simply a great song, straight from the heart. maybe british cops arent raiding gay bars but the gist is still relevant. havent heard this is years. thanks!

I tracked this down to learn it for a bit of a strum but, pleasingly, we've achieved so much in the last 30+ years that much of it isn't relevant any more (well, not in the UK anyway.)

Alas, too much of it is still relevant, in attitudes if not in law.

Still a bloody great song though. I learned it anyway. :)

I think that the attitudes are still firmly there both for men and women, by a load of inconsiderate loud mouthed people - shame they just can't let everyone get on with their own lives .......

With this song, which is brilliant, Tom broke many "moulds" of the time and allowed people to be a lot more that they wanted to be I think - I cant really comment truthfully as I'm straight, but what the Heck I've always loved this song & sung along to it

It's someone Peter Tatchell said of " In the 1970s and '80s, he was one of the most famous gay men in Britain. His hit song "Glad to be Gay" was, for over a decade, the de facto gay national anthem. He's playing at David Hoyle's Aural Assualt this Thursday!

Looks like Shout Factory has put out a DVD set of five Secret Policeman's Balls.
