No, they don't have "loads" of gay songs! WTF? Rob has always kept the lyrics neutral, so that they apply to gay or straight couples. Just because he is gay and he writes about relationships, that doesn't make a song homosexual. Love is love and it applies to all, period.
And again, Who gives a shit if a song is "gay" or not??? I sure as hell don't!
I don't want it to be gay, I just think it is. Priest have loads of gay songs, why not this one?

It has always been my experience that people determined to find something wrong with the lyrics in a song, always do because they read WAAAAAAY TOO MUCH into things, or take it completely out of context! People were hell bent on making Priest a "satanic" band way back when and the shit they told me the lyrics meant was absolutely hysterical! You WANT the song to be gay because Rob is gay and that's why you see it that way.

I think the Starbreaker is a gay guy who is opening up the gay lifestyle to guys who are confused about their sexuality. He does this by exposing them to a world that is vastly different to the one they are used to and one which will ultimately bring them happiness, should they decide to go his way. All the references to cruising, hand holding, stealing hearts and getting high aside that's basically what it's about. Whether or not you agree I'm glad that comment sparked some debate.
As for the album cover I'm surprised that the dark figure hasn't fallen over leaning on that angle and I love how the female figure at the front appears to be naked apart from her high heels.
