Like I said before the boy can paint a picture with his words and sing them so elegantly. That being said, his orientation doesn't bother me, but listening to a song and he's directly singing about a dude, does make me cringe a little bit. I'm not homophobic, I'm just old school in some ways. I can listen to Luther Vandross and Freddie Jackson sing love songs and I know they were gay, but it was comforting to listen to the song and it was about a woman.
In my politically correct mind Forest Gump, and Bad Religion are great tunes, it offers an interesting dichotomy to me. I'm just hoping as mentioned before he would re-release Forest Gump with a pronoun noun change.
