15 High-Flying Homosexual Songs | Playlist 🎧

15 High-Flying Homosexual Songs features songs by Angry Samoans, Cameron Joshua McMillan, Darren Hayes, Momus, The Irrepressibles, and Yeticomplex. 

Certain words are triggering. One such word that triggers many people, particularly those who tend to be more conservative, Christian, and right-wing, is the word homosexual 🫣.  Merriam-Webster defines homosexual as (1) characterized by sexual or romantic attraction to people of one’s same sex: gay or (2) involving sexual activity between people of the same sex.  Worth noting, Merriam-Webster notes the decreased use of the term, and flags both definitions with now sometimes disparaging +  offensive. More frequently, we land on the word gay. But, there have been songs that exclusively feature the word homosexual, hence the likely controversial, polarizing musical compendium, 15 High-Flying Homosexual Songs.

Every song on 15 High-Flying Homosexual Songs must feature some form of the word homosexual, such as homosexuals or homosexuality.  Gay is no substitute on this particular list, though many gay lists have appeared on The Musical Hype. 15 High-Flying Homosexual Songs features songs by Angry Samoans, Cameron Joshua McMillan, Darren Hayes (twice), Momus, The Irrepressibles, and Yeticomplex.  So, without further ado, let’s explore this edgy but entertaining and intriguing playlist of 15 High-Flying Homosexual Songs!

1. Yeticomplex, “Homosexual”

Supergay » KuSawalini Productions » 2025

Yeticomplex is gay 🌈.  Not only is the Tampa, Florida, musician gay, but he’s Supergay 🏳️‍🌈, or so his 2025 album asserts. Peep 👀 that titillating cover art. Look respectfully, if you can, at that attractive, shirtless male’s midriff, not to mention those pink undies showing a little bulge 🫣.  Anyways, digging into the dance/electronic album, on the third track, Yeticomplex fully embraces what he is: “Homosexual”.

“Homosexual” is tailor-made for the gay club with its sleek, striking production works.  Primarily instrumental, the sounds make you wanna cut a rug, get down… dance, baby, dance! From the get-go, the groove is infectious – sickening! The keys and synths are colorful to the nth degree.  We’d expect no less from this cute, gay dance bop! As the track progresses, additional, intriguing, rhythmic synths and sound effects enter the mix, continuing to enhance the listening experience.  The lyrics are few, but it all comes back to one keyword: “homosexual.” In other words, gay… Supergay! With no extensive analysis necessary, Yeticomplex brings the vibes on the irresistible “Homosexual”.

2. NOJO & DigBar, “Homosexual Friend”

“Homosexual Friend” » NOJO Hits » 2025 

Word. That’s a lot of times to repeat the word, homosexual.  NOJO goes on to support his “homosexual boy” and “homosexual twin” on the brief but potent “Homosexual Friend”. He is the first voice heard on “Homosexual Friend,” wowing with the melodic chorus. It’s not only NOJO who embraces all things homosexual.  An unapologetic, homosexual rapper, DigBar, assists him. 

View this post on Instagram

Like NOJO, DigBar rides the hard-nosed, trap musical accompaniment like a champ. His cadence and flow are compelling as H-E-double-hockey-sticks. Better yet, the bars are badass as For Under Consent of the King! “I shoulda knew that my homie was sus when he popped out in a crop top,” DigBar spits, and continues, “I shoulda knew that my homie was sus when he asked to play big booty.” Sus is problematic slang, associating being gay with a negative connotation aka homophobia. That said, DigBar is openly gay, and his music reflects such. He goes on to say he knows his homie is sus because he listens to his music! Notably, “He’s definitely down for a buttfuck / If you in bed with him you gon’ get sucked up / Honestly it’s kinda fucked up / Just like a kid he like playing with dump trucks.” Woo! NOJO melodically raps the second verse, which, like DigBar’s verse, is filled with gay shyt. “He slurping on nut, dick up his butt, he’s a real gay slut,” he raps, and continues, “He’s fucking the longest dick he’s ever taken, it goes all the way to his gut.” Later, this big homo “Loves sucking on sacks / Whites, Asians, and blacks / The biggest homo we know / We all know what you blow.” What more needs to be said? Both NOJO and DigBar gay it up on “Homosexual Friend”, PERIOD 💅!

3. The Irrepressibles, “Ecstacy Homosexuality”

Yo Homo (Deluxe) » Of Naked Design » 2025

Jamie McDermott sings, and adds, “Homosexuality, homosexuality / Homosexual is what we are!” The British musician and his project, The Irrepressibles, leave no doubt regarding sexual preference on “Ecstacy Homosexuality”. There is no shying away from being true to self and “what we are,” which is proudly, homosexual. “Ecstacy Homosexuality” is the second track on The Irrepressibles’ 2025 album, Yo Homo.  McDermott affirmed queerness on the stunning “What I Am! Queer” which appears further down the track list.

Although the tempo is quite slow, “Ecstacy Homosexuality” remains engaging throughout its six-minute duration.  Notably, the accompanying music video is shorter. “I can see his vulnerability as he lets go of himself and sets free!” McDermott proclaims, and adds, “I put my breath into him, and he puts his into mine / He’s leading me up to a feeling that’s so sublime.” That feeling, of course, is liberation as a homosexual!  The emphasis on he and he, him and him, and his and his is pronounced, without the least bit of homophobia, judgment, or shame.  “It’s what we are!” he sings, and continues, “Everything turns quiet and we’re free / I’m in you, you’re in me / Time stands still around us, we’re free.” “Ecstacy Homosexuality” is the ultimate queer affirmation, executed with expressive, intimate, and indulgent-sounding vocals, meaningful lyrics, gorgeous melodies, and distinct musical accompaniment incorporating various instruments and sounds, including guitar, strings, and dramatic pipe organ.  The ecstasy is real!

4. AI Larry Bob, “Homosexual Friend”

“Homosexual Friend” » AI Musicians Global Records » 2025

Straight as a circle, huh? That is a striking lyric, AI Larry Bob! Honestly, everything about “Homosexual Friend” is striking.  The countrified backdrop of this AI song is standard – quintessential country.  The lyrics, however, which are, dare I say, homosexually charged, are not characteristic of country music. A song where a straight man sings about his gay bestie is NOT your father’s brand of country music.  The first verse is honest… honestly something else!

“This is my homosexual friend

He likes homosexual men

He’s looking for a big, strong man

To break his butthole in

I’m straight as a fencepost

But he’s gay as hell

Always trying to put a dick in his mouth as well.”

So, his homosexual friend is an oral bottom. Noted! The second verse dives into the gay stereotypes that his homosexual buddy falls into: crossdressing, lipstick, etc. On the bridge, he also affirms how un-straight his homosexual friend is. Instead, he’s “Got them boys lined up like it’s cowboy porn.” What more can you say but yeehaw, cowboy 🤠! That “Homosexual Friend” is super gay 🏳️‍🌈!

5. Baths, “Homosexuals”

Gut » Basement’s Basement » 2025

Intriguing, Baths (Will Wiesenfeld). Please, tell us more.  “Brunettes are sharp / On an isle of blondes.” Hmm, that is underselling blondes, isn’t it? Make what you will of the compelling and unique songwriting of “Homosexuals”.  Wiesenfeld keeps the listener on their toes lyrically, even with repetition in the mix. Fun fact, those homosexuals aren’t explicitly named in “Homosexuals.” Are they referenced on the fifth track from Bath’s 2025 album, Gut? You bet! Another striking lyric: “My love is a dog barking / And dogs barking far off.” Woof-woof!

Pausing on the lyrical front, the production is top-notch on “Homosexuals.” It begins with an ear-catching melodic ostinato, which sets the tone.  Among other elite sounds are mammoth drums, which sound particularly distinct within the mix.  Also, additional rhythmic, percussive sounds are epic, adding to the picturesque nature of the backdrop. Baths has ample fuel for the fire from his kick-ass production work. Vocally, he sounds beautiful, expressive, and sincere in his performance.  Those thought-provoking lyrics align with memorable melodies, highlighted by the crème de la crème, the centerpiece, extraordinary, the chorus! 

“Toss a flock of lovers all my effort

And see who comes to eat

Know that none of how I’ve loved is working

Please devour me

Might the mass of all of us digested

Be camaraderie

Know that none of how I’ve loved is working

But I guess I’m free.”

The chorus recurs throughout “Homosexuals”, in all its love, or non-love-oriented glory. Baths slays on one of the most unique homosexual songs you’ll ever hear. Epic!

6. Cameron Joshua McMillan, “HOMOSEXUAL”

GEMINI ◈ side one ◈ MASCULINE » CamBam » 2024 

the handsome, talented Cameron Joshua McMillan sings at the top of his single, “HOMOSEXUAL”. What an unapologetic title! Pray and gay rhyme, so they are at least related in that respect 😏. Unfortunately, some people only associate the two words together regarding ridding of latter, which McMillan clearly isn’t fool with (“Can’t take that away baby”).  Just those few lines alone speak volumes.  On “HOMOSEXUAL,” Cameron is NOT ashamed to be who he is. Why the hell should he be? “I won’t ever apologize for the beautiful life ahead of me!”

Proudly a homo (his words, per the chorus), he goes on to cite his homosexual brethren: “Elton, George, Freddie, Ru, Ian, Billy, Ricky, Adam, Troye.” Furthermore, he understands what and who he is, which honestly, is more than can be said about many folks. Also, consider those who suffer from internalized homophobia as well as external homophobia who wish they could embrace their true selves. Essentially, “HOMOSEXUAL” is empowering. Beyond the authentic messaging and fine vocals (including sweet harmonies), the backdrop is enticing.  Slick electro pop and a major key to celebrate being true to self? This 2021 bop embracing truth without shame deserved far more attention aka streams!

7. Darren Hayes, “Homosexual (Act One)”

Homosexual » Powdered Sugar Productions Ltd » 2022

according to Darren Hayes (b. 1972). Word. Hayes covers a lot of ground on “Homosexual (Act One),” the sixth track from his 2022 album, Homosexual. He reflects on his identity, sexuality, and finding love (he and his husband have since divorced). Hayes adds, “All my life I’ve been searching for that shockwave deep in my soul / I’ve been incorrigible since I was born / It’s intentional / It’s homosexual.” Incorrigible is one of many brilliant choices of words, particularly describing homosexuality. Sadly, there are some who, unfortunately, still believe that it is a choice that is correctable. The talented Australian musician describes and reflects on his homosexual life, the ups and downs, in this nearly seven-minute track.  Hayes sings sensationally, including a ripe falsetto. The songwriting is fresh and poetic.  “All my life a predilection for a gentleman’s cologne / A deep desire that’s been carved in stone,” he sings, “It’s four dimensional / It’s homosexual.” Further upping the ante is the bright, sparkling production, courtesy of Hayes. Although it’s lengthy, with its extended electronic instrumental and some repetitive lyrics (“It was the summer of love,” etc.), Hayes makes “Homosexual (Act One)” worthwhile. After all, “It’s homosexual!”

8. Darren Hayes, “Homosexual (Act Two)”

Homosexual » Powdered Sugar Productions Ltd » 2022 

What do you mean, Darren Hayes (b. 1972)? “‘Cause if man was created in the image of God / Then maybe, she’s a homosexual.” Oh, wow… Don’t let those ultra-conservative Christians hear that… The Australian pop singer/songwriter not only released “Homosexual (Act One)”, but he also released “Homosexual (Act Two)”. “(Act Two)” arrives as the 13^th track on Homosexual.  Reflecting on Act Two, per Apple Music, Hayes asserts:

I couldn’t decide on the tempo, and there were two grooves… But in using this slower groove, I came up with a different point of view. And even though the melody is similar and some of the lyrics are similar, I have this really rebellious, cheeky point of view in this song where I basically just say, ‘If you have a problem with me, then take it up with God because I bet she’s a homosexual too.’

Embracing his truth, Hayes asserts, “And if love is a sin / You can count me in / Yes, baby, I’m a homosexual.” Beyond some additional striking lyrics comparable to “Act One,” as Hayes stated, there are shared and similar lyrics and melodies on “Act Two.” Beyond the lyrics making various spiritual references, one of the best lyrics, unique to “Homosexual (Act Two)” is, “Every little fleck of blue inside my eyes is by design / Every little imperfection I possess uniquely mine.” Word. Once more, Hayes sings brilliantly, creates a picturesque instrumental, and delivers ultra-tuneful melodies with plenty of homosexually tinged lyrics.

9. Pansy Division, “Bill & Ted’s Homosexual Adventure”

Singles & Such » DistroKid » 2019 

Oh… you mean, they’re… homosexual!? Yup, or so Pansy Division informs us! Those two boys are Bill and Ted, gay lovers in “Bill & Ted’s Homosexual Adventure”… Hmm, wonder where Pansy Division came up with that original title? “In the garage / They are practicing their guitar solos,” Jon Ginoli sings in the second verse, and adds, “But in the bedroom / They are practicing on one another.” Oh fuck 🤭! “Bill & Ted’s Homosexual Adventure” is the third track on the Pansy Division compilation album, Singles & Such, released in 2019.  “Bill & Ted” is filled with gay lyrics, which is on brand for the LGBTQ-themed band.

Pansy Division refers to Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, while also delivering a heaping dose of double entendre and suggestive lyrics (“Hey dude, 69!” and “They got condoms in their pockets / Plug 🔌 into each other’s sockets”).  There are also clever and creative lyrics, too: “They learned from Socrates / And other ancient Greeks / The art of homo love / And sexual techniques.” Okay, so those lyrics got sexual, too…   Beyond the songwriting, the sound of “Bill & Ted’s Homosexual Adventure” stands out with the ripe, distorted guitar, a fat, anchoring bass line, and hard-hitting drum grooves. The entertaining chorus is the section to beat:

“It’s no bogus journey

It’s the hearts’ true yearning

It’s time for Bill and Ted’s

Homosexual adventure to begin.”

“Bill & Ted’s Homosexual Adventure” is one of a kind! “It’s no bogus journey / It’s a boner journey!”

10. Angry Samoans, “Homo-Sexual”

Back from Samoa » Bad Trip / Nickel and Dime / Triple X » 1982

And thus begins “Homo-Sexual” by the satirical Los Angeles punk band, Angry Samoans.  “Homo-Sexual” appears on the band’s 1982 album, Back from Samoa.  Naturally, the titular lyric is repeated numerous times throughout this brief cut, which runs under a minute long.  The song is up-tempo, characterized by its aggressive, distorted, driving, jagged, and rhythmic guitar riffs, as well as the pummeling drums that hit you right in the chest 🤘.  Metal Mike Saunders (b. 1952) has ample fuel for his vocal fire.

Saunders’ vocals are chanted, rhythmic, and filled with personality.  The lyrics are bold, blunt, and unapologetic. Very gay! Like many punk bands, Angry Samoans don’t give a flying fizzuck.  “Screw your wife in the behind  / Tell your kids you’re doing fine,” he sings in the first verse, and continues, “Goddamn no-good stupid liar / Suckin’ dick, your pants on fire.”  Oh, shit, Mike reads him for filth! He captures a closeted homosexual man.  “Living in your faggot world,” he sings, and adds, “Talking shop with lawyer’s wives / Sneaking out to meet the guys.” Particularly in the 1980s, this wouldn’t be far-fetched.  The f-slur remains controversial, though many members of the gay community have reclaimed the word.  In various instances, Metal Mike incorporates homosexual happenings, in the most rough around the edge, unnuanced way possible:

“(Homosexual) Up the ass…

(Homosexual) Jerk me off…

(Homosexual) Kill Dan White…

(Homosexual) I’m ashamed.”

The references to disgraced politician Dan White (1946 – 1985), responsible for the assassination of Harvey Milk (1930 – 1978), a politician and iconic gay rights activist, as well as homosexual shame, are notable.  Although a bite-sized song, “Homo-Sexual” is jam-packed and worth listening to and analyzing.

11. Corporate Avenger, “Jesus Christ Homosexual”

Freedom Is A State Of Mind » KOCH » 2001

Yep, nu-metal/rap-rock band Corporate Avenger starts “Jesus Christ Homosexual” off with a controversial-assed, surely sacrilegious bang.  Beyond the song title itself, the band uses an outdated and offensive term referencing an intersex person. Oops 😬! Furthermore, they speculate, in the intro of the tenth track of Freedom Is A State Of Mind, that Mary, Jesus’ mother, might be intersex 👀.  That assertion has been explored, but most Christians, in particular, aren’t a fan of even considering such when it comes to Mother Mary. Anytime somebody notable, particularly biblical, is considered to be other in some way, it’s a hairy situation. After they motherfuckin’ go (their motherfuckin’ words, not mine), Corporate Avenger transforms a child’s mealtime prayer into something, dare I say, sus: “God is good, God is great / I think that he might be gay.” Oh, this is damnable!

“Jesus Christ Homosexual” should be taken with a grain of salt. Even with associating God as being gay 😬, the band does make a relevant point. “If Jesus Christ was God and God created all / Then Jesus Christ created the homosexual / There might be a little fag in us all!”  The choice of words, particularly the f-slur, is questionable, but far too often, homosexuality is associated with an abomination. But God did create everything, correct? Right, or so The Bible says. The second verse continues to explore the gay angle, with Corporate Avenger highlighting the gay hate purported by some Christians. “He made us in His image,” they sing, and add, “Now listen what I say / Then it’s a possibility that Jesus Christ was gay.” Outlandish? Yes, but there is a worthwhile discussion piece beyond Jesus Christ’s sexuality… It feels strange to write that statement…  Playing devil’s advocate 😈, Corporate Avenger does seem to be careful in phrasing certain things, making sure they are hypothetical.  Still, when a song is titled “Jesus Christ Homosexual”, the controversy is automatic – built in – without performing one note.  To reiterate, take this 2000s song with a grain of salt.

12. Modern Rocketry, “Homosexuality”

Get Ready » Unidisc Music, Inc. » 1996

A 🚀 or a 🍆 ? That seems to be the question! The answer is the latter, DUH! Gotta love context clues! Anyways, Modern Rocketry was an obscure, short-lived, hi-NRG disco band featuring Ken Kessie. Their homosexually driven “Homosexuality” was released in 1985, commencing their self-titled album.  The song is most readily available on their 1996 album, Get Ready. Given its title and the lyrics excerpted above, the gay vibes are easily perceptible. Modern Rocketry is accurate when it asserts, “Love will find a way.”

If anything, “Homosexuality” gets gayer as it progresses. That’s sort of the expectation, right? Right! Modern Rocketry goes “cruising in a Brooklyn disco / With a trick from Amsterdam,” and “got lost on Fire Island / Found my daddy in the can.” Oh, snap! We listen and we don’t judge!  The chorus sums things up:

“Homosexuality

(Yes, sir!)

Do you wanna get next to me?

Homosexuality

(Yes, sir!)

Anything to fill your needs.”

Emphasis on the fill part 🤭 🤫 😈. Ultimately, “Homosexuality” is a spicy, surefire vibe… in more ways than one, depending on your sexual preferences 😉.  This mid-1980s joint is slickly produced, characterized by its relentless rhythm, bright, dynamic synths, and a groove that is a surefire catalyst to hit the club, dancefloor, and find some naughty fun 😈. The vocal performance matches the energy of the ornate, picturesque instrumental.  Hearing this more obscure oldie for the first time, it deserved much more attention.  Sure, it is more niche than mainstream, but it is an impressive song, nonetheless.

13. Screeching Weasel, “I Wanna Be A Homosexual”

Kill The Musicians » Monona » 1995

Um, okay, Ben Weasel. The ball is in your court, or, if you were born this way, you know what your sexual preference is. Regardless, the vocalist for Screeching Weasel said what he said on “I Wanna Be A Homosexual,” the ninth track from their 1995 album, Kill The Musicians.  Weasel, John Jughead, and Dan Vapid penned “I Wanna Be a Homosexual.” Screeching Weasel and Andy Ernst produced it.

With such a bold and gay proclamation, Ben Weasel has plenty to say on this punk joint.  The stereotypes precede the homosexually affirming chorus with mentions of a lisp, limp wrist, and, “A nancy boy with wings.” Later, Weasel encourages “Shock[ing] the middle class / Take it up your punk ass / You rub your little thing / When you see phony dykes in Penthouse magazine.” Oh, snap! The answer is a man, per Ben, “A beefy leather fag to take you out in drag.” There is more, including “Call me a faggot / Call me a butt-loving, fudge-packing queer / I don’t care,” and “You’re so full of shit / Why don’t you admit? / You don’t have the balls to be a queer.” Edgy, politically incorrect, and unapologetic, “I Wanna Be A Homosexual” is something else.  It is a response to another song that appears on this list, Sloppy Seconds’ “I Don’t Wanna Be a Homosexual”.  That’s controversy in its own right! Ben Weasel brings mad energy vocally, while Screeching Weasel matches it with their up-tempo, high-flying instrumental – distorted guitar, anchoring bass, and pummeling drums.

14. Sloppy Seconds, “I Don’t Wanna Be a Homosexual”

Destroyed » Sloppy Seconds » 1989

If you don’t have a girlfriend, you’ve gotta be gay 🌈, right? Sometimes, that’s the thought process or what’s assumed. Sloppy Seconds, specifically, B.A. asserts, “I Don’t Wanna Be a Homosexual.” “I Don’t Wanna Be a Homosexual” is the opening track from the punk band’s 1989 album, Destroyed.  The intro of the song features colorful dialogue excerpted from the 1974 John Waters film, Female Trouble.  In the dialogue, Aunt Ida (Edith Massey) tries to get Gater (Michael Potter), who is heterosexual, to find a nice queer boy. Gater, however, asserts his straight preference. B.A. uses this fitting intro as fuel to express his own heterosexuality despite those pesky homosexual rumors.

BA wants the world to know how straight he is.  In the second, he states, “You know those places [where strange things happen] well / And you’ve never seen me there / I walk by other men / And I don’t notice them.” Later, he asks what prompts the gay rumors –  the walk, clothes, hair?  In the fourth verse, he sings, “And I curse the day I pierced my ear.” Of course, pierced ears are even more common now, particularly among the straightest of bros.  It should be noted that this isn’t an anti-gay song, but B.A. doesn’t want to be characterized as something he’s not. See the chorus:

“So, I’m gonna tell the world

I don’t wanna be a homosexual

I’m gonna find a girl

‘Cause I don’t wanna be a homosexual

I guess that it’s okay

If other guys are gay

But my hormones are one-directional

And I don’t wanna be a homosexual.”

Energetic and entertaining, “I Don’t Wanna Be a Homosexual” is one of a kind.

15. Momus, “The Homosexual”

Tender Pervert » Cherry Red » 1988

If you love women, then love women.  Why should you change? Scottish musician Momus (Nicholas Currie, b. 1960) continues singing on his classic song, “The Homosexual”, “[What’s the point of arguing] with the men from boarding schools and building sites / Who’ve told me I’m a homosexual all my life.” Sometimes, men who are viewed as more effeminate are wrongly labeled as gay.  That is the case with this song, which is about a purported homosexual in others’ eyes. “The Homosexual” is the fourth track from his 1988 album, Tender Pervert. Jam-packed, it runs under five minutes long.

Pausing from the lyrics and songwriting momentarily, the instrumental that fuels “The Homosexual” fire must be acknowledged.  The track is groovy thanks to its boxy drum programming that is quintessentially ‘80s. Also contributing to the colorful accompaniment are keys, guitar, and sound effects.  Momus’ vocals are cool, easygoing, and modest, despite these ridiculous homosexual allegations made to the character he portrays. His melodies are tuneful, despite his subtle performance. The clever and intriguing lyrics stand out, particularly as he sings about straight experiences. “I love women, but I take them by surprise / Pretending absolute indifference to their breasts and thighs,” he sings, and adds, “I recall the words my first girlfriend ended our first date with / ‘I feel privileged you chose me to go straight with’.” Ooh-wee.  Adding to the intriguing nature of the song are the female orgasmic sounds.  This purported homosexual was getting busy… with women! The chorus is the crowning achievement:

“‘That homosexual’, you called me, it’s all the same to me

That specter you projected, I will now pretend to be

Since your neurosis is what passes from normality

It’s okay with me if I’m queer

Since your tone-deafness is called the love of music

I won’t disabuse you

I’ll make love with your woman

I’ll make her sing notes of pleasure

That you will never hear, never in a million years

No fucking fear.”

D-d-damn! Interestingly, “The Homosexual” is based on a true story 👀. Ultimately, this song is nothing short of a vibe.  Ultimately, this song is nothing short of a vibe.
