I think it might even need five exclamation marks: !!!!! And the hand gesture, like in The Middleman.
You might also want to give And I Moved a listen. It's from the same album, and very nearly as gay as "Rough Boys."
Townshend has this weird and kind of infuriating history of taking baby steps out of the closet and then running back in. In the early 1990s he did an interview for some rock music book where he said (I'm quoting as exactly as I can remember) "I understand gay people. I know what gay sex is like." Then Roger Daltrey had a public shit fit about it, helpfully reinterpreting Townshend's comment in case anyone imagined it meant Townshend, you know, knew what gay sex is like. And Townshend then did another interview where he said he was straight.
I kind of want to know what business it was of Roger Daltrey's. More specifically, I want to know how many how many times on tour they drunkenly fucked and then pretended it had never happened. Because Daltrey sure seemed to take the possibility of Townshend's queerness very personally.
