Is this a Big Gay Song?

Question – is this Sisters of Mercy song actually a big gay song?

Something Fast

all the things
we never needed
i don’t need them now
all the things
were always confidential
and hidden from me anyhow

you can stand all night
at a red light anywhere in town
hailing marys left and right
but none of them slow down
i seen the best of men go past
i don’t want to be the last
gimme something fast

God knows everybody needs
a hand in their decision
some of us are not so sure
i seen his own held out
for a ride on television
i think he’s still in Baltimore

you can stand all night
at a red light anywhere in town
hailing marys left and right
but none of them slow down
i seen the best of men go past
i don’t want to be the last
gimme something fast
