i'm with you! i grew up then also, graduated high school in 1982, i saw duran duran live 5x, dm, inxs 1st tour, lived that new wave dance scene. just saying i don't recall pet shop boys never hit me as gay as much as like the communards or bronski beat. in fact, i remember it all as very non-gay even though most all the clubs that played that music were gay clubs, maybe it was all very gay and i just decided that didn't matter and that's why i don't recall the gayness of it. i know 1 thing, getting girls at those gay clubs on alt music nights was a breeze.
