Which Gay Bruce Springsteen Song Are You?
Everyone has a hungry heart, and so many gay men have a favorite Springsteen song. Somehow, simultaneously the straightest man alive and the old butch of a lesbian bar, opening beer bottles with a worn key. There is something about his timeless stories of desire; for love, for acceptance, for freedom from small-town confines and familiar faces that know a version of yourself you’ve been dying to escape from. The reason we many queer people love the boss is all the ways we come across in the words of a great king from North Jersey.
