Significance[]

In 1994, "When a Man Loves a Woman" was released in the UK with alternate gay-themed mixes by progressive house/trance outfit, BBG. The BBG mixes substituted the gender roles in their titles, hence they were "When a Man Loves a Man" and "When a Woman Loves a Woman". Watley's willingness to discuss gay issues was unprecedented at the time and still remains a rarity among artists to this day.^{[citation needed]}
