The ter was set ablaze last week when Thy Thor, the now-elimated petor om season 3 of RuPl’s Drag Race All Stars, appeared to claim on natnal televisn that Stevie Nicks was not a gay in. Thy sce clarified her stance, tellg Billboard the show’s edg was misleadg and that she actually said, “Stevie Nicks is not a gay in who n w at a gay drag queen petn next to the divas this challenge. Even so, needs to be reerated that Stevie Nicks is unequivolly a gay in.

Over the s Stevie has garnered a massive gay fan followg, which she regularly acknowledg. Along wh her shoutout on Drag Race, here are five more reasons that Stevie Nicks serv her gay in stat. When stg down for an terview wh OUT Magaze, Nicks uld have given any multu of answers as to why she thks she has such a passnate gay fanbase.

5 REASONS STEVIE NICKS IS A GAY IN

“I n’t say that I’m so glad that gay people like my mic, bee I have never looked at gay people as different om any other people, ” she said.

She even add that she thks the ia of g out is naturally unfair to gay people. “If I were gay, the send that I knew, I would have said, ‘OK, everybody, this is how is, and eher you still like me or I don’t re. Her stggl n be easily related to by the gay muny.

That openns is meant to help others wh their own stggl, which is somethg every gay in to date do for their dience: they make art out of their own personal trials orr to enurage others to face theirs head on. The Night of 1, 000 Stevi is one of the gayt thgs ever. There is even a 2001 movie, lled Gypsy 83, whose plot centers around gay teens tryg to get to the Night of 1, 000 Stevi.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS ASSISTANT COACH KEV MAXEN MAK HISTORY AFTER COMG OUT AS GAY

When asked when she knew she was a gay in by PriSource, Stevie said was when she learned about the annual celebratn. Even the in herself knows jt how fabulo and gay this yearly event is. Her mic has bee a backdrop for gay romantic love.

Separately, a Kickstarter mpaign om last year aimed to fund an animated short film entled The Shawl, which explored how the mic of Stevie Nicks brought two gay men together. Stewie on Fay Guy may be the gayt character on televisn, which is particularly tertg given the fact that he’s one year more than 300 episos of the Fox animated seri, the youngt Griff has been not-so-subtly “d gay, ” a phrase ed to scribe characters who exhib tras that ht at beg homosexual, whout explicly acknowledgg . This is a show that has had the smarmy toddler leerg at men showerg through a peephole, speakg at least once an episo homoerotic nuendo, cshg on male celebri, fangirlg over mil theatre, and even self-referencg beg “possibly homosexual.

Cecil Prchfield, both the perfect foil for Stewie but also a talyst for projectn: the olr gay Brish doctor wh a younger boyiend might jt be who Stewie, if not necsarily aspir to be, eventually settl for beg when he’s to the episo knowg is the Big One that addrs Stewie’s sexualy mak all the more enjoyable.
