The smiths gay

That’s not really a Smiths thing - they’re too busy creature mopey.

Mopey = same-sex attracted & emo.

Gays adore to dance and take E.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

EVERYONE loves to dance & take E…they just don’t know it yet.

As for this whol Morrissey/Smiths and the fans are gay thing…I reflect you’re all getting gay mixed up with homosexuality.

One of my friends who is the biggest Smiths fan I’ve ever some across is gay, or at least was gay. He started seeing a young woman a year or two ago and he has been going with her ever since. Regardless he loved The Smiths when he was into “swordfights” and all that. He also loves The Pixies. There is a male lover following for The Smiths alright but they’re not conspicuously gay.

That is the coolest friggin em-over I’ve ever seen on an em-u!

The genres that highlight the largest element of gay fans are noise, metal and industrial music…they just tend to be closet gays so go under the ra(gay)dar.

At least the Smiths and House fans can admit they’re gay…unlike Ministry, Pantera, Slayer and of course Black Metal fans. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

There is a gay following fo

One would imagine that, at age 60, Morrissey — Brit-pop’s patron saint of all things smartly smarmy, sexually obsessive, slyly sensitive and dramatic — might hold tamed his theatrical side and tamped down his impulse to provoke his devoted audiences.

And yet on the stages of Camden’s BB&T Pavilion on Monday nighttime, Morrissey — divine since fronting The Smiths from 1982-87, and still handsome, nattily dressed in a suit and loosely knotted tie — spent a huge part of the evening softly testing and subtly prodding his fans.

With a radically conflicted persona, Morrissey has always pushed steamy buttons of gender and sexuality politics. As the frontman of The Smiths, he claimed to be celibate while referencing male lover subculture on stage and in lyrics. Since going solo, he has called himself a “humasexual,” and he very briefly discussed relationships with men and women in interviews and his autobiography.

Morrissey has long been a reluctant poster boy for the LGBTQ-plus movement. On Monday, however, images including Lypsinka and a dancing, smiling James Baldwin were projected on the screen behind him, an apparent ode to the gay community.

Gay social scene at Smith College?

I know Smith has sort of a reputation for LGBTQ inclusivity and all that, but I was wondering if anyone familiar with the same-sex attracted scene (dating and otherwise) at Smith might have some personal insight to offer?

Thanks!

As a parent, all I can say is that there is definitely a gay digital dating scene at Smith and I own heard some thoughts on that from my daughter, but I have no personal insight.

Hi, I’m a first year at Smith! I don’t personally include experience in the queer dating scene (I am pan, but have a cis male boyfriend), but around 50% of Smithies distinguish as queer, so naturally the digital dating scene is colossal. As a pan person, the social scene is astounding. There is honestly nowhere like Smith when it comes to safety, acceptance, and comfort for a queer person!

I am curious where you got the stat that 50% of Smithies identify as lgbtq+. While there is certainly a significant queer community at Smith, that number seems awfully lofty. Can you split your source please?

The Smiths, lead by advantage singer Morrissey and steer guitarist Johnny Marr in the 1980s, changed harmony forever through their distinct, sullen, and melodic sound that popularized the independent British rock scene to a scale never before imagined. And although the Smiths are heavily listened to today, I trust that many of the listeners ignore the evidence that many if not most of The Smiths' songs feature homosexual themes and undertones that are the main spirit of the music. Hell, it is almost never mentioned, not on Wikipedia, not in common conversation. It is just another example of playing down one man's beautiful art - an art that is inextricably and amazingly, gay. Many gay teens will cite The Smiths as their favorite band for the most part because, strangely, for once, there is a group that understands our pain, and sings our lives. As Morrissey sang in his song, "Panic," ". . . burn down the disco . . . because the music they constantly play, it says nothing to me about my life," most of the love songs in this world that are heard publicly would never feature gay lyrics. And so in my view, Morrissey, who has through the years constantly denied or remained aloof about his se
