If anyone still wanna claim this song as a gay song, it is not surprising. Look at the lyrics. It is speaking of a man who is longing to be accepted and wanted to be loved. And since that the lead singer Morrissey was reputed to be gay, it makes a perfect fit that How Soon Is Now, from the album Hatful of Hollow (1984), is a song that cries out the longing of a gay man for love.

I am the son
and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

I am the son
and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and the heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

There's a club, if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home
And you cry
And you want to die

When you say it's gonna happen now,
Well, when exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone

I am Human And I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

It reached no.24 in the UK chart. And look! I did find this song in Youtube.
