Probably not unintentional - but I include it here because the homoerotic nature of the cover was pretty totally lost on teenage midwestern metal fans in the '80s. This is called the Judas Priest Syndrome.

Maybe NickB was referring to the gay back pocket handkerchief code (even though that's a baseball cap in Springsteen's pocket).
As for the Birdman & Lil' Wayne cover, I don't think it's particularly homoerotic in itself, you have to know the background - and if you do, any pic of those two would then be homoerotic.

look at the positioning of the guitar
seems like a natural way to hold a guitar if you're sitting cross-legged. you may as well argue that all guitars held at waist level look like penises. even through my pervy 21st century eyes, I just don't see it, and I don't think I'm being willfully naive.

http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Arts/Arts_/Pictures/2007/03/05/bond460.jpg if not, how are groups of naked guys intrinsically homoerotic? seems to me that there's a secret presumption that there's something "homo" about eroticizing men (accepting, for the moment, that nude = erotic). why not assume that the gaze is female or not specifically gendered? i mean, i get it if they're explicitly identified with queerness and/or femininity, or seem to be engaged in some sort of hanky pank, but naked guys hanging out doesn't necessarily = homoerotic. or does it?

seems to me that there's a secret presumption that there's something "homo" about eroticizing men (accepting, for the moment, that nude = erotic).
Isn't there a genereal stereotype that males are more interested in erotization (or downright porn for that matter) of whatever they are into than females are? Thus, naked males are seen as more "gay" than naked females, because one assumes that males (gay or straight) are more into nude or semi-nude images of whatever sex they are into than females are?
