Green Day's "Coming Clean" off Dookie has been included in Music Times.com's list of 8 Great LGBT Themed Songs. Green Day is listed first, other artists on the list include Lou Reed, Frank Ocean and The Smiths.

Though there appears to be a gay joke in the lyrics to Green Day's "Basketcase" ("I went to a whore, he said my life's a bore..."), there's actually some truth behind this line. Billie Joe Armstrong may never have actually visited a male prostitute, but he did struggle to come to terms with his bisexuality, something that he sings about in "Coming Clean" from Dookie.


The full list is available at MusicTimes.com.
