Okay what the fuck gives with this one? None of the members of Depeche Mode are gay. Vince Clarke isn't gay and went on to marry a lady. So why the fuck are there two gay tunes on the first Depeche album?
Straight people singing about being gay isn't normal anywhere.

As an American I laughed at that. As cheesy as those synths and lyrics are, I still like that album. Vince Clarke never really evolved, though. At least Martin Gore expanded into a pedophile pervert...

I think portions of their material played on untraditional sex, gender-bending, etc. e.g. the lyrics in "Something To Do" reference wearing some woman's dress and boots. However, I think they are workers' boots and an "oil-stained" dress or something like that.
LOL! I'm crying, here! I loved that song in high school when I'd get some far away radio station out of San Francisco but I never had any cable for MTV or anything like that so I never saw that video before. Hahaha! Loved Erasure.
