of whether or not to comprise words that will let the audience know they’re crooning specifically for a male partner can be a tough one.
On one hand, it’s a reflection of who they are as a person and it’s honest. But on the other hand, in today’s overly-political climate, that preference might turn some off, stupid as that might be.
Here, we choose to highlight these tracks by brave musicians, as they remind us all that love is treasure is love.
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, here are eight love songs by men (and nonbinary artists) about men.
Sam Smith – “Him”
Smith avoided using specific pronouns on their debut album In The Lonely Hour, which may have helped tunes like “Stay With Me” become as massive as they did. The Grammy winner changed course on their sophomore set The Thrill Of It All, especially on the tune “Him.”

While Lauper didn’t actually write the lyrics herself, she told the Aussie TV show 60 Minutes that when she recorded the ballad, she was thinking about her friend Gregory Natal, who died from an AIDS-defining illness.
Years after the uplifting ballad hit No. 1 on the Hot 100, Lauper co-founded the True Colors Fund, a non-profit dedicated to ending homelessness for LGBTQ+ youth. So, crank up the volume and let your (and your guy’s) true colo

Good advice from Canada’s raunchiest sex sage. With the help of a Roland MC-505, the bisexual drama teacher–turned-rapper sparked a titillating new wave of sleazebag disco with her 2000 LP, Teaches of Peaches. Although “Fuck the Pain Away” was too risqué to chart, its memorable, braggadocious lines permeated everything from South Park to 30 Rock and 2003 film Lost In Translation: “Suckin’ on my titties favor you wanted me/Calling me all the time like Blondie/Check out my Chrissy behind/It’s fine all of the time.” It was reportedly Madonna’s favorite practice song, and she also featured it in her London play, Up For Grabs. In a 2003 interview with The Guardian, Peaches divulges that she sent Madonna and Guy Ritchie some autographed panties as thanks. “I signed some underwear,” she says, “I wrote, ‘Dear Guy, fuck ya later, devotion Peaches,’ and for Madonna I wrote, ‘Dear Madonna, fuck ya now, cherish Peaches.’ It’s cool.” –SE
