You ‘claim’ Pet Shop Boys is an anthem of some kind but don’t like Scissor Sisters or Kim Wilde but prefer George Harrison.  Turn your proper gay card in at the front desk on your way out.  I think your closet hetero.  

[msc 17,974]

Eh? Dusty's been a gay icon for sixty years now, and that song is great.

Do you have some kind of humiliation kink? That's the only reason I can think you'd post something as unintelligent as this.
