'Gay Boys in Bondage' t-shirt, sighted in an episode of The L Word

Just a really small question, but I was watching some episodes of The L Word recently and in it the character of Carmen wears a t-shirt with "Gay Boys in Bondage" written on it. I can't find any information about this though - is/was it a name of a company? A reference to something? The closest I can find is a song called "Gay Boys in Bondage" by Drug Addix, but that seems incredibly niche. Perhaps it is the reference though?

Or did the people on that show just make their own t-shirt slogans out of thin air?

'Tis a story of a man's great love for his... fellow men.

There's a scene in the Two Coreys teen dramedy movie DREAM A LITTLE DREAM (1989), where Corey Haim playing an eccentric hyperactive sidekick nick-named Dinger (really) sits down next to Corey Feldman's character Bobby, in an area of their school yard where both have been exiled to have lunch away from their girlfriends and their usual popular crowd of kids, and says:

[quote] DINGER: We are *not* supposed to go eat with the gorgeous women, y'know? We are on *probation*, Bobby, remember? Probation, y'know--men in cages, boys in bondage...

Kirsty MacColl sang back up in the Drug Addix, under the name Mandy Doubt. They auditioned for Stiff Records but Stiff was only interested in Kirsty. They asked if she had her own self penned material. She lied and said yes, before returning days later with a song called "They Don't Know."

May be referring to an ancient Python sketch

R3 - is that the song that Tracey Ullman ended up singing?

It's a joke in a sketch from Monty Python.

Oh, that's very cool to know, R6 (and R4)!

Speaking of Monty Python, anyone remember this? I remember seeing it as a kid after my dad bought the DVDs, and feeling... funny haha.

Ken, 25, is a mounted policeman with a difference... and [italic]what[/italic] a difference! Even Roger is surprised, and he's used to real men.

But who's going to do the cooking tonight? Roddy's got a mouthful...

Heh, R8! I went and watched that episode earlier. I love how into the novel Carol is when she's by herself. And how she tries to explain it away as a new Shakespeare, haha.
