I mean, it maybe wasn't gay, but was definitely a reference to something hellish, depraved, opposed to common morality, weak, like that.

Because back then it clearly meant protest against authority, against hierarchy, against stereotypic masculinity, against war, against evil covered by normalcy.

In some sense it's an intentional show of vulnerability, that look.

And I'd take that over Kipelov in Russia every day, that moron who doesn't fucking understand what rock music is.
