"Go West" by the Pet Shop Boys may be the ultimate queer anthem. I really love it, anyway.

Pet Shop Boys: Always On My Mind
Sooner or later we ALWAYS end up back where we started. π
"Always On My Mind" is a fantastic song, though I think it's less inherently queer than "Go West." I love the video, too.
I've always interpreted the bit about "I'm going THERE... but I like it HERE, where everything is" as a metaphor for death. Because 80s queer culture, and also because frankly I interpret a lot of things as metaphors for death.
