There is absolutely nothing apologetic about Jay Brannan's CD "Goddamned". But it doesn't come off as some angry diatribe against established heterosexual, theocratic hegemony. He sings of his life as a gay man in very unpretensious, conversational ways that not only point out truths, but endear one to the truth-teller.
And it doesn't hurt that he has such a sweet voice.
I love this album. Buy it, then listen to it, even if some of it is uncomfortable.
