I think, that’s what it is. If I remember it correctly, then someone who had listened to the songs before (Was it at the pre-listening party in Berlin?) described the song that way.

Well, maybe he can ride on the coat tails of Taylor's YNTCD and it will be successful. We'll see if the Gay community rallys behind it as well as mainstream listeners. From all indications this is the one song/lead single that he was hoping would take off. I just don't want it referred to or labeled "Gay Anthem" to hinder it's more widespread appeal. Just my thoughts.

Lol, Bama, you are being really optimistic in your hopes! gay community supporting Adam! The stuff of dreams....
btw, I noticed Amazon has every song from side A marked as “explicit”... idk if “shit” is considered that...
i also remember Adam saying (somewhere a while ago) that SP is an anthem...
i truly wish wish he would crank up the promo a few notches. We are getting close and he is still doing tiny drops, instead of a real avalanche of social media promo... (now That I follow another artist I can see the sea of difference...)

Just my thoughts. Maybe he is counting on the time being right for a gay anthem from a gay man. Born This Way is a gay anthem so we know they can have broad appeal....that is not the important question! In a time of such deep divisions, people are looking for clear ways to describe their tribe...this could be one way of doing this if it is a powerful clear message song! It’s time, I think.

Just my thoughts. Taylor's song is successful because she gets massive radio play. The same with Mackemore's "Same Love" and Gaga's "Born This Way". Haven't seen an actual gay man get that kind of reception and recognition for a "Gay Anthem." Not sure Adam will get much or any radio play for anything. It wouldn't be easy with a major label putting a little effort behind him. But without one, what are the chances? It has been so long since he has had a successful single that hopes have faded (for me). I find it hard to believe that a 4th single from Adam will suddenly be the one. Tho I would love to be wrong and see this song takeoff. And some of his fans will label it a "Gay Anthem," even if it isn't, hindering it's more widespread appeal or not. I'll just buy and stream and hope it does what he wants it to do. There hasn't been too much of a push for anything so I'm not going to let my hopes and expectations get crazy this time, lol.

You are right....I think it was just wishful thinking....and not likely. The community loves Taylor now and Gaga forever. Both of their "gay" songs were really good and catchy and they are "iconic" already so their songs had broad appeal. My main concern is the gay community not really rallying behind it and Adam and it being labeled a gay anthem to the mainstream which might hinder it's popularity in general. Anyway, hope I'm worrying too much and the song is so fabulous that it will have mass appeal. ETA: Or what @lurleene said.

I guess I'm not seeing the gay community as the most marginalized right now. Things aren't perfect but there a lot of other interest groups from gun control to immigration to environmental that could take this on as an anthem also.
