... And also: which are the cliches in gay/ non-heterosexual music / lyrics? How are they related to the cliches, the old n' used pictures of heterosexual relationships and perspectives?

i would say stephin merritt to thread but i have no idea what a gay lyrical cliche is. i didnt know homosexual lyrics were widespread enough to have cliches.

I was gonna mention Stephin Merritt until I realised that it's the cliche's that make me like him, so its probably a bad exmaple. Still, I Have The Moon beats most love songs, straight OR gay.

Yeah, Stephin Merritt is an interesting example - the way he uses cliches like 'roses' 'moon'...
One cliche in gay lyrics might be an attempt to be witty. Ironic stuff. For my part, I don't think I've heard a really simple and earnest lyric with a gay theme... But why am I asking myself this at all? Perhaps it is a cliché to expect gay people to be all innovative, staying clear of all clichés.

Pete Shelley to thread. "After this love will be no other . . . until the razor cuts!"

I nominate "Turn It On" by Sleater-Kinney.
And "Under Your Spell" from the musical episode of Buffy.

the lyrics of the hidden cameras and simpatico are fairly cliche-free..

could gay cliché be more a musical quirk? I suggest GIGANTIC DRUM ROLLS or hi-hat explosions. or beats with guys going "ugh" along to them. all great obviously. there must be some really clichéd gay house.
