two things to remember about this song: 1) lennon never commented on what the song was about (beyond confirming it's a dylan pastiche), and the epstein connection is conjecture; 2) it's not very good

i respect your valid opinions my friend but 2) it's pretty good actually, not top tier beatles but still, i love john's dylan impression and 1) the final arbiter of a song's meaning is the listener, not the writer. especially with how ambiguous and suggestive beatles songs tend to be. if i think this song's gay, then it is! for me at least and that's all that matters

if that’s how you view music, sure, absolutely. i’m just saying that contrary to conventional wisdom there’s never been any confirmation that john wrote it about epstein lol

Definitely one of my top five favorite Beatles songs. [7] Lennon's voice was simply incredible, this song is one of his best vocal performances. [2]

It was rumored that this was the first gay rock song, a message to Beatles manager Brian Epstein, who was gay. In the part of The Beatles Anthology, that covers Epstein's death, this song is played, giving credence to the idea that this song was indeed a song about hiding one's homosexuality. http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=72
