Are depeche mode gay
Hi! Here you can ask me anything you like.
Anonymous asks are currently off because of spam, unfortunately. If you feel too nervous to ask a question without anon, please feel free to make a burner account. Also, if you'd prefer me to retort your question privately, just let me know. Either way, it might seize me a rare days (or weeks) to get advocate to you, but I will react as soon as I can. (If you send me an instant communication, I will probably reply faster, but not in depth.)
Note if you own an ASOIAF meta-question, please read my Frequently Asked Questions and search my blog / examine my tags to see if I’ve already answered a similar question. Frequently repeated questions will probably not be answered again, sorry. If I'm feeling up to it (or if we've had a canon lore drop since I last responded), I might retort anyway, but if I would just repeat the strict same answer, I won't. But hey, I've got some good posts I think, please confirm 'em out!
However, one major reminder:
PLEASE Carry out NOT ASK ME ABOUT GAME OF THRONES.
If you own a question about Game of Thrones, please note I stopped watching the show mid-s5 and avoided it entirely afterwards. If you send such a question anyway,

This year, Martin as well as Dave released solo records. It was the start of a partly quite amusing "bitch alarm". You had to fear there would never be another DM album ...
Martin began and released the unpartnered Stardust / Existence Is Strange on 14 April, followed by the album Counterfeit 2 on 28 April, and the single Loverman on 17 November. From 24 April to 7 May he went on a little solo tour, which comprised 7 concerts.
Opposite to the years before, Martin was much more diplomatic but nevertheless, he made some statements which would command to some trouble with Dave later. Like his reply to the ask whether he had listened to Dave's solo album.
"I was just this minute speaking to our manager about it. I've tried to pick up a package Dave has sent me three times but it seems to have got defeated in the share. I don't really know what Dave's expectations are. I've no big commercial ideas about Counterfeit2. I'd be surprised if it's a huge success."[1]
Some journalists seemed determined to dredge up old news, such as how his family had reacted to his clothing style in the 1980s, an

I’m listening to the Bloodhound Gang song “I Wish I Was Homosexual So I Could Obtain Chicks” right now.
One of the lines expresses the singers desire to be gay so that he could “appreciate Depeche Mode”. What does this mean?
I happen to like Depeche Mode, and I’m unbent. Am I missing something?
Do homosexuals really have a higher and more comprehensive understanding of their tune than heterosexuals?

“I don’t wish to sound like a queer or nothin, but Depeche Mode are a pretty sweet band”
I’m direct and I like me some Depeche Mode. Not a huge fan, but I’ve really enjoyed the couple of albums I’ve heard. I find it odd that there is more than one pop culture refence to a link between Depeche Mode and being gay. Could the Bloodhound Gang be referring to the Orgazmo quote or vice versa?

Best thread title in a long time.

I think it may be the Bloodhound Gang who are missing something.
DM are my favourite band and I own to report that I am straight so apparently the correlation is far from perfect.
DM did perform around (and still does to some extent) with styles

[Gay thread] what's the best depeche mode song in your opinion?
category: offtopic [glöplog]
best != fave and fave != best;
My fave would be "Never Let Me Down again"
Gay thread???
Yes, it would be a gay thread if you position Bronski Beat instead of Depeche Mode in the topicname.
Anyways, "Enjoy the Silence"
enjoy the silence... alas, this is pouet.
Never Leave Me Down Again / Stripped.
Never Let Me Down Again, savor the silence
And death to those who believe DM is gay.

...and I couldn't find any gay looking photo of Andy Fletcher (but he looks gayer than the rest...).
But those photos are from the 80ies.. Every rock/popstar looked gay then.
yeah, the 80s trend was gay actually...
Actually the two middle photos are from 2006.
New Order didn't look that gayier, but their music was much gayier.
That is indeed a bit scary.
Joy Division > New Order > Depeche Mode.
But my favourite Depeche Mode song is Black Celebration.
