New York indie rockers Vampire Weekend have a gay keyboardist who hopes one of the band's tracks becomes a gay anthem. "I'm gay": Rostam Batmanglij Rostam Batmanglij has told The Advocate magazine "I'm gay," and chatted about injecting a "homosexual perspective" into the band. I Wanna be your Boyfriend, a track off their debut album, was particularly meaningful for Batmanglij, he reveals. "With that song I was having fun, but at the same time it was honest — those lyrics came from my heart. "I was disappointed when it didn't become a gay anthem, but, you know, it's not too late." Vampire Weekend's video for their song A Punk appears below.
