First we have Stigma!!
iconic, raised millions for the community !! hiding yourself, apologizing to family, fear of sinning, prime examples of catholic guilt and internalized homophobia
iconic, raised millions for the community !! hiding yourself, apologizing to family, fear of sinning, prime examples of catholic guilt and internalized homophobia
Singularity ! based on the book “Confessions of a Mask” by Yukio Mishima, where Mishima discusses how he “wore a mask” to hide his homosexuality, the song talks about losing your true self while wearing the mask
Fake Love ! forcing yourself to be someone you’re not (cishet?) in order to make ppl love you! not knowing yourself cause of this mask, pretending to be happy with who you are when rly youre scared and confused
Boy Meets Evil ! feeling like the love is forbidden/sinful, scared you might lose your future because of it, but its just too sweet you cant let go,,
Outro Tear…being scared of love:/ also i know many consider this a gay break up song,, and now we know that yoongi wrote it in response to their talks of disbanding and it makes it even more sad and gay,,,,
Lie !! pretty straight forward i think!! caught in a lie trying to hide your true self, losing your sense of self in the process,, but knowing that your true self is still in there you just have to accept it
The Truth Untold ;; gosh,, internalized homophobia/ being in a homophobic society to a T ! not being able to show yourself to the world or give yourself to the one you love despite how much you want them, having to hide&wear a mask,,
Cypher pt 3 ! yoongis iconic line while hoseok moans in the bg, flowjob, unnies call me ppi ppi (gay men in s. Korea sometimes call older women they are close to unnie instead of noona), just guys being dudes on a diss track
Outro Her ! wearing a mask again, do i deserve ur love?,, all of my wonder, ur the answer, i call u her, cause ur my tear,, being confused but finding yourself in the one u love, but that love has to stay secret,, (her = a beard type situation imo)
Blood Sweat & Tears ! it has to stay a secret and it hurts but its still too sweet and you still want it so much,, also kill me softly is inherently homoerotic imo
So what ! gay club anthem me thinks ! saying who cares what they think about me and wanting to just have fun and shout and be yourself !! also taejin gay !! (pic from @lesbian_sope uwu)
I like it! lesbian anthem! uses the phrase “same love” a year after same love by macklemore came out ?? i dont think thats a coincidence 
Just one day ! wanting to only be with the one you love, even if its for just one day, wanting to share a day together where everything is perfect and you can just be in love and not worry,, hoping that person will stay with you even when times arent so perfect :[
Inner Child!! trans and gay anthem ! wishing you could go back & protect your younger self but knowing one day youre gonna grow up and figure everything out and finally be happy !
Serendipity ! being worried and scared to show your love but knowing that it is fate, and destiny, and meant to be ! feeling infinite when youre together with the one you love :(( just let me love you, everything was destined :”)
Trivia Love !! youre my person, youre my wind, youre my pride, you are my love :( do u think a straight man could write about love like that?? i think not 
Just dance !! fallin in love with ur friend or meeting a cutie at a gay club and dancing the night away ! ultimate pride song i think
Wishing on a Star ! Yoongi’s verse alone makes this song very gay but also,,, wishing on a star for your love story to come true, seeing it only in dreams,, “just be myself, just the way i am”
Good Day ! again yoongi’s verse solidifies the fact that its gay,, but to me the lyrics sound like supporting each others identities like,, one day it’ll all be okay and while we wait for that day were here with you as you find your way
Dionysus ! another gay party anthem ! getting “drunk” off of art is inherently gay imo, also uhh thyrsus is a phallic symbol and dionysus was by no means a cishet so yeah ! thank u hobi for this v gay song
Blue Side ! gay longing ! the yearning !
Love Maze! Believing in yourself and your love, making your own path and rules, “let them be them, let us be us,” “if were together, even an endless maze is paradise” :,,)
Answer: Love Myself ! learning to love yourself is hard enough but when ur lgbt+ sometimes it can be even harder :,) looking in the mirror for an answer, but in the end youre still you,, this song makes me happy in a sad way
Friends! its by vmin thats it,,, jk childhood best friends to lovers vibes, calling each other soulmates,, its gay ur honor
ON! its about found family imo, find me and im gonna bleed/live with you, when you find ur family you take on each others pain and happiness and finally LIVE together you know?
Respect !! namjoon says respect is greater than love and then calls yoongi his respect,, also namjoon proposed to yoongi in front of the lesbian flag, i just think namgi engaged
ProMeTheUs,, joon’s verse is something else,, he’s said he likes his face slapped before thats all i gotta say
4 o’clock ! it’s about vmin which automatically makes it very gay, it also refrences the movie Moonlight, which is about the life of a gay black man
House of Cards,, i know its about a toxic relationship, but the lines “even if you say its a useless dream, just stay a little more like this” and “if youre with me, im okay” give me big sad gay relying on a relationship to feel whole vibes
Blanket Kick,, embarrassing pining, i think thats a requirement of being gay, is it not?,, also every performance of this song is just,, yeah
Louder than bombs! co written by troye sivan obviously,, trying to find ur place in the world, dont be afraid of the bad in the world cause we’re together, we’re louder than their bombs and hate
War of hormone- pretending and trying too hard to appear straight and cringely lusting after every girl/guy under the guise of “hormones”,, this is all i have to offer
pied piper- could be a take on how lgbt love is viewed as promiscuous and lustful, viewed as “ruining” each other but its a warm love you cant live without,, also taejin gay again !!
Even if I die, it’s you,, literally the title alone sounds gay ,, putting your life on the line, to the ends of the world to stay with your love, “you are my best decision, nothing can stop me” cue me crying
Stay gold ! even though the world feels cold and hateful you gotta stay gold and true to you! also they said this about the song hehe
I Know ! namkook did it for the lgbts, i know you love me boy, i know you love me girl, dont worry bout a thing my love !! <33
Sweet Night ,, gosh literally just pining after your best friend, “how could i know one day id wake up feeling more” ,,” im wondering are u my best friend” literally the whole song captures the gay pining experience i think
Promise ! youre hurting cause youre mine :/ but i want you to be youre own happiness,, lets promise to be honest and happy together
Burn it (ft max !) literally just the line “theres someone in the mirror that you dont know” ,, thats such a common lgbt, especially trans, experience,, wanting to burn that image and the voices inside until you feel like u
I believe ! i believe in me and my voice and who i am and what i can become !! being proud of urself ya know ! also “u can hide ur face boy, but u cant hide ur heartbeat,,” no matter how u try u cant hide ur heart :(
and thats all i have !! im sure i missed some so feel free to reply with other songs u think are lgbt+ coded !! i hope you enjoyed
