Summarize this article for a 10 year old
"Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other" is a 1981 song by Latin country musician Ned Sublette featuring a "lilting West Texas waltz",[1] widely known as the "gay cowboy song".[2] The song satirizes stereotypes associated with cowboys and gay men, with lyrics relating western wear to leather subculture: "What did you think all them saddles and boots was about?"
Following Sublette's recording on the 1982 GPS release Life is a Killer, the song was covered by the Canadian alternative country band Lost Dakotas on the 1993 Cargo release Sun Machine, and the queercore band Pansy Division on the 1995 album Pile Up.
The 2006 cover by country musician Willie Nelson was the first gay-themed mainstream country song by a major artist.[3] Orville Peck collaborated with Nelson for a 2024 duet version.[4][5]
