  General Comment:I think it's a song about the consequences of parental (father/son or mother/son) molestation. It sounds as though the singer does not like himself and also suffers from sexual confusion, which is common with victims of parental molestation. He's straight, but doesn't always view himself as straight because he's had sex with men, probably when in a bad or heightened state of mind. He looks down on himself for having had sex with men. It's an incredibly sad song, especially with "molestation" sung near the end of the song, with the placement being intentional. It's the reason for the actions taken earlier in the song. Without the molestation by someone he trusted, his life would very well have turned out differently (better). I think by saying he's "been denied all the best ultra sex," is him feeling he's been denied sex that occurred in a lovin, mutually respectful relationship. He's getting sex wherever, whenever, and with whomever, but it's not as gratifying as he would like it to be (emotionally gratifying anyway). But who knows...it's what my fat ass could come up with after listening to the song and almost crying.

  General Comment:How can this song be bashing gays if Jimmy pretty much scares the fuck out of homophobes anyway? And Fear of Mole Rats, your meaning sounds pretty perfect for the song I think.

  General Comment:Those who think this song is against homosexuality has no sense of humor. And that's probably the nicest thing I can honestly say about you fuckers.
  
  This song is satirical, like a lot of MSI's songs. Hell, I knew this song was satirical before I even listened to it! If it was gonna mock homosexuality, it wouldn't be named "Faggot".
  
  I love how the chorus sounds like music you would hear in a strip club. I love MSI's sense of humor. I think this song is about being told that homosexuality is wrong, then feeling so right when you have gay sex yourself. I think the theme of this song is, "don't listen to others opinions, yours is the only one that matters". If you want to fuck another dood, then by all means, fuck another dood. No one's stopping you.

  General Comment:Sometimes in close-minded communities people get called "faggot" or similar terms just for being weird. one of the best ways to get them to f*ck off is to go along with it. some moron calls you gay, even if you're not, hit on him. he'll get creeped out and leave you alone forever. I think the point here is "you said something about a faggot? I got yer faggot right here baby!" he's exaggerating (of course, look who we're talking about) to get his point across.

  General Comment:Actually, I guess I should say that in my opinion, the song's meaning isn't so deep.
  
  I think the song is about him doing it with guys to get farther in the record industry, because once he got famous, he'd get all the girls... but now they won't let him live that down.
  
  At some point in concert, he even says that every single successful person sucked a dick to get there.

  General Comment:Jimmy says himself, in an interview on YouTube that this song is about predjudices. He uses the example of a gay person who, in this song, feels as if he will never get to accomplish what he wants in life because he thinks that he needs to hide a huge part of himself from the world.
  It's about how people label eachother, and the stereotypes that come with these labels can have a horrible affect on peoples lives.

    Sounds very interesting. Could a link be possible? Not that I don't believe you, I'd just genuinely like to see the interview.
