I'm fairly certain that this song is about incarcerated gays. And not just because of the title. It's possible it was inspired by a make out session with Bert, but I think it's bigger than that.
There's a line "we're just two men as god had made us" that tells that it's one man speaking to another. And then "I'll kiss your lips again" they're in love. "my cellmate's a killer; they make me do push ups in drag" this line tells that he's in prison (like the title) and to me implies that he's gay because why else would his cellmates choose drag to mess with him in? Then there's some lines that sound like they're about a prison rape.
Also, in the live version on the Life on the Murder scene cd he says that it's about "five beautiful boys who done went to jail".
